Biocidal Evaluations of Compounds

A minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value is obtained using a broth, two-fold serial dilution test performed as follows: A stock solution or dispersion of the test compound, typically at a concentration of 1%, is made in a 5:3:2 solvent solution of acetone, methanol, and water. A volume of the stock solution is dispensed into culture media to give an initial starting test concentration of 500 ppm. 250 ppm, or 125 ppm compound.

When the test is ready to be done, each vessel in the dilution series, except the first vessel, contains an equal volume of compound free broth. The first vessel contains twice the volume of broth with the starting concentration of test compound. One half of the broth from the first vessel is transferred to the second vessel. After being mixed, one half the resulting volume is removed from the second vessel and transferred to the third vessel. The entire cycle is repeated sufficiently to give a series of concentrations amounting to 500, 250, 125, 63, 31, 16, 8, and 4 ppm or 250, 125, 63, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.12 (or 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.2, 3.1, 1.6, and 0.8), respectively.

Each vessel is then inoculated with a cell suspension of the appropriate test organism. Bacteria are grown in broth and fungi on agar slants and algae is grown in cooling tower media for a time and at a temperature appropriate to the species being tested. At the end of the growth period, the broth is vortexed to disperse the cells. In the case of fungi, the spores are harvested by pipetting water onto the slant and dislodging the spores with a sterile loop. The cell/spore suspension is standardized by controlling incubation time, temperature, and the volume of the diluent. The suspension is then used to inoculate the vessels containing the broth compound. The vessels are then incubated at the appropriate temperature. After the incubation, the vessels are examined for growth/no growth. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is defined as the lowest concentration of compound that results in complete inhibition of growth of the test organism.

In-Vitro Plant Fungicide Tests of Compounds

The organisms employed in the test are:

PYU Pythium ultimum (Oomycete) PHY Phytophthora capsici (Oomycete) PIR Piricularia oryzae (Ascomycete) HEL Cochliobolus sativus (Ascomycete) BOC Botrytis cinerea (Ascomycete) FUS Fusarium roseum (Ascomycete) SEP Septoria nodorum (Ascomycete) RHI Rhizoctonia solani (Basidiomycete) XAN Xanthomonas campestris (bacterium)

Methods

1. Culture maintenance: Transfers in steps 1 and 2 are done in a laminar flow hood. All 8 fungi and the bacterium used in this test are transferred and maintained on potato dextrose agar plates each week (2 plates/organism). Organisms are used when they are the following ages: a. 1 week old: PYU, PHY, RHI; b. 2 weeks old: XAN, PIR, BOC, HEL, FUS, SEP, COL, MON, CER, UST, ALT; c. 3 weeks old: PSH, VEN. Pythium ultimum and Phytophthora capsici are transferred to asparagine-sucrose broth shake cultures (ASB). Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium roseum, and Zanthomonas campestris are mainted in yeast extract-dextrose broth (YDB) on a shaker. Culture flasks are inoculated with 6 mycelial plugs each (except for Pythium which is inoculated with only 3 plugs) taken from PDA plates. All liquid shaker cultures are used after 2 days growth. 2. Inoculum preparation. Conidia and mycelium from PIR, BOC, HEL, SEP, COL, MON, CER, PSH, UST and ALT are lightly scraped off into YDB so that mostly conidia are used as inoculum. The conidial suspension is strained through a double layer of cheesecloth to remove mycelial clumps. One plate produces enough conidia or mycelium to inoculate 100 ml of YDB. XAN broth culture is poured (1 ml culture/100 ml broth) into YDB. PYU, PHY, RHI and FUS cultures are ground up (2-3 5 second bursts in a blender) and all but Pythium and Phytophthora are filtered through a dobule layer of sterile cheesecloth to remove large mycelial clumps. Ten ml of the culture solutions of R. solani and F. roseum are added to 90 ml of YSB and 10 ml of the P. capsici is added to 90 ml ASB. Two ml of the culture solution of P. ultimum is added to 98 ml of ASB. Care must be made not to overinoculate (e.g. solutions should appear fairly dear to the eye, yet when held up to light a faint cloudiness should be visible) or standards will not behave properly. The inoculum mixtures are placed in microtiter plates using a 12-tipped pipet. 175 .mu.l (single dose) or 100 .mu.l (dose-response test) of inoculum broth is placed in each well of the microtiter plates. The plates with inoculated media are placed in the refrigerator overnight. There are two replications per treatment. 3. Addition of compounds. This operation is carried out in a chemistry hood. Six microtiter plates have 245 microliters of sterile water added to their wells ahead of time. 10 mg a.i. of the compounds are placed in 1 ml 1:1 acetone:methanol. 5 microliters of this solution is pipetted into the microtiter plates containing the sterile water according to the grid. There are 45 compounds and 3 scattered control treatments per plate. There are 2 replicates per treatment. 25 microliters of solution is transferred to the inoculated plates with a 96 well replicator. The replicator is flame sterilized with alcohol, rinsed with sterile water, and blotted on sterile paper towells between each transfer.

