The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize antagonistic rhizobacteria from chili against a notorious phytopathogen Phytophthora capsici. Among the 48 bacteria isolated, BTLbbc-02, BTLbbc-03, and BTLbbc-05 were selected based on their inhibitory activity against P. capsici. They were tentatively identified as Burkholderia metallica BTLbbc-02, Burkholderia cepacia BTLbbc-03, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa BTLbbc-05, respectively, based on their 16S rRNA gene sequencing. All inhibited the growth of P. capsici at varying levels by inducing characteristic morphological alterations of P. capsici hyphae. The cell-free culture supernatant of all three isolates impaired motility (up to 100%) and caused lysis (up to 50%) of the halted zoospores. Bioassays revealed that Pseudomonas sp. had higher antagonism and zoospore motility-inhibitory effects against P. capsici compared with two other isolates, Burkholderia spp. and B. metallica, which caused vacuolation in mycelium. All three bacteria suppressed sporangium formation and zoosporogenesis of P. capsici, and improved the seed germination and growth of cucumber. Our findings suggest that epiphytic bacteria, B. metallica, B. cepacia, and P. aeruginosa, could be used as potential biocontrol agents against P. capsici. A further study is required to ensure conformity with the existing regulations for soil, plant, and human health.

Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora capsici is a serious disease affecting a wide range of plants. Biochar as a soil amendment could partially replace peat moss and has the potential to suppress plant diseases, but its effects on controlling phytophthora blight of container-grown peppers have less been explored, especially in combination of biological control using Trichoderma. In vitro (petri dish) and in vivo (greenhouse) studies were conducted to test sugarcane bagasse biochar (SBB) and mixed hardwood biochar (HB) controlling effects on pepper phytophthora blight disease with and without Trichoderma.

The γ-butyrolactone scaffold, commonly present in natural products and bioactive compounds, has played a crucial role in the development of novel pesticides. In this study, a series of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone derivatives containing a diphenyl ether moiety were designed and synthesized using the scaffold splicing strategy. Bioassays revealed that several target compounds demonstrated potent fungicidal activities, particularly against and .

Aims: This study aimed to assess the mode of action of fusaric and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acids on cell respiration by measuring the hyphal oxygen consumption rate, and the effects on cell membrane integrity by determining the electrical conductivity of the mycelium.
Methods And Results: Bioactivity-directed fractionation of the active culture medium and mycelium organic extracts from the Fusarium lactis strain SME13-2 isolated from Sapium macrocarpum, led to the isolation of two known alkylpicolinic acid derivatives: fusaric acid and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid, along with the known polyketide bikaverin. Fusaric acid and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid exhibited antioomycete and antifungal activities, significantly inhibiting the radial growth of Phytophthora capsici, Pythium aphanidermatum, Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum.
