Lysobacter capsici YS1215 is a soil-borne strain that could inhibit the growth of phytopathogenic fungi, including Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum , as well as root-knot nematodes. The effect of different concentrations of bacterial culture filtrate (BCF) of L. capsici YS1215 on the mortality of second-stage juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne incognita was studied using 24-well plates. The J2 mortality increased with increasing concentrations of BCF. YS1215 also produces gelatinases in the culture filtrate. To study its role in nematicidal activities, the partial purification and the characterisation of gelatinolytic proteins were done from the culture medium of the YS1215. The partially purified proteins showed three clear bands with molecular weights estimated using zymography to be 255.7, 232.1 and 146.4 kDa. The optimal pH and temperature for the proteins were 8.0 and 40°C, respectively. The activity of the proteins was inhibited by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, FeCl ₃ and 1,10-phenanthroline, whereas it was activated by MnCl ₂. The proteins may belong to the group of metalloproteases. Moreover, the proteins could hydrolyse skimmed milk, collagen, gelatin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as substrates, but not casein. The proteins could induce 75% J2 mortality in five days and degrade the J2 bodies. The present study demonstrates the role of the gelatinolytic proteins in the nematicidal potential of L. capsici YS1215.
