Abstract
Lipopeptides are a class of lipid-peptide-conjugated compounds with differing structural features. This structural diversity is responsible for their diverse range of biological properties, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Lipopeptides have been attracting the attention of food scientists due to their potential as food additives and preservatives. This review provides a comprehensive overview of lipopeptides, their production, structural characteristics, and functional properties. First, the classes, chemical features, structure-activity relationships, and sources of lipopeptides are summarized. Then, the gene expression and biosynthesis of lipopeptides in microbial cell factories and strategies to optimize lipopeptide production are discussed. In addition, the main methods of purification and characterization of lipopeptides have been described. Finally, some biological activities of the lipopeptides, especially those relevant to food systems along with their mechanism of action, are critically examined.

J Appl Microbiol 2024; 135:lxae048. [PMID: 38389225 DOI: 10.1093/jambio/lxae048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Stem rot caused by Fusarium concentricum is a new disease of Paris polyphylla reported by our research group. The present study investigates the growth inhibitory and apoptotic effects of Bacillus velezensis FJAT-54560 lipopeptide against F. concentricum. METHODS AND RESULTS HPLC preparation and LC-MS analysis results show that the crude lipopeptides secreted by Bacillus velezensis FJAT-54560 isolated from Jasminum sambac consist of C14-17 iturin A, C14 fengycin B, C16 fengycin A/A2, C18 fengycin A, C20 fengycin B2, C21 fengycin A2, C22-23 fengycin A, C12-16 surfactin A, and C15 surfactin A derivatives. The mass ratios (g/g) of iturin, fengycin, and surfactin in lipopeptides are 2.40, 67.51, and 30.08%, respectively. Through inhibition zone and inhibition rate experiments, we found that crude lipopeptides and purified fengycin exhibit strong antifungal activity against F. concentricum, including accumulation of reactive oxygen species, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA fragmentation, Ca2+ accumulation, chromatin condensation, and phosphatidylserine externalization. Transcriptomic analysis indicates that crude lipopeptide-induced apoptosis in F. concentricum cells may be mediated by apoptosis-inducing factors and apoptosis mediators and can serve as a metacaspase-independent model. CONCLUSION Lipopeptides from Bacillus velezensis FJAT-54560 can control the pathogenic fungus F. concentricum by inducing apoptosis.

Microorganisms 2024; 12:294. [PMID: 38399699 PMCID: PMC10892835 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12020294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The overuse of chemical fungicides against fungal pathogens adversely affects soil and plant health, resulting in environmental problems and food safety. Therefore, biocontrol is considered as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective green technique in environmental protection and agricultural production. We obtained a bacterial strain N23 from a contaminated plate which showed significant inhibition to anthracnose. The strain N23 was identified as Bacillus velezensis based on 16S rRNA gene, gyrA gene, and whole-genome sequence. The bacterium N23 was able to suppress the mycelial growth of numerous plant pathogenic fungi on solid media. Tomato seeds treated with strain N23 showed significantly higher germination levels than untreated ones. Moreover, strain N23 effectively reduced the lesion area of pepper anthracnose disease in planta. The gene clusters responsible for antifungal metabolites (fengycin, surfactin, and iturin) were identified in the genome sequence of N23 based on genome mining and PCR. Furthermore, methanol extracts of the bacterial culture caused significant inhibition in growth of the fungal Colletotrichum sp. and Botrytis cinerea. These findings suggested that B. velezensis N23 could be a potential biocontrol agent in agricultural production and a source of antimicrobial compounds for further exploitation.

Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 407:110420.

Abstract
Bacillus velezensis M3-7 is a hyperactive mutant, 12-fold improved in its antifungal activity, obtained during a previous study from the wild strain BLB371 after a combination of random mutagenesis and medium component optimization. This study explores the use of this mutant in synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) for the control of Fusarium crown rot disease (FCR) in wheat seedlings. LC-MS/MS analysis proved that both strains co-produced different families of lipopeptides and that mutagenesis caused the hyper-production of iturin A C14 and C15, the liberation of iturin A C10 and C12, and the inhibition of fengycin release. Our aim was a further improvement in the antifungal activity of the wild strain and the mutant M3-7 in order to control Fusarium crown rot disease (FCR) in wheat seedlings. Therefore, a nanotechnology approach was adopted, and different lipopeptide concentrations produced by the wild strain and the mutant M3-7 were used as capping agents to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) with enhanced antifungal activity. Ag-NPs formed using 3 mg·mL-1 of the mutant lipopeptides were found to exhibit a good distribution, improved antifungal activity, a promising potential to be used as a biofortified agent for seed germination, and an effective compound to control FCR in wheat seedlings.

