PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel Pythium nunn bacterium which has an antagonistic activity on pathogenic bacteria belonging to the genus Pythium such as Pythium ultimum.SOLUTION: The Pythium nunn bacterium has a specific base sequence in an ITS region that contains 5.8S of rDNA. The Pythium nunn bacterium has an antagonistic activity on pathogenic bacteria belonging to the genus Pythium such as Pythium ultimum. The bacterium is sprayed onto a land where pathogenic bacteria such as Pythium ultimum have been inhabited to control plant diseases including wilt disease.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】ピシウム・ウルティマムのような病原性を有するピシウム属菌に対して拮抗性を有する新規なピシウム・ナンの提供。【解決手段】rDNAの5.8Sを含むITS領域に特定の塩基配列を有する、ピシウム・ナン。ピシウム・ウルティマムのような病原性を有するピシウム属菌に対して拮抗性を有する、ピシウム・ナン。該菌をピシウム・ウルティマムなどの病原性菌が生息する土壌に散布して、立枯病などの植物病害を防除する。【選択図】図5
