ABSTRACT
Overuse of fungicides to control crop diseases results in ecological damage, environmental pollution, and human health risks. Biocontrol is an increasingly popular alternative in plant disease management due to sustainability and environmental friendliness. Herein, antagonistic tests and greenhouse experiments were conducted to investigate the antagonism of a self-isolated white-rot fungus Ceriporia lacerata HG2011 against phytopathogens in vitro, the underlying mechanism exerted by this fungus, and disease control efficiency in the greenhouse. The results demonstrated that both soluble and volatile substances produced by this fungus suppressed the growth of all test phytopathogen fungi and oomycetes in vitro, with the inhibitory rates of 10.4-60.6% for soluble metabolites and 30.3-52.9% for volatiles. C. lacerata HG2011 could grow in and gradually spread on living phytopathogenic colonies, concurrently deformed and lysed pathogenic hyphae in dual culture, which were associated with the release of hydrolase (cellulose, chitinase, ß-glucanase, and protease) from this biocontrol fungus for the use of the pathogens as nutrient sources. The chitinolytic and cellulolytic production by C. lacerata HG2011 presents the specific response to the cell wall of pathogenic fungi and oomycetes, and ß-glucanase was triggered by carbon competition. Consequently, C. lacerata HG2011 successfully controlled eggplant stem blight and cucumber vine blight (control efficacy 67.9-70.9%) in the greenhouse experiments. C. lacerata HG2011 showed multiple antagonistic mechanisms against the phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes concurrently. Our results provided information about a new potential use of this fungus as a biocontrol agent to control plant diseases in modern agriculture beyond medical purposes, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.
