Jaiswal A, Pandey AK, Mishra Y, Dubey SK. Insights into the biodegradation of fipronil through soil microcosm-omics analyses of Pseudomonas sp. FIP_ A4. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 363:142944. [PMID: 39067829 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide, is used to kill insects resistant to conventional insecticides. Though its regular and widespread use has substantially reduced agricultural losses, it has also caused its accumulation in various environmental niches. The biodegradation is an effective natural process that helps in reducing the amount of residual insecticides. This study deals with an in-depth investigation of fipronil degradation kinetics and pathways in Pseudomonas sp. FIP_A4 using multi-omics approaches. Soil-microcosm results revealed ∼87% degradation within 40 days. The whole genome of strain FIP_A4 comprises 4.09 Mbp with 64.6% GC content. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and enoyl-CoA hydratase-related protein, having 30% identity with dehalogenase detected in the genome, can mediate the initial degradation process. Proteome analysis revealed differential enzyme expression of dioxygenases, decarboxylase, and hydratase responsible for subsequent degradation. Metabolome analysis displayed fipronil metabolites in the presence of the bacterium, supporting the proposed degradation pathway. Molecular docking and dynamic simulation of each identified enzyme in complex with the specific metabolite disclosed adequate binding and high stability in the enzyme-metabolite complex. This study provides in-depth insight into genes and their encoded enzymes involved in the fipronil degradation and formation of different metabolites during pollutant degradation. The outcome of this study can contribute immensely to developing efficient technologies for the bioremediation of fipronil-contaminated soils.

Mili C. Bioprospecting of endophytes associated with Solanum species: a mini review. Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:254. [PMID: 37253927 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03596-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Endophytes are considered the repository of bioactive compounds as they contain a wide variety of chemically and structurally diverse secondary metabolites. The endophytes associated with Solanum species have been studied for the last few years. Therefore, the present study aimed to discuss the bioactive compounds produced by endophytes associated with Solanum species and their biological activities. Our study reveals that among the Solanum species, only 13 species have been studied in the context of endophytes so far. Overall, a total number of 98 bioactive compounds have been reported from endophytes associated with Solanum species, of which 64 compounds are from fungi and 34 compounds from bacteria. These bioactive compounds belong to different chemical groups such as sterols, flavonoids, volatiles, and many others and exhibited diverse biological activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiparasitic, antioxidants, and plant growth-promoting activity. Moreover, the endophytic fungi were reported to produce two compounds that are often present in the host plants. These condensed data may open the door for further research and provide details on potent endophytes associated with Solanum species.

An exopolysaccharide-producing novel Agrobacterium pusense strain JAS1 isolated from snake plant enhances plant growth and soil water retention. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21330.

Abstract
A peculiar bacterial growth was very often noticed in leaf-initiated tissue cultures of Sansevieria trifasciata, a succulent belonging to the Asparagaceae family. The isolate left trails of some highly viscous material on the walls of the suspension vessels or developed a thick overlay on semisolid media without adversities in plant growth. FTIR identified this substance to be an extracellular polysaccharide. Various morphological, biochemical tests, and molecular analyses using 16S rRNA, atpD, and recA genes characterized this isolate JAS1 as a novel strain of Agrobacterium pusense. Its mucoidal growth over Murashige and Skoog media yielded enormous exopolysaccharide (7252 mg l-1), while in nutrient agar it only developed fast-growing swarms. As a qualifying plant growth-promoting bacteria, it produces significant indole-3-acetic acid (86.95 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (172.98 mg l-1), ammonia (42.66 µmol ml-1). Besides, it produces siderophores, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase, fixes nitrogen, forms biofilms, and productively solubilizes soil inorganic phosphates, and zinc. Under various treatments with JAS1, wheat and chickpea resulted in significantly enhanced shoot and root growth parameters. PGP effects of JAS1 positively enhanced plants' physiological growth parameters reflecting significant increments in overall chlorophyll, carotenoids, proline, phenols, flavonoids, and sugar contents. In addition, the isolated strain maintained both plant and soil health under an intermittent soil drying regime, probably by both its PGP and EPS production attributes, respectively.

