Objective To isolate the Streptomyces hebeiensis strain JL9001 with significant biocontrol potential against tomato Fusarium wilt from Pseudostellaria heterophylla roots, elucidate the complete genome sequence and functional annotation of the strain, and extract genetic data pertaining to its secondary metabolites, thus offering a valuable microbial resource and a theoretical foundation for the biological management of tomato Fusarium wilt. Methods The colony morphology on various media was examined via the plate streaking technique. The antagonistic properties of strain JL9001 against Fusarium oxysporum were evaluated through the plate confrontation assay. The activities of metabolites (crude fermentation extract) against F. oxysporum were assessed via the microdilution method. The effectiveness of strain JL9001 in managing tomato Fusarium wilt was evaluated through root drenching with the fermentation broth. Whole genome sequencing of strain JL9001 was conducted, and the sequencing data were analyzed by appropriate software for species identification, gene prediction, functional annotation, and prediction of secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters. Results Strain JL9001 demonstrated optimal spore production on the SIM medium. Antagonistic assays indicated that it inhibited the mycelial growth of F. oxysporum by 40.18%. Furthermore, the crude fermentation extract at a concentration of 1 000 μg/mL completely inhibited F. oxysporum. Pot trials revealed that irrigation with the fermentation broth of JL9001 resulted in a 51.61% reduction in tomato Fusarium wilt on day 13. The genome of strain JL9001 comprised 7 700 822 base pairs with the G+C content of 71.46%, encompassing 6 589 genes. Analysis predicted the presence of 27 biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites including terpenoids, polyketides, and siderophores, which may possess antimicrobial properties. Conclusion This study elucidates, through antagonistic and pot experiments, that strain JL9001 effectively mitigates the incidence of tomato Fusarium wilt. The analysis of the genomic composition and functional gene information of strain JL9001 provides a basis for exploring the antimicrobial mechanisms of natural products, examining secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters, and assessing the potential of Streptomyces-derived secondary metabolites.
