Popis: Background: Antagonisms against Fusarium spp. and multi-traits to protect and improve fertilization of wheat by bacterial strains from activated sludge were assessed. Methods: Isolated strains obtained were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the MALDI-TOF method, and their enzymatic profile was investigated. Treated plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) wheat kernels were grown in pots with soil contaminated with Fusarium conidia. Activated sludge is a collection of microorganisms exposed to strong environmental pressure (chemicals) and antagonistic properties. Results: The isolated bacterial strains were similar to: Ps-1 (Serratia liquefaciens), Ps-15 (Serratia sp.) and Ps-9 (Pseudomonas helleri). The dual culture assay showed the highest antagonism of Ps-9 vs. Fusarium spp. The tested bacteria showed activity in the production of chitinase, a variety of proteases, enzymes that degrade various sugars, and esterase, which creates a complex that allows for a variety of strategies to control phytopathogens. The Ps-9 strain was able to solubilize phosphate. The Ps-9 and Ps-15 strains showed good ammonification ability. A marked improvement was observed in test variants in pots inoculated with Fusarium spores after the use of Ps-9. The Ps-9 strain reduced the disease index to traces of symptoms of both species of Fusarium and increased the grain weight. Conclusions: The Ps-9 strain was proven to have high potential for application in the biocontrol and promotion of wheat growth.
