    Abstract:
    AIMS: Application of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Streptomyces salmonis PSRDC-09 (VOCs PSRDC-09) grown on sterile wheat seeds against chili anthracnose pathogen was investigated in vitro and in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS: Among 10 isolates of Colletotrichum species tested, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides PSU-03 was selected as the most aggressive anthracnose pathogenic strain on chili fruit against VOCs produced by Streptomyces species. Among 11 isolates, the strain PSRDC-09 exhibited the highest antifungal activity and was identified as S. salmonis PSRDC-09. The antagonistic mechanism of the VOCs PSRDC-09 on morphological of C. gloeosporioides PSU-03, observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), revealed the irregular distortions in the fungal hyphae. The effect of inoculum size and spore concentration of S. salmonis PSRDC-09 prepared as a wheat seed inoculum on the suppression of C. gloeosporioides PSU-03 was studied both in vitro and on chili fruit. The optimum inoculum size (45 g 0·31 l-1 ) and spore concentration (107 spores per ml) of the wheat seed culture of S. salmonis PSRDC-09 exhibited the complete suppression (100% inhibition) on C. gloeosporioides PSU-03. The optimum fumigation period of the VOCs PSRDC-09 (45 g 1·38 l-1 ) was found to be 24 h. Based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, 14 major VOCs (produced by the strain PSRDC-09) were detected and l-linalool was the main volatile component. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that the VOCs from S. salmonis PSRDC-09 could effectively control the chili anthracnose disease caused by C. gloeosporioides. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: These findings suggest that S. salmonis PSRDC-09 may have the potential to become a promising biofumigant for biocontrol of chili anthracnose disease in the postharvest system.
