Abstract:

The antimicrobial activity, phyto-stimulating effect and mechanism of action of rhizobacteria isolated from three endemic
legumes in Algeria (Ononis angustissima, Astragalus gombo and Calobota saharae) were evaluated. Phenotypic and
genotypic identification of isolates with high antimicrobial activity revealed the strains Streptomyces sp. 21, 2A26, 1B10 and
2C34. The four Streptomyces sp., solubilize phosphate and produce extracellular fungal cell-wall degrading enzymes chitinase
and protease as well as a marked production of acid-β-indoleacetic (AIA). The In vivo results have revealed that the four strains
of Streptomyces sp. significantly stimulate growth and reduce the disease incidence caused by Fusarium oxysporium in chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.). These results indicate that the strains of Streptomyces sp. isolated from rhizosphere of Ononis angustissima
could be an interesting source of bioactive substances with a high potential for biological control.
