Abstract

Aims: Epiphytic bacteria, isolated from Deschampsia antarctica, were screened for their potential to inhibit the plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold disease of strawberry pseudofruits. This phytopathogenic fungus is more active and the disease is more serious in temperate climate where the temperatures are lower. Methodology: The approach involved the isolation and characterization of bacteria from the phyllosphere of D. antarctica and the evaluation of their antifungal activity. Results: A total of 56 bacterial strains were isolated and only one of them, identified by the sequencing of 16S rDNA gene, as Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis CMAA 1323, inhibited the mycelial growth and the conidial germination of the fungus. Its ethyl acetate extract also inhibited the mycelial growth. Analysis of the bioactive fraction by using liquid chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry (LC-MS) revealed the presence of cyclo(Pro-Val), a compound belonging to the class of diketopiperazines (DKPs). Conclusion: These findings support the potential use of the psychrophilic bacterium P.  frederiksbergensis as promising antifungal agent, and highlight the need for more studies with this bacterium in the biological control of plant pathogenic fungi.
