Abstract: Ginger root rot caused by Pythium aphanidermatum seriously endangers ginger production and brings serious economic losses to ginger production. At present, the stem base diseases of ginger are difficult to control, and the use of chemical agents is easy to remain. The biological control of rhizome diseases is also lack of effective prevention and control products. In this experiment, Bacillus was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of ginger, and a strain with good control effect was screened by in vitro screening of ginger root rot. ZF522 was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens according to its morphological characteristics, physiological and biochemical characteristics and phylogenetic tree analysis. Under the condition of pot experiment, the control effect of biocontrol strain ZF522 on ginger root rot reached 50.84%. Agarose gel electrophoresis showed that strain ZF522 contained srfA, fenA, ituA, ituC, bymA, bymB and other antimicrobial lipopeptide synthesis genes. These genes are closely related to the reported antimicrobial lipopeptides. In summary, strain ZF522 has good biocontrol potential against ginger root rot, and is a biocontrol strain with development and utilization value.
