Abstract

The fungal pathogen is the causal agent of devastating gray mold diseases in many economically important fruits, vegetables, and flowers, leading to serious economic losses worldwide. In this study, a novel actinomycete NEAU-LD23 exhibiting antifungal activity against was isolated, and its taxonomic position was evaluated using a polyphasic approach. Based on the genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, it is concluded that the strain represents a novel species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-LD23 (=CCTCC AA 2019029=DSM 109824). In addition, strain NEAU-LD23 showed a strong antagonistic effect against (82.6±2.5%) and varying degrees of inhibition on nine other phytopathogenic fungi. Both cell-free filtrate and methanol extract of mycelia of strain NEAU-LD23 significantly inhibited mycelial growth of . To preliminarily explore the antifungal mechanisms, the genome of strain NEAU-LD23 was sequenced and analyzed. AntiSMASH analysis led to the identification of several gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites with antifungal activity, including 9-methylstreptimidone, echosides, anisomycin, coelichelin and desferrioxamine B. Overall, this research provided us an excellent strain with considerable potential to use for biological control of tomato gray mold.
