description <i>Cnidium officinale Makino</i>, a perennial crop in the <i>Umbeliperae</i> family, is one of Korea’s representative forest medicinal plants. However, the growing area of <i>C. officinale</i> has been reduced by plant disease and soil sickness caused by fusarium wilt. This study isolated rhizosphere bacteria from <i>C. officinale</i>, and their antagonistic activity was evaluated against <i>Fusarium solani.</i> Particularly, four isolated strains, namely, PT1, ST7, ST8, and SP4, showed a significant antagonistic activity against <i>F. solani</i>. An in planta test showed that the mortality rates of shoots were significantly low in the PT1-inoculated group. The fresh and dry weights of the inoculated plants were also higher than that of the other groups. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified the strain PT1 as <i>Leclercia adecarboxylata</i>, and downstream studies confirmed the production of antagonism-related enzymes such as siderophore and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase. The phosphorous solubilizing ability and secretion of related enzymes were also analyzed. The results showed that PT1 strain could be utilized as promising plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biocontrol agents (BCAs).