Molecular characterization and in silico evaluation of surfactins produced by endophytic bacteria from Phanera splendens. Front Chem 2023; 11:1240704. [PMID: 37608862 PMCID: PMC10441774 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1240704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The Phanera splendens (Kunth) Vaz. is a medicinal plant that is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases, such as malaria. This plant presents highly efficient endophytic bacterial isolates with biocontrol properties. Bacillus sp. is responsible for the production of a variety of non-ribosomal synthesized cyclic lipopeptides which highlight the surfactins. Surfactins have a wide range of antimicrobial activity, including antiplasmodial activity. There is scientific evidence that surfactin structure 2d-01 can be a potent inhibitor against a Plasmodium falciparum sirtuin (Sir2) by acting on the Sir2A protein as the target. The Pf genome encodes two known sirtuins, PfSir2A and PfSir2B, where PfSir2A is a regulator of asexual growth and var gene expression. Herein, we have identified six surfactins produced by endophytic bacteria and performed in silico analysis to elucidate the binding mode of surfactins at the active site of the PfSir2A enzyme. Among the characterized surfactins, 1d-02 showed the highest affinity for the PfSir2A enzyme, with binding energy values equal to -45.08 ± 6.0 and -11.95 ± 0.8 kcal/mol, using MM/GBSA and SIE methods, respectively. We hope that the information about the surfactin structures obtained in this work, as well as the potential binding affinity with an important enzyme from P. falciparum, could contribute to the design of new compounds with antimalarial activity.

Abstract
In this study, two new cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) pseudophomins C (3) and D (4) and two known CLPs pseudophomins A (1) and B (2) were produced and characterized from the bacterial supernatant of Pseudomonas sp. HN8-3 by an OSMAC (one strain-many compounds) approach. OSMAC is a strategy that involves feeding of a single microorganism with divergent substrates to stimulate the production of new secondary metabolites. These pseudophomins were purified and identified via chromatographic methods, droplet collapse assay, genome mining, spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Moreover, bioactivity tests showed that pseudophomins could lyse the zoospores of Phytophthora capsici in vitro, and coapplication of pseudophomins with zoospores of P. capsici further reduced the incidence of P. capsici on cucumber leaves. Collectively, these results indicated that pseudophomins have the potential to be developed as biopesticides for controlling P. capsici in cucumber.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to isolate active substances from metabolites of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SJ100001 and examine their antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) SJ300024 screened from the root-soil of cucumber wilt. METHODS AND RESULTS An active substance, anti-SJ300024, was obtained from the fermentation broth of strain SJ100001 by reversed-phase silica gel and gel chromatography, and further got its chemical structure as cyclic lipopeptide Epichlicin through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). In vitro experiments showed that Epichlicin had a better inhibitory rate (67.46%) against the strain SJ300024 than the commercially available fungicide hymexazol (45.1%) at the same concentration. The MTT assays proved that Epichlicin was non-cytotoxic, besides it also had good free radical scavenging ability and total reducing ability. CONCLUSIONS Epichlicin isolated from strain SJ100001 can effectively control F. oxysporum SJ300024 screened from the root-soil of cucumber wilt. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Epichlicin may be used as an environmentally friendly and efficient biocontrol agent for controlling Fusarium wilt of cucumber and reducing crop losses. More importantly, the non-cytotoxicity of Epichlicin can avoid harm to consumers. Additionally, Epichlicin has broad application prospects in medicine due to its antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Surfactins are natural biosurfactants with myriad potential applications in the areas of healthcare and environment. However, surfactins were almost exclusively produced by the bacterium Bacillus species in previous reported literatures, together with difficulty in isolating pure monomer, which resulted in making extensive effort to remove duplication and little discovery of new surfactins in recent years. In the present study, the result of Molecular Networking indicated that Limimaricola sp. SCSIO 53532 might well be a potential resource for surfacin-like compounds based on OSMAC strategy. To search for new surfactins with significant biological activity, further study was undertaken on the strain. As a result, ten new surfactins (1-10), along with twenty known surfactins (11-30), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of SCSIO 53532. Their chemical structures were established by detailed 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, HRESIMS data, secondary ion mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis, and chemical degradation (Marfey's method) analysis. Cytotoxic activities of twenty-seven compounds against five human tumor cell lines were tested, and five compounds showed significant antitumor activities with IC50 values less than 10 μM. Furtherly, analysis of structure-activity relationships revealed that the branch of side chain, the esterification of Glu or Asp residue, and the amino acid residue of position 7 possessed a great influence on antitumor activity.