Example 6

Agricultural Fungicide Evaluations of Compounds

The compounds of this invention were tested for fungicidal activity in vivo against cucumber downy mildew (CDM), rice blast (RB), rice sheath blight (RSB), tomato late blight (TLB), wheat powdery mildew (WPM), wheat stem rust (WSR) and wheat leaf rust (WLR) and the results are shown in Table 4. In tests on cereals (except for rice plants used for testing rice blast), the plants were trimmed about 24 hours prior to the application of the fungicide compound to provide a uniform plant height and to facilitate uniform application of the compound and inoculation with the fungus. The compounds were dissolved in a 2:1:1 mixture of water, acetone, and methanol, sprayed onto the plants, allowed to dry (four to six hours), and then the plants were inoculated with the fungus. Each test utilized control plants which were sprayed with the water, acetone, and methanol mixture and inoculated with the fungus. The remainder of the technique of each of the tests is given below and the results are reported as percent disease control (percentages of plants treated with the compounds of the present invention lacking disease signs or symptoms compared to the untreated control plants).

Cucumber Downy Mildew (CDM):

Pseudoperonospora cubensis was maintained on leaves of live Marketer cucumber plants in a constant temperature room at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. in humid air with moderate light intensity for 7 to 8 days. A water suspension of the spores from infested leaves was obtained and the spore concentration was adjusted to about 100,000 per ml of water.

Marketer cucumber seedlings were inoculated by spraying the underside of the leaves with a DeVilbiss atomizer until small droplets were observed on the leaves. The inoculated plants were incubated in a mist chamber for 24 hours at about 70.degree. F. and then subsequently incubated for 6 to 7 days in a controlled temperature room under mist at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. Seven days after inoculation, the percent disease control was determined.

Rice Blast (RB):

Nato rice plants were inoculated with Piricularia oryzae (about 20,000 conidia per ml) by spraying the leaves and stems with an airbrush until a uniform film of inoculum was observed on the leaves. The inoculated plants were incubated in a humid environment (75.degree. F. to 85.degree. F.) for about 24 hours, then placed in a greenhouse environment (70.degree. F. to 75.degree. F.). Seven to eight days after inoculation, the percent disease control was determined.

Rice Sheath Blight (RSB):

Pellicularia filamentosa (f. sp. sasiki) was cultured on an autoclaved mixture of crushed rice seeds and potato dextrose broth (100 gms of rice seeds per 30 ml of potato dextrose broth) in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask. After 10 days, the culture was blended in a blender to produce a uniform inoculum. Approximately one teaspoon of inoculum was spread among Lebonnet rice seedlings on the soil surface of each pot (3 inch diameter). The inoculated seedlings were incubated for 5 days in a humidity cabinet (85.degree. F. to 90.degree. F.). Percent disease controls were determined immediately after removing the seedlings from the cabinet.

Tomato Late Blight (TLB):

Phytophthora infestans was cultured on four week old Pixie tomato plants in a controlled environment room (65.degree. F. to 70.degree. F. and 100% relative humidity). After storage, the spores were washed from the leaves with water and dispersed by DeVilbiss atomizer over three week old Pixie tomato plants which had been sprayed previously with experimental fungicides. The inoculated plants were placed in a humidity cabinet at 70.degree. F. and constant mist for 24 hours for infection. The plants were then moved to the controlled environment room as above and scored after three more days incubation. Disease control levels were recorded as percent control four days after inoculation and five days after spraying the compounds.

Wheat Powdery Mildew (WPM):

Erysiphe graminis (f. sp. tritici) was cultured on Pennol wheat seedlings in a controlled temperature room at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. Mildew spores were shaken from the culture plants onto Pennol wheat seedlings which had been sprayed previously with the fungicide compound. The inoculated seedlings were kept in a controlled temperature room at 65.degree. F. to 75.degree. F. and subirrigated. The percent disease control was rated 8 to 10 days after the inoculation.

Wheat Stem Rust (WSR):

Puccinia graminis (f. sp. tritici Race 15B-2) was cultured on Wanzer wheat seedlings for a period of 14 days in a greenhouse. A water suspension of the spores from infested plants was obtained and the spore concentration was adjusted to about 200,000 spores per ml of deionized water. Wanzer wheat plants which had been previously treated with the fungicide compounds were inoculated by applying the stem rust spore suspension, until runoff, with a DeVilbiss atomizer at 5 lbs. per square inch air pressure. After inoculation, the plants were placed in a humid environment at approximately 75.degree. F. where they were exposed to 12 hours of continuous darkness followed by a minimum of 3 to 4 hours of light having an intensity of about 500 footcandles. The temperature in the chamber did not exceed 85.degree. F. At the end of the light period, the plants were placed in a greenhouse where they were permitted to grow for a period of two weeks at which time the percent disease control was determined.

Wheat Leaf Rust (WLR):

Puccinia recondita (f. sp. tritici Races PKB and PLD) was cultured on seven day old wheat (cultivar Fielder) over a 14 day period in the greenhouse. Spores were collected from the leaves with a cyclone vacuum or by settling on aluminum foil. The spores were cleaned by sieving through a 250 micron opening screen and stored or used fresh. Storage employed sealed bags in an Ultralow freezer. When stored, spores must be heat shocked for two minutes at 40.degree. F. before use. A spore suspension is prepared from dry uredia by adding 20 mg (9.5 million) per ml of Soltrol oil. The suspension is dispensed into gelatin capsules (0.7 ml capacity) which attach to the oil atomizers. One capsule is used per flat of twenty of the two inch square pots of seven day old Fielder wheat. After waiting for at least 15 minutes for the oil to evaporate from the wheat leaves, the plants are placed in a dark mist chamber (18.degree.-20.degree. C. and 100% relative humidity) for 24 hours. The plants are then put in the greenhouse for the latent period and scored after 10 days for disease levels. Protective and curative tests were inoculated one day after and two days, respectively, before spraying the plants with the test chemicals.
