To obtaining the filtrates, bacteria were cultivated in liquid trypic soy broth medium for seven days at 28 ºC under constant stirring, centrifugated at 10,000 g for 15 min and the supernatant was filtrated by 0,22 µm Millipore. Nonmotile Meloidogyne javanica and dead ones were counted 24 and 48 h later and hatched J2 were counted 15 days after setting up the experiment. Seven of 40 bacterial isolates tested immobilized the juveniles within 24 h, and they could not recover even in water. This effect was similar to the aldicarb treatment used as control. The filtrates of isolates also inhibited egg hatching. Two isolates killed more than 90% of J2 after 48 h of exposure. Filtrate dilutions of the most efficient isolate in 1:1 and 1:2 (bacterial filtrate: water) also showed to have effective action on nematode behaviors.