Endophytic bacteria from strawberry plants control gray mold in fruits via production of antifungal compounds against Botrytis cinerea L. Microbiol Res 2021; 251:126793. [PMID: 34325193 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2021.126793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Botrytis cinerea causes the gray mold disease in a wide range of plant hosts, especially in post-harvest periods. The control of this phytopathogen has been accomplished through the application of fungicides. However, this practice can cause environmental problems and increase fruit production costs. In addition, this fungus species has developed resistance to conventional synthetic fungicides. In this context, plant growth-promoting bacteria have shown potential for application in agricultural production because they are able to stimulate plant growth through different mechanisms, including the biological control of phytopathogens (indirect growth promotion mechanism). The aim of this work was to evaluate in vitro and in fruits the potential for indirect plant growth-promotion of bacteria isolated from strawberry leaves and roots. Dual plate method and inverted plate method were used to verify the ability of controlling in vitro the growth of Botrytis cinerea via the production of diffusible and volatile antifungal compounds, respectively. The effect of six bacterial isolates that showed greater potential for biological control in vitro was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Antifungal compounds produced by these bacterial isolates were identified by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Six bacterial strains were tested on strawberry pseudofruits. Five selected strains belong to the genus Bacillus and one to the genus Pantoea sp. Selected strains were able to inhibit more than 80 % of the mycelial growth of B. cinerea by the production of diffusible compounds and 90 % by volatile antifungal compounds production. Scanning electron microscopy showed the intense degradation of fungal hyphae caused by the presence of all bacterial strains. Bioactive compounds (salycilamide, maculosin, herniarin, lauroyl diethanolamide, baptifoline, undecanedioic acid, botrydial, 8 3-butylidene-7-hydroxyphthalide and N-(3-oxo-henoyl)-homoserine lactone) were obtained from liquid culture of these strains and extraction with ethyl acetate. All six isolates tested in vivo reduced the incidence of gray mold in strawberry pseudofruits in postharvest. It is concluded that isolates 26, 29, 65, 69, 132 (Bacillus sp.) and MQT16M1 (Pantoea sp.) have potential application for the biological control of Botrytis cinerea in strawberry via the production of diffusible and volatile antifungal compounds.

Abstract
Surfactin is a lipoheptapeptide produced by several Bacillus species and identified for the first time in 1969. At first, the biosynthesis of this remarkable biosurfactant was described in this review. The peptide moiety of the surfactin is synthesized using huge multienzymatic proteins called NonRibosomal Peptide Synthetases. This mechanism is responsible for the peptide biodiversity of the members of the surfactin family. In addition, on the fatty acid side, fifteen different isoforms (from C12 to C17) can be incorporated so increasing the number of the surfactin-like biomolecules. The review also highlights the last development in metabolic modeling and engineering and in synthetic biology to direct surfactin biosynthesis but also to generate novel derivatives. This large set of different biomolecules leads to a broad spectrum of physico-chemical properties and biological activities. The last parts of the review summarized the numerous studies related to the production processes optimization as well as the approaches developed to increase the surfactin productivity of Bacillus cells taking into account the different steps of its biosynthesis from gene transcription to surfactin degradation in the culture medium.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2020; 169:104669.

Abstract
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is an important pathogen in rice. C15surfactin A, produced by Bacillus velezensis HN-2, displayed antibacterial activity against Xoo and effectively inhibited its infection of rice. The median inhibitory concentration of C15surfactin A was 9.27 μg/mL. Scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy examination showed that C15surfactin A caused significant damage to the cell wall structure of Xoo cells. On the other hand, dramatic increases in the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (Pal) and H2O2 content were observed in rice leaves inoculated with Xoo from 0 h to 72 h. Quantitative PCR assays indicated that C15surfactin A exposure upregulated the expression of the genes Pr1a, CatA, and Pal. The results showed that C15surfactin A could inhibit the growth of Xoo and effectively induce rice resistance to Xoo by triggering a hypersensitive reaction (HR) via mediation of the activities of antioxidant-related enzymes. Taken together, C15surfactin A has strong antibiotic activity against Xoo and effectively induces rice resistance to Xoo. These results highlight the potential of C15surfactin A as a biocontrol agent against Xoo in rice.

