An investigation of Trichoderma biodiversity involving a
large-scale environmental gradient was conducted to understand
the Trichoderma distribution in China. A total of 3,999
isolates were isolated from forestry, grassland, wetland and
agriculture ecosystems, and 50 species were identified based
on morphological characteristics and sequence analysis of
genetic markers. Trichoderma harzianum showed the largest
proportion of isolates and the most extensive distribution.
Hypocrea semiorbis, T. epimyces, T. konilangbra, T. piluliferum,
T. pleurotum, T. pubescens, T. strictipilis, T. hunua, T.
oblongisporum and an unidentified species, Trichoderma sp.
MA 3642, were first reported in China. Most Trichoderma
species were distributed in Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces
in northeast China and the fewest were distributed in Qinghai
Province. Based on the division of ecological and geographic
factors, forestry ecosystems and low-altitude regions have
the greatest species biodiversity of Trichoderma.

Abstract

Streptomyces lydicus A01 and Trichoderma harzianum P1 are potential biocontrol agents of fungal diseases in plants. S. lydicus A01 produces natamycin to bind the ergosterol of the fungal cell membrane and inhibits the growth of Botrytis cinerea. T. harzianum P1, on the other hand, features high chitinase activity and decomposes the chitin in the cell wall of B. cinerea. To obtain the synergistic biocontrol effects of
chitinase and natamycin on Botrytis cinerea, this study transformed the chit42 gene from T. harzianum P1 to S. lydicus A01. The conjugal transformant (CT) of S. lydicus A01 with the chit42 gene was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Associated chitinase activity and natamycin production were examined using the 3, 5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method and ultraviolet spectrophotometry, respectively. The S. lydicus A01-chit42 CT showed substantially higher chitinase activity and natamycin production than its wild type strain (WT). Consequently, the biocontrol effects of S. lydicus A01-chit42 CT on B. cinerea, including inhibition to spore
germination and mycelial growth, were highly improved compared with those of the WT. Our research indicates that the biocontrol effect of Streptomyces can be highly improved by transforming the exogenous resistance gene, i.e. chit42 from Trichoderma, which not only enhances the production of antibiotics, but also provides a supplementary function by degrading the cell walls of the pathogens.
