Abstract

Meloidogyne incognita is one of the most destructive soil pests, causing serious economic losses in tomato production. Here, in vitro experiments demonstrated that the Bacillus licheniformis strain JF-22 has the potential to prevent M. incognita infection. A pot experiment confirmed that B. licheniformis strain JF-22 isolated from the tomato rhizosphere soil and planted in the tomato root-knot nematode disease area effectively prevented and controlled M. incognita , reducing its negative effect on tomato growth. Additionally, the composition of volatile substances secreted by B. licheniformis strain JF-22 was analyzed using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. We detected acetoin, 2,3-Butanediol, [R-(R*,R*) ]-, and hexamethyl cyclotrisiloxane as the main components among these volatiles. Using MiSeq sequencing technology and bioinformatics, we analyzed the influence of B. licheniformis strain JF-22 on the microbial community of the tomato rhizosphere. B. licheniformis strain JF-22 changed the composition of the microbial community; particularly, it significantly reduced the diversity of the fungal community. Furthermore, using the FUNGuild and PICRUSt databases, we predicted the effect of JF-22 on microbial community function. In conclusion, B. licheniformis strain JF-22 may be considered as a potential biocontrol agent against M. incognita .