Abstract
Surfactin, as one of the most powerful biosurfactants, can be widely applied in agriculture, food, and pharmaceutics. However, low biosynthesis efficiency is the major obstacle in its commercialization. Here, we used nanoparticles to increase the surfactin production in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MT45 through enhancing the secretion (the key step of surfactin biosynthesis). The results showed that the surfactin titer increased from 4.93 to 7.15 g/L in the flask and from 5.94 to 9.18 g/L in a 7 L bioreactor by adding 5 g/L Fe nanoparticles. They were the highest titers in the reported wild-type strain. Our results indicated that Fe nanoparticles enhanced the expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of surfactin. Moreover, Fe nanoparticles increased the permeability of cell membranes, resulting in a more efficient secretion of surfactin. This study provides an efficient strategy for increasing the biosynthesis of microbial metabolites and provides new insights into the nanoparticles' impacts on microbes.

Bacillomycin D effectively controls growth of Malassezia globosa by disrupting the cell membrane. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:3529-3540. [PMID: 32103313 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10462-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2019] [Revised: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Malassezia globosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes various skin disorders, which disturbs people's life all the time, and conventional drugs are not completely satisfactory. Bacillomycin D (BD), an antifungal lipopeptide, could inhibit various fungi growth. However, the reports about its effect on M. globosa were not found yet. In this study, we showed that BD and BD-C16 (fatty acid chain had sixteen carbon atoms) completely inhibited growth of M. globosa at concentration of 64 μg/ml in 15 h, which was confirmed with the observation of irregular morphological change of M. globosa treated with BD. Significantly, the study on the working mechanism showed that BD induced cell death by changing cell membrane permeability and thus promoting the release of cellular contents, which may be mediated by the interaction between BD and ergosterol from membrane. Further study showed that BD reduced the overall content of cellular sterol, and interestingly, the expression of some genes involved in membrane and ergosterol synthesis were significantly upregulated, which was likely to be a feedback regulation. Besides, we found that BD had additive and synergistic effects with ketoconazole and amphotericin B, respectively, on inhibition of M. globosa, suggesting that combination use of BD with other commercial drugs could be a promising strategy to relieve skin disorders caused by M. globosa. KEY POINTS: • BD could efficiently inhibit the growth of M. globosa. • BD increases cell membrane permeability and thus promotes the release of cellular contents. • BD has additive or synergistic effect with other antifungal drugs.

Abstract
Anthracnose is a leaf spot, blossom blight, or fruit rot disease caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.). It is the most prevalent disease in mango-growing countries worldwide. Lipopeptides, such as those in the iturin family, account for the majority of antifungal secondary metabolites in Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus velezensis, and includes bacillomycin D. Thus far, the mechanism of bacillomycin D's activity has not been clear. In this study, bacillomycin D was isolated from B. velezensis HN-2, which strongly inhibits C. gloeosporioides (Penz.). The median inhibitory concentration of bacillomycin D was 2.162 μg/mL, causing deformation and damage to C. gloeosporioides (Penz.). Bacillomycin D showed more potent activity against C. gloeosporioides (Penz.) than two common fungicides prochloraz and mancozeb. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealed that bacillomycin D could injure the cell wall and cell membrane of the hyphae and spores of C. gloeosporioides (Penz.), and the cytoplasm and organelles inside the cell were exuded and formed empty holes. This research clarifies the mechanism underlying bacillomycin D antifungal activity and reveals its high potential as a biopesticide to control phytopathogens.

