Antagonistic activity of selected bacteria against colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Harumanis mango. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Cawangan Shah Alam. (2015)
Abstract
Harumanis mango is one of the most popular fruits in Malaysia and has excellent potential as an export crop. The major pre and postharvest disease of mango is anthracnose, caused by the fimgus C. gloeosporioides. Synthetic fungicides are commonly used to reduce losses from anthracnose disease. However, their use gradually become more restricted due to public concern over toxic residues. The aims of this study were to isolate the causal agent of antracnose and the antagonistic bacteria from the Harumanis mango, determine the antagonist activity of antagonist
bacteria towards C. gloeosporioides in vitro, identifying the pathogen and the antagonist bacteria by 16S rDNA and screening the antifungal compounds produced by the antagonist bacteria.
