Abstract

Ganoderma boninense is a pathogeni c fungi which caused disease on oil palm. In this stud y, bacteria were used as an antagonist to study the effect on growth of G. boninense. Mycelia of G. boninense were inoculated simultaneously with the antagonist, the bacteria isolates on MEA media in the same Petri dish. The degree of the inhibition was measured and the changes of the hyphae margin were observed. From the study, it was found that out of 122 bacteria isolates, 37 bacteria iso lates were able to inhibit the grow th of G baninense. Among 37 bacteria isolates, the most effective to inhibit the growth of G. boninense was bacteria isolate of 0030. The ability of the bacteria isolates to inhibit the growth of G. ballinense might be due to antibiosis, competition [or nutrient and space, the growth rate of bacteria, capability of bacteria to adhere and parasitise the hyphae of G. boninense and the antifu ngal properties that present in bacteria pigments. Further research on using bacteria as a biological control agent should be conducted due to its potential.
