Article Synopsis
- Biotic stress from pathogens significantly harms crops, particularly tomatoes and carrots, which are vital vegetables worldwide.
- Fourteen plant growth-promoting actinomycetes (PGPA) were tested for their ability to combat key fungal and bacterial pathogens, showing promising antifungal and antibacterial effects.
- The most effective strains, H12 and H14, demonstrated notable in vitro biocontrol capabilities and positively influenced plant health during in vivo experiments, indicating their potential as effective biocontrol agents.
This study underlines the biotechnical valorization of the accumulated and unusable remains of agro-industrial orange fruit peel waste to produce α-amylase under submerged conditions by Streptomyces sp. KP314280 (20r). The response surface methodology based on central composite design (RSM-CCD) and artificial neural network coupled with a genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) were used to model and optimize the conditions for the α-amylase production.
