    Abstract:
    Biocontrol of soil-borne pathogens by recruiting soil microbiota brings forth benefits to soil quality and plant production while lowers environmental impact. Succinoglycan possesses various biological activities, but its role in soil amendment is still elusive. The succinoglycan Riclin was investigated in this study as a polysaccharide-type biocontrol agent for improving the soil suppressiveness on a typical fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC). Results demonstrated that addition of Riclin increased the soil microbial carbon and lowered the species richness of soil fungal communities. After addition of 2.5 mg/g Riclin for 90 days, the relative abundance of Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were increased by 76.6% and 193.4%, compared with the control. Meanwhile, Proteobacteria and Ascomycota were decreased by 25.9% and 30.4%. The relative abundance of beneficial genera, namely Nocardioides, Kribbella, Streptomyces, Gaiella, Marmoricola, Bacillus, and Rhizobium, became 1.13, 5.17, 0.87, 0.45, 3.57, 4.53, and 6.30 folds higher than the control, respectively. Antagonism towards soil-borne pathogens was probably enhanced as both hydrolase activity and biosynthesis of bioactive secondary compounds were improved. Importantly, Riclin-treated soil significantly reduced the incidence of Fusarium wilt of cucumber seedlings by suppression of FOC. In conclusion, addition of Riclin was conducive to the improvement of soil suppressiveness.