Bioprospects of Endophytic Bacteria in Plant Growth Promotion and Ag-Nanoparticle Biosynthesis. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11141787. [PMID: 35890421 PMCID: PMC9324254 DOI: 10.3390/plants11141787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
In this study, five endophytic bacterial strains, namely Rhizobium pusense (MS-1), Bacillus cereus MS-2, Bacillus flexus (MS-3), Methylophilus flavus (MS-4), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MS-5), were used to investigate their potential role in the enhancement of growth yields of two types of tomato varieties, viz. hybrid and local, and in the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The inoculation of bacterial strains enhanced the root and shoot length, biomass, and leaf chlorophyll contents. The fruit weight of the tomato (kg/plant) was also higher in the bacteria inoculated plants of both hybrid and local varieties than in the control (untreated). A significant increase was recorded in the fruit yield (g/plant) in all the treatments, whereas Methylophilus flavus (MS-4) inoculated plants yielded nearly 2.5 times more fruit weight compared to the control in the hybrid variety and two times higher in the local variety. The response to M. flavus as a microbial inoculant was greater than to the other strains. Biosynthesis of Ag nanoparticles was also carried out using all five endophytic bacterial strains. The weakest producers of AgNPs were Rhizobium pusense (MS-1) and Methylophilus flavus (MS-4), while Bacillus cereus MS-2, Bacillus flexus (MS-3), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MS-5) were strong producers of AgNPs. Nanoparticles were further characterized using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and revealed cuboidal shaped AgNPs in the Bacillus cereus MS-2 strain. In addition, the biosynthesized AgNPs showed antibacterial activity against various pathogenic and endophytic bacterial strains.

Tissue-specific diversity of bacterial endophytes in Mexican husk tomato plants ( Physalis ixocarpa Brot. ex Horm.), and screening for their multiple plant growth-promoting activities. CURRENT RESEARCH IN MICROBIAL SCIENCES 2021; 2:100028.

Abstract
Endophytic bacterial diversity of root, stem, and leaf tissues of Physalis ixocarpa was deciphered. Unique and shared species were found for each plant compartment analyzed. Extensive screening of various isolates exhibited antagonism against fungal pathogens. Diverse endophytes stimulated the growth of Physalis ixocarpa seedlings. Neobacillus drentensis CH23 stood out as an excellent plant growth-promoting bacterium.
The endophytic bacterial diversity of root, stem, and leaf tissues of Mexican husk tomato plants (Physalis ixocarpa) was compared and deciphered, and screened for their plant growth-promoting activity and antagonism against fungal phytopathogens. Total 315 isolates (108 roots, 102 stems, and 105 leaves) were obtained and characterized by 16S ribosomal gene sequencing. The most abundant genera were Bacillus, Microbacterium, Pseudomonas, and Stenotrophomonas. Unique species were found for each tissue analyzed, along with B. thuringiensis, B. toyonensis, Neobacillus drentensis, Paenibacillus castaneae, P. fluorescens, P. poae, and S. maltophilia present throughout the plant. Biodiversity indices did not show significant differences, but root tissues showed the highest abundance of bacterial endophytes. Several isolates showed excellent promotion activities in Physalis ixocarpa seedlings, increasing the length and weight of the root, total biomass, and chlorophyll content. Various isolates also exhibited antagonism against fungal pathogens. Among screened isolates, Neobacillus drentensis CH23 was found in all plant compartments, exhibiting growth-promoting activity and fungal antagonism. Strain CH23 and other endophytes showed the production of indoleacetic acid, siderophores, proteases, and solubilization of phosphates. These results demonstrate that the husk tomato plant endobiome has a high potential as a bioinoculating agent for agriculturally important crops.

Bioprospecting of Beneficial Bacteria Traits Associated With Tomato Root in Greenhouse Environment Reveals That Sampling Sites Impact More Than the Root Compartment. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2021; 12:637582.

Abstract
Tomato is subject to several diseases that affect both field- and greenhouse-grown crops. To select cost-effective potential biocontrol agents, we used laboratory throughput screening to identify bacterial strains with versatile characteristics suitable for multipurpose uses. The natural diversity of tomato root-associated bacterial communities was bioprospected under a real-world environment represented by an intensive tomato cultivation area characterized by extraseasonal productions in the greenhouse. Approximately 400 tomato root-associated bacterial isolates, in majority Gram-negative bacteria, were isolated from three compartments: the soil close to the root surface (rhizosphere, R), the root surface (rhizoplane, RP), and the root interior (endorhizosphere, E). A total of 33% of the isolates produced siderophores and were able to solubilize phosphates and grow on NA with 8% NaCl. A total of 30% of the root-associated bacteria showed antagonistic activity against all the tomato pathogens tested, i.e., Clavibacter michiganesis pv. michiganensis, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, Pseudomonas corrugata and Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. We found that the sampling site rather than the root compartment of isolation influenced bacterial composition in terms of analyzed phenotype. This was demonstrated through a diversity analysis including general characteristics and PGPR traits, as well as biocontrol activity in vitro. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequencing of 77 culturable endophytic bacteria that shared multiple beneficial activity revealed a predominance of bacteria in Bacillales, Enterobacteriales, and Pseudomonadales. Their in vitro antagonistic activity showed that Bacillus species were significantly more active than the isolates in the other taxonomic group. In planta activity against phytopathogenic bacteria of a subset of Bacillus and Pseudomonas isolates was also assessed.
