Study Notes

Pseudomonads' biomass level depends on oxygen saturation of the environment for the production of an active bacterial drug.
Modern bio-laboratories with aerated bioreactors are necessary for the cultivation of bacteria to create a high-quality biofungicide.
Gamair, Phytosporin-M, Bactofit, PhytoDoctor, Alirin-B are some types of biofungicides based on bacteria.
Bacillus subtilis strains are used for the production of these biofungicides, some are toxic to certain pests (aphidimiza).
Pseudomonads suppress diseases through antagonism, which involves the formation of antibiotic substances, protein compounds and peptides, lytic enzymes, siderophores and other biologically active compounds.
Many rhizospheric bacteria synthesize phytohormones that stimulate plant growth and help in the penetration of minerals.
Siderophores, low molecular weight compounds that form a complex with the Iron ion, facilitate its transport to both microbial cells and root cells.
A number of biofungicides have been created based on pseudomonads, such as Gaupsin and Planriz.
Syngenta, Corteva Agriscience, BASF, Nufarm, FMC, Agro are some of the big producers of plant protection products, along with domestic biological enterprises.
Culture medium can be prepared from local liquid filtered or unfiltered bard, with titer of 10-20 billion Koe/ML for filtered bard (Option 1).
Dry bar can also be used as the basis of the culture medium, with titer of 5-6 billion Koe/ML (Option 2).
Dry loose bar obtained by technology of reduced scheme (Option 3) or dry granulated or crushed beer grains can also be used as the basis of the nutrient medium (Option 4), with titer of 5.5–7 billion CTB/ML.
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens OPS-32 strain grown in described culture medium achieves a high level of spore (at least 95%) and no easily accessible soluble sugar remains.
Biological products do not accumulate in plant tissues, effectively suppress certain plant diseases and do not harm people and animals, strengthen the immunity of garden crops.
Disadvantages of biological products include their necessity for refrigeration to maintain effectiveness and the fact that some pathogens and insects can build up resistance to them over time.