Abstract
Endophytic bacteria are potential biocontrol agents for the control of fungal diseases. Here, an endophyte strain, B21, was isolated from Osmanthus fragrans Lour. fruits and identified as Bacillus safensis by analysis of its 16S rDNA gene sequence and its biochemical and physiological characteristics. The culture filtrate showed antifungal activity against Magnaporthe oryzae, which causes rice blast disease, and the IC50 of the methanol extract was 15.56 μg/mL, which was significantly lower than that of carbendazim (25.16 μg/mL). The antifungal activity of the methanol extract was stable at a wide range of pH values (1-9) and temperatures (40-100 °C). Two antifungal compounds were isolated by organic extraction, silica gel column chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Based on electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR) analyses, the structures of the antifungal compounds were identified as iturin A2 and iturin A6. Additionally, the hyphae treated with iturin (iturin A2 or iturin A6) could be stained with the fluorescent dye propidium iodide (PI), indicating that these two compounds inhibited the growth of hyphae by changing the hyphal membrane permeability. In field experiments, spray treatment with fermentation broth resulted in a lower disease index than treatment with carbendazim, as did the culture filtrate. The results suggest that strain B21 and its bioactive compounds have the potential to be developed into a biopesticide for the biocontrol of rice blast.

Pseudomonas sp. COW3 Produces New Bananamide-Type Cyclic Lipopeptides with Antimicrobial Activity against Pythium myriotylum and Pyricularia oryzae. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24224170. [PMID: 31744250 PMCID: PMC6891508 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24224170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Revised: 11/12/2019] [Accepted: 11/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Pseudomonas species are metabolically robust, with capacity to produce secondary metabolites including cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs). Herein we conducted a chemical analysis of a crude CLP extract from the cocoyam rhizosphere-derived biocontrol strain Pseudomonas sp. COW3. We performed in silico analyses on its whole genome, and conducted in vitro antagonistic assay using the strain and purified CLPs. Via LC-MS and NMR, we elucidated the structures of four novel members of the bananamide group, named bananamides D-G. Besides variability in fatty acid length, bananamides D-G differ from previously described bananamides A-C and MD-0066 by the presence of a serine and aspartic acid at position 6 and 2, respectively. In addition, bananamide G has valine instead of isoleucine at position 8. Kendrick mass defect (KMD) allowed the assignment of molecular formulae to bananamides D and E. We unraveled a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase cluster banA, banB and banC which encodes the novel bananamide derivatives. Furthermore, COW3 displayed antagonistic activity and mycophagy against Pythium myriotylum, while it mainly showed mycophagy on Pyricularia oryzae. Purified bananamides D-G inhibited the growth of P. myriotylum and P. oryzae and caused hyphal distortion. Our study shows the complementarity of chemical analyses and genome mining in the discovery and elucidation of novel CLPs. In addition, structurally diverse bananamides differ in their antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea can be a severe disease of tomato infecting leaves and fruits of tomato plants. Chemical control is currently the most effective and reliable method; however, application of fungicides has many drawbacks. The combination of biological control agents with newly developed fungicides may be a practicable method to control B. cinerea. Fluopimomide is a newly developed fungicide with a novel mode of action. Bacillus methylotrophicus TA-1, isolated from rhizosphere soil of tomato, is a bacterial strain with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities. Little information is currently available about the effect of fluopimomide and its integrated effect on B. cinerea. Therefore, laboratory, pot, and field experiments were carried out to determine the effects of fluopimomide alone and in combination with B. methylotrophicus TA-1 against gray mold on tomato. The in vitro growth of B. methylotrophicus TA-1 was unaffected by 100 mg liter-1 fluopimomide. Inhibition of B. cinerea mycelial growth was significantly increased under combined treatment of fluopimomide and B. methylotrophicus TA-1. In greenhouse experiments, efficacy against gray mold was significantly greater by an integration of fluopimomide and B. methylotrophicus TA-1 than by either alone; control efficacy of fluopimomide at 50 and 100 g ha-1 in combination with B. methylotrophicus TA-1 at 108 colony-forming units (cfu) ml-1 reached 70.16 and 69.32%, respectively, compared with the untreated control. In both field trials during 2017 and 2018, control efficacy was significantly higher for the combination of fluopimomide at 50 and 100 g ha-1 in combination with B. methylotrophicus TA-1 than for either treatment alone. The results from this study indicated that integration of the new fungicide fluopimomide with the biocontrol agent B. methylotrophicus TA-1 synergistically increased control efficacy of the fungicide against gray mold of tomato.

