Streptomyces rochei ACTA1551, an Indigenous Greek Isolate Studied as a Potential Biocontrol Agent against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici

Table 2

Germination data of tomato seeds during in vivo antagonism bioassays. The total number of planted tomato seeds was (20 per pot) × (three replicates for each pot) × (four independent experiments) = 240. All experimental data were combined for the analysis.

	Soil infected with  Fusarium oxysporum			Soil not infected with  Fusarium oxysporum
	Number of planted tomato seeds	Number of germinated tomato seeds	Germination percentage^1	Number of planted tomato seeds	Number of germinated tomato seeds	Germination percentage^1
Seeds treated with ACTA1551	240	181±2	75%	240	218±2.2	90%
Untreated tomato seeds	240	108±1	45%	240	228±1.9	95%

1Unpaired 𝑡-test on the number of germinated seeds: seeds treated with ACTA1551 in infected soil versus untreated tomato seeds in infected soil were significantly different (𝑃<0.001); seeds treated with ACTA1551 in noninfected soil versus untreated tomato seeds in noninfected soil were significantly different (𝑃<0.001).
