Abstract EN
Currently, there is an absolute concern for all nations in agricultural productivity to meet growing demands of human population.
In recent time, biosurfactants produced by diverse group of microorganisms are used to achieve such demands as it is known for its ecofriendly use in elimination of plant pathogens and for increasing the bioavailability of nutrients for plants.
Endophytic fungi are the important source of secondary metabolites and novel bioactive compounds for different biological applications.
In the present study, endophytic fungi Xylaria regalis (X.
regalis) recovered from the cones of Thuja plicata was evaluated for its biosurfactant producing ability and plant growth-promoting abilities through various screening methods and also via its antagonistic activity against phytopathogens like Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger.
In addition, X.
regalis was also tested in vivo for a various range of growth parameters in chilli under greenhouse conditions.
Significant increase in shoot and root length, dry matter production of shoot and root, chlorophyll, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents of chilli seedlings was found, which reveals its ability to improve the growth of crop plants.
Hence, this study suggests the possibility of biosurfactant producing endophytic fungi X.
regalis as a source of novel green biosurfactant for sustainable agriculture to achieve growing demands.
