Abstract

To stimulate the depressed curiosity and enhance the low interest in studying fundamental microbiological theory and skills of undergraduates, an open experiment “Screening and Identification of Biocontrol Bacteria Against Plant Pathogenic Fungus and Preliminary Exploration of the Antibacterial Activity” was designed and implemented. The research focuses on screening and identification of biocontrol bacteria that could inhibit plant pathogens. Biocontrol bacteria with significant inhibition ability of plant pathogens were screened and purified from soil samples. They were identified by morphological observation, physiological and biochemical testing, and also by 16S rDNA gene sequencing analysis. Then, their antibacterial activity was preliminarily explored based on growth curves. Good teaching effect was obtained.
