Abstract: In this study, the effects of soil organic matter contents, temperature and soil pH value on colonization of marine biocontrol bacterium of L1-9 in root surface soil were investigated. 16S rDNA gene fragments of the strain in the root surface soil were quantified using quantitative real-time PCR method. The results showed that soil organic matter content, temperature and pH exhibited significant impacts on colonization of the strain L1-9 in root surface soil (P<0.01). The propagation of the strain L1-9 in root surface soil was faster under the temperature of 25℃, which was 5.79×108 copies per gram dry soil, and 4.3 times of that under 15℃. Addition of organic matter (20-40 g/kg) increased the population density of the strain L1-9. The maximum colonization level of the strain L1-9 in the root surface soil was achieved in pH 7. This study laid a foundation for the development and application of the marine biocontrol bacterium L1-9 against soilborne diseases of cucumber.

Key words: Paenibacillus polymyxa, root surface soil, colonization, quantitative real-time PCR
