Abstrakt: The current research based on greenhouse experiment evaluates the impact of the Lactobacillusstrains (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paralimentaris, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus pentosus, and Lactobacillus buchneri) previously isolated from maize silage on the Fusarium verticillioides-infected maize plants. The growth parameters as well as catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, and peroxidase antioxidant enzymes activity were investigated in one-month old seedlings, after inoculations with Fusariumor co-inoculations with Fusariumand the Lactobacillusstrains. Application of Lactobacillusstrains in maize seedlings significantly enhanced the plant growth and biomass. The best effect was observed when the L. buchneriwas applied. It was revealed that inoculation with Fusariumstimulated antioxidant enzyme activity and co-inoculation with Lactobacillusstrains reduced the enzyme activity, compared to Fusariumtreatment alone. This is the first report that revealed the bioprotective role of Lactobacillusstrains against F. verticillioides.
