Environmental factors affecting the antagonism of Pseudomonas cepacia against Trichoderma viride

Author

Antagonistic activity of the bacterium Pseudomonas cepacia against Trichoderma viridewas greatly influenced by nutritional and environmental conditions. Xylose and trehalose strongly enhanced the antifungal activity of Pcepacia, whereas mannitol and glucose had little effect. The carbon sources that enhanced the antagonistic activity also inhibited sporulation of Tviride. Antagonism of Pcepacia was enhanced by ammonium nitrogen; however, with nitrite or nitrate there was only a little antagonism. The antagonism of Pcepacia was optimal at pH 5.0. Although Pcepacia showed maximum antagonism against Tviride at 37 °C, the antagonism was fairly good at temperatures as low as 18 °C, indicating that there is a broad range of temperature for the antifungal activity of PcepaciaKey words: antagonism, environmental factors, Pseudomonas cepaciaTrichoderma viride.
