In order to screen the bacteria strains with high nematicidal activity against the pine nematode(Bursaphelenchus xylophilus),one bacteria strain with high nematicidal activity on Bursaphelenchus xylophilus,named LZ-01was isolated from surface of pickled mustard.Based on the observation of morphology,the determination of physiological and biochemical characteristics,the analysis of 16SrDNA sequence and phylogenetic tree,LZ-01was identified as Bacillus cereus.Bioassay of nematicidal activity of filtered culture of LZ-01against the pine nematode showed that thecorrected mortality of pine wood nematode reached 100%after treatment for 10h.
