Abstract: Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is one of the important (PGPR) influence plant growth by a number of direct legume crops worldwide including in Indonesia. National (producing plant growth promoting substances) and demand for soybean increases 18% annually accordance indirect (through prevention of deleterious effects of with domestic population growth, however the soybean phytopathogenic microorganisms) mechanisms. Five production is quite low (Direktorat Pangan dan pertanian species of were isolated from rhizospheric soils of 2015, Ratulangi 2004). soybean and peanut fields from several locations in North Soybean suffers considerable damage from collar Sumatra. On the basis of morphological and biochemical rot disease incited by (Curzi) (formerly characteristics, the bacteria were identified as Aeromonas rolfsii). A. rolfsii is a soil borne fungal pathogen hydrophila, Burkholderia cepacia, Serratia ficaria, Pantoea which has a wide host range including rice, mungbean, spp. 2, and alginolyticus. These species were tested peanut, soybean, sweet potato, banana, wheat and potato in vitro against the causal pathogen of collar rot disease (Agrios 1997). A. rolfsii was first reported as a of soybean, Athelia rolfsii, which is an important soybean blight pathogen in Florida, USA by Rolfs (1892). Saccardo disease in Indonesia. The five species of bacteria were (1911) named the fungal pathogen as Sclerotium rolfsii, subjected to screening of antagonistic activities against which has had taxonomic revision and transferred into A. A. rolfsii in vitro with a dual culture-technique. Of the rolfsii (Tu and Kimbrought 1978). five species, B. cepacia, S. ficaria and V. alginolyticus In Indonesia the yield losses due to collar rot disease were the most effective antagonistic bacteria to control A. affecting soybean and other legumes reach 5-55% in dry rolfsii. B. cepacia, S. ficaria and V. algynolitycus produced land or wet land (Nautiyal 2002, Wahyuningsih 2005). inhibiting zones against A. rolfsii of 98.35%, 97.83% and The disease intensity in the field is mostly more than 5%, 96.97% respectively. All bacterial species showed their which has an impact on the yields economically because it antagonistic activity significantly with the inhibiting causes yield reduction or failure to harvest (Wahyuningsih zone percentage being more than 60%. The experimental 2005). The infection occurs in the early plant growth, results suggested that all bacterial species have a future showing seedling rot or damping-off of seedlings. In potency as a biocontrol agent to reduce A. rolfsii collar rot the older plant (2-3 weeks old), rot symptom occurs in disease of soybean. the collar part of the plant with brown spots and white mycelia on the infected area (Semangun 2000).

In vitro antagonism of five rhizobacterial species against Athelia rolfsii collar rot disease in soybean 265 was aimed to test the antagonistic effect of rhizobacteria solubilization (Widayanti 2007), Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) isolated from legumes in North Sumatra against A. rolfsii production (Agustiansyah et al. 2013) and siderophore in vitro. production where the absorbance values were measured by spectrophotometer (Dirmawati 2003). The biochemical assays and the PGPR screening 2 Methods assays were replicated three times.

2.1 Sample collection 2.4 In vitro screening for antagonism Soil samples of soybean’s rhizosphere were collected from districts of Tanjung Selamat, Lubuk Pakam and Binjai, Five selected bbacterial isolates, which were screened North Sumatera, Indonesia, while soil samples of peanut’s based on a PGPR assay in vitro for growth inhibition of rhizosphere were collected from districts of Tanjung the phytopathogenic A. rolfsii. Briefly, 5 μl drops Selamat, Medan Johor and Binjai, North Sumatera. Soil of each bacterial culture (108 CFU/ml) were streaked samples were collected on the basis of random sampling equidistantly on the margins of PDA plates. A mycelial from 5 points from a depth of 5-25 cm between healthy agar plug of 5 mm diameter from a 7-day-old culture of A. plants and infected plants. The soils were composited in rolfsii was grown on PDA plates next to the streak of the one plastic bag before being brought to the laboratory. test bacterium. Control plates not inoculated with bacteria were also prepared. Two independent experiments with each bacterial isolate were performed and each experiment 2.2 Bacterial isolation was replicated three times. Plates were incubated at 28°C for 2 days. Antagonistic activity was assessed by relating Ten grams of soil was mixed with 90 ml of sterile water for mycelia diameter on plates inoculated with bacteria to 15 min. A dilution series of 10-5 was conducted. The soil mycelia diameter on control plates and computing the suspension was streaked onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) percentage of Growth Inhibition (GI %). The inhibition of media, which was used to grow both phytopathogenic the mycelial growth of A. rolfsii was measured by using the fungi A. rolfsii and the bacteria, and incubated for 48 following formula: hours at 28°C. The bacteria grew very well on the PDA media. The homogenous bacterial colonies based on the colony morphology were separated and re-cultured until pure cultures were obtained. where I = inhibition of mycelial growth of the pathogen (%), C = growth of A. rolfsii in the control plate (mm) and T = growth of the pathogen in plates challenged with PGPR 2.3 Bacterial identification (mm) (Kumar et al., 2011)

Many studies confirmed degraded the cell wall of fungal hyphae (Ordentlich et al. that the inhibitory activity against plant pathogens was 1988). also effective killed root-knot associated with the production of several secondary nematode (Meloidogyne sp.) in vitro (Safni et al 2018) metabolites including altericidins, cepacin, and others This study identified Serratia ficaria as the selected PGPR (Kirinuki et al. 1977; Parker et al. 1984; EI-Banna and strains which inhibited growth of A. rolfsii in vitro. There Winkelmann 1998). Although B. cepacia has been proven is no report finding S. ficaria and Vibrio alginolyticus as a as a good biocontrol agent, some strains may pose a biocontrol agent. Grimont et al. (1979) isolated S. ficaria risk to human health which cause severe infections in from fig trees, caprifigs and fig wasps in California and cystic fibriosis (CF) and immunocompromised patients Tunisia and from a small black ant in France. Grimont (Mahenthiralingam et al. 2005; Vandamme and Peeters and Grimont (2006) added that four percent of S. ficaria 2014; Peeters et al. 2013). Because of this reason, the US isolates was isolated from plants. Vibrio species are withdrew the biopesticide product of B. cepacia from the usually found in aquatic environment and sometimes market (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2004-09-29/ 15a small amount are found in the wood substrates where pdf/04-21695.pdf).
