Optimization of Fermentation Conditions for Bacillus pumilus LYMC-3 to Antagonize Sphaeropsis sapinea
FERMENTATION-BASEL(2023)
Abstract
Bacillus pumilus is widely used as a biocontrol agent. To further develop the biological control potential of B. pumilus LYMC-3 against pine blight, a statistical experimental design was used to optimize a liquid medium using low-cost substrates to improve its antagonistic activity against Sphaeropsis sapinea. Through the plate antagonism test and greenhouse control effect test, this study determines the antifungal effect of strain LYMC-3 against S. sapinea and pine blight. Moreover, response surface optimization methodologies were used to systematically optimize the medium composition and culture conditions of the LYMC-3 strain. The plate antagonism test showed that the inhibition rate of LYMC-3 fermentation filtrate (diluted 5-fold) was 66.09%. The greenhouse control effect test showed that the control effect of its fermentation filtrate on shoot blight reached 89.99%. The response surface optimization test ultimately determined that a higher inhibition rate can be achieved under these conditions: the optimal medium components were 7.2 g/L glucose, 15 g/L peptone, and 7.1 g/L magnesium sulfate; the optimal culture conditions were 52% liquid volume, 28 degrees C culture temperature, an initial pH of 7, and 1% bacterial inoculation volume. Under the optimized system, the five-fold diluted LYMC-3 fermentation filtrate inhibition rate against S. sapinea was 81.23%, which was 15.84% higher than that before optimization. Meanwhile, optimize the selection of lower-cost and more commonly used glucose instead of beef paste as the carbon source for the culture medium, and choose cheaper magnesium sulfate instead of sodium chloride as the nitrogen source.
