The broad biocontrol properties of myxobacteria (mainly members of the genera Corallococcus
and Myxococcus) isolated from forest soils against main fungal pathogens of pine seedlings were estimated.
Among the myxobacterial strains studied (in vivo tests), the strongest antagonism towards fungi was
noticed for the strains of the species Myxococcus virescens Thaxter and Corallococcus exiguus Reichenbach.
They inhibited the fungal growth within the range 38–63%. The strongest inhibitory reaction towards Cylindrocarpon
destructans (Zinssm.) Scholten was observed. A predominating part of myxobacteria (22 from
among 30) inhibited the growth of Rhizoctonia solani Kühn. Myxobacteria suppressed any pathogenic action
of Rhizoctonia solani (strain 411) towards Scots pine seedlings (in vitro tests). They produced extracellular
(but not intracellular) acidic and neutral proteinases. None of the myxobacterial strain under examination
produced chitinases. The 57% of the myxobacterial strains studied produced siderophores.
The numbers of myxobacterial strains, obtained from under forest trees were in the following order:
Betula pendula Roth. > Pinus sylvestris L. > Alnus glutinosa Gaertn. = Quercus robur L.
The results gained in present work have proved potential use of myxobacteria as biocontrol agents
against Rhizoctonia solani, common fungal pathogen of pine seedlings.
