摘要:
The present invention relates to novel strains of Streptomyces microflavus and methods of their use for controlling diseases or pests of a plant. The invention also relates to a fermentation broth obtained by cultivating a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 1 g/L gougerotin. The invention also relates to a method of producing a fermentation broth of a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 1 g/L gougerotin, the method comprising cultivating the Streptomyces strain in a culture medium containing a digestible carbon source and a digestible nitrogen source under aerobic conditions, wherein the culture medium contains an amino acid at a concentration effective to achieve a gougerotin concentration of at least 1 g/L. The present disclosure also relates to the molecular cloning of a gougerotin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces microflavus, and identification of individual genes in the gene cluster as well as the proteins encoded thereby. A gougerotin gene cluster comprising 13 open reading frames (ORFs) is located within a genetic locus of Streptomyces microflavus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) Streptomyces microflavus strain NRRL B-50550 and/or a mutant thereof having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and/or a mutant thereof having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and b) at least one further biological control agent selected from specific microorganisms and/or a mutant of it having all identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Streptomyces microflavus strain NRRL B-50550 and/or a mutant thereof having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one insecticide in a synergistically effective amount, with the proviso that the biological control agent and the insecticide are not identical. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Streptomyces strains, preferably gougerotin-producing Streptomyces strains such as Streptomyces microflavus strain NRRL B-50550 and/or a mutant thereof having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one fungicide (I) in a synergistically effective amount, with the proviso that the biological control agent and fungicide (I) are not identical. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of increasing abiotic stress resistance enhancing soil nutrition of a plant, the method comprising applying a composition comprising Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus pumilus or a mutant thereof, to the plant, to a part of the plant and/or to an area around the plant or plant part. The invention also is directed to a method of enhancing soil nutrition comprising applying a composition comprising Bacillus subtilis or a mutant thereof to the soil.
