Corn stalk rot, caused by Fusarium graminearum, is one of the most destructive diseases of maize in many regions of the world. A bacterial strain BV23 was isolated from corn rhizosphere that reduced corn stalk rot significantly in greenhouse studies in 2016 and 2017. BV23 was identified as Bacillus vallismortis, which showed antagonistic effects against a number of fungal pathogens, including F. graminearum, Rhizoctonia solani, Athelia rolfsii, and Thanatephorus cucumeris. BV23 had the greatest fungistatic effect on F. graminearum, inhibiting mycelial growth by 66.2%, conidial germination by 90.1%, and conidial production by 86.7%. The probable antifungal mechanism was assessed by examining the morphology and ultrastructure of F. graminearum hyphae. Treatment by BV23 culture supernatant resulted in coarser hyphae, induced cytoplasmic granulation, and increased cell membrane permeability of F. graminearum, causing cytoplasm leakage. These effects became increasingly obvious with increasing concentration (1%, 5% and 10%). Furthermore, the antifungal active substances were sensitive to heat.
