Microbial community analysis of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and its effect on the mycoparasitism of Coniothyrium minitans

Coniothyrium minitans is a mycoparasite of the plant pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. It can parasitize sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum, reducing apothecial production and disease incidence. However, in the natural soils, the effect of sclerosphere microbes on infection of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia by C. minitans is poorly understood. This study was focused on the ecology of the sclerosphere microorganism community of S. sclerotiorum sclerotia, using isolation and molecular techniques. We analyzed the sclerosphere microorganism community of S. sclerotiorum in different treatments, including sampling time and burial depth of sclerotia. Results showed that the populations of bacteria and fungi in sclerosphere soil were significantly higher than those in sclerotia-free soils. Two hundred and fifty-three bacteria and one hundred and eighty fungi were isolated from sclerosphere soil. Base on bacterial 16S rDNA and fungal internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA sequences, we identified Pseudomonas and Bacillus as the dominant bacterial populations in the sclerosphere. Whereas, Penicillium was the dominant fungus population in the sclerosphere. In the dual culture in vitro assays, there were 25 and 22 sclerosphere bacterial strains with antagonistic activity against S. sclerotiorum and C. minitans, respectively. Furthermore, sclerotial infection assay showed that seven bacterial strains significantly suppressed infection of sclerotia by C. minitans in vitro. These results suggest that in the field, sclerosphere bacteria might play an important role in suppression of the infection of sclerotia by C. minitans.
