Overview

Randomized trial identifies antifungal cellulolytic bacteria in organic waste, suggesting their potential for biocontrol.

Key Points

  • This study aims to isolate cellulolytic bacteria from organic waste and evaluate their antifungal properties.
  • Isolated cellulolytic bacteria from 27 organic waste samples through serial dilution and culturing on nutrient agar.
  • Screened isolates for cellulolytic activity using carboxymethyl cellulose agar with Congo red staining.
  • Characterized selected isolates through colony morphology, Gram staining, and biochemical tests.
  • Five isolates inhibited the growth of Fusarium oxysporum by 33.35% to 61.02%, with CB2 showing the highest inhibition.
  • The same isolates inhibited Venturia inaequalis by 14.6% to 21.34%, with CB2 again exhibiting the highest effect.
