ABSTRACT

Basal stem rot disease of oil palm caused by Ganoderma boninense is one of the most devastating diseases in oil palm plantation resulting in low yield, loss of palm stands and shorter replanting cycle. To-date, there is no effective treatment for Ganoderma infected palms. Control measures, either chemical or cultural approaches, show varying degrees of effectiveness. The application of biological control agents which is environmental-friendly could be an attractive solution to overcome the problem. Earlier, we had isolated a mycoparasite, Scytalidium parasiticum from the basidiomata of Ganoderma boninense. In vitro assay and nursery experiment showed that this fungus could suppress Ganoderma infection and reduce disease severity. However, metabolites which might contribute to the antagonistic or mycoparasitic effect remain unknown. In the current study, optimization of fungal sample processing, extraction, and analytical procedures were conducted to obtain metabolites from the maize substrate colonized by mycoparasitic ascomycetous Scytalidium parasiticum. This technique capable of producing sexual spores in sac-like organs. Untargeted metabolomics profiling was carried out by using Liquid Chromatography Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS). We found that S. parasiticum in both liquid- and solid-state cultivation gave higher metabolite when extracted with 60% methanol with 1% formic acid in combination with homogenisation methods such as ultrasonication and grinding. The findings from this study are useful for optimisation of metabolite extraction from other fungi-Ganoderma-plant interactions.

ABSTRAK

Penyakit busuk pangkal batang bagi pokok kelapa sawit yang disebabkan oleh Ganoderma boninense adalah salah satu penyakit yang paling serius di ladang sawit yang mengakibatkan hasil yang rendah, kekurangan pokok sawit yang produktif dan kitaran penanaman semula yang lebih singkat. Sehingga kini, tiada rawatan berkesan untuk pokok sawit yang dijangkiti Ganoderma. Langkah-langkah kawalan, sama ada pendekatan kimia dan teknik pengkulturan, menunjukkan tahap keberkesanan yang berlainan. Penggunaan agen kawalan biologi yang mesra alam boleh menjadi langkah alternatif yang terbaik dalam menangani masalah ini. Scytalidium parasiticum telah dipencilkan daripada basiodamata G. boninense. Kajian in vitro dan nurseri telah menunjukkan bahawa kulat ini boleh merencatkan jangkitan Ganoderma dan mengurangkan kesan yang lebih parah terhadap penyakit ini. Walau bagaimanapun, metabolit yang mungkin menyumbang kepada kesan antagonistik atau mikoparasit masih tidak diketahui. Dalam kajian ini, pengoptimuman pemprosesan sampel, pengekstrakan dan analisis dilakukan untuk mendapatkan metabolit daripada mikoparasit“askomise S. parasiticum yang dikultur dengan substrat jagung. Teknik ini mampu menghasilkan spora seksual dalam organ seperti sac. Pemprofilan metabolomik tidak bertumpu dilakukan dengan Kromatografi Cecair Ion Terbang Spektrometri Jisim (LC-ToF-MS). Kami mendapati bahawa S. parasiticum yang dikultur dalam media cecair dan dalam keadaan pepejal memberikan jumlah metabolit lebih tinggi apabila diekstrak dengan 60% metanol dan 1% asid formik dengan kombinasi kaedah penghomogen seperti ultrasonikasi dan pengisaran. Keputusan kajian ini adalah berguna untuk mengoptimumkan penghasilan metabolit daripada ekstrak interaksi kulat-Ganoderma-sawit.