Abstract
In this research, the antimicrobial substance anti-JFL15 was partially purified using a simple two-step extraction process from the cell-free supernatants of Bacillus siamensis JFL15. Anti-JFL15 exhibited a strong antibacterial activity against various multidrug-resistant aquatic bacterial pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Edwardsiella tarda, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that anti-JFL15 contained eight cyclic lipopeptides belonging to two families: bacillomycin F (m/z 1056.56-1084.59) and surfactin (m/z 1007.65-1049.70) analogs. PCR analysis showed the presence of genes (i.e., sfp gene, surfactin synthetase D, fengycin synthetase B, iturin synthetase A, iturin synthetase C and bacillomycin synthetase D) involved in the biosynthesis of cyclic lipopeptides. This study is the first to identify cyclic lipopeptides from B. siamensis and use them to suppress the growth of various multidrug-resistant aquatic bacterial pathogens. Results indicated that B. siamensis JFL15 is a promising biocontrol agent for the effective and environmentally friendly control of various multidrug-resistant aquatic bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
This work aims to explore the capacity of a Bacillus methylotrophicus (later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus velezensis) strain named XT1 CECT 8661 against the necrotrophic plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea and to identify the compounds responsible for its activity. Q_TOF electrospray mass spectrometry analysis allows us to detect several lipopeptides – surfactin, bacillomycin, and fengycin – in XT1 cultures. In vitro antibiosis studies demonstrated the efficiency of the lipopeptide fraction for the inhibition of fungal growth. In fact, microscopy studies (SEM/TEM) revealed, an alteration of the morphology of the phytopathogen in interaction with lipopeptides, with resistance structures appearing in the early stages of growth of the fungus. Our studies, carried out with tomatoes, grapes, and strawberries have demonstrated the efficiency of Bacillus XT1 CECT 8661 lipopeptides against B. cinerea infection and it capability to trigger the antioxidant activity in fruit. Overall, the results of this study highlight the potential of lipopeptides of this strain as an effective biological control agent against the colonisation of B. cinerea.

Abstract
Bacillus is the most widely studied biocontrol agent and has been extensively used in the development of biopesticides and fungicides. In this study, a new cyclic lipopeptide was isolated from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens HAB-2 by column chromatography on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20, and its structures was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. This compound is a bacillomycin d-like compound, named as bacillomycin DC. The activity of bacillomycin DC was evaluated against C. gloeosporioides Penz. The median inhibitory concentration of bacillomycin DC was 1.21μg/mL. In addition, bacillomycin DC may have low toxicity to aquatic species as indicated by its 96h half maximum lethal concentration of 22.20μg/mL to zebrafish (Danio rerio). Our current study further provides evidence that bacillomycin DC is a potent fungicide against C. gloeosporioides Penz.

Evaluation of Antifungal Efficacy of Three New Cyclic Lipopeptides of the Class Bacillomycin from Bacillus subtilis RLID 12.1. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 62:AAC.01457-17. [PMID: 29038271 DOI: 10.1128/aac.01457-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2017] [Accepted: 10/05/2017] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
New lipopeptide homologues (AF3, AF4, and AF5) with antifungal activities against Candida and Cryptococcus spp. were purified from a cell-free supernatant of Bacillus subtilis RLID 12.1. The lipopeptides AF3, AF4, and AF5 were identified with the same peptide sequence Asn-Pro-Tyr-Asn-Gln-Thr-Ser with variations in the fatty acid branching type and chain length (anteiso-C17, iso-C17, and iso-C18, respectively). Upon comparing the three homologues for MICs against 81 Candida (n = 64) and Cryptococcus (n = 17) clinical isolates and their cytotoxicities, we found that AF4 was the most promising antifungal lipopeptide, since it demonstrated 100% inhibition at geometric mean MICs of 3.31, 3.41, 3.48, and 2.83 μg/ml against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida auris, and Cryptococcus neoformans, respectively, with low hemolysis values (<6%) and 50% inhibitory concentrations (13.31 μg/ml). The additive effects among the homologues AF3, AF4, and AF5 were evaluated against three Candida species, along with the cytotoxicity studies. Five combinations exhibited good additive interaction effects: AF3/AF4 (at corresponding concentrations of 4 and 4 μg/ml [4/4 μg/ml]), AF3/AF5 (4/4 μg/ml), AF3/AF5 (2/4 μg/ml), AF4/AF5 (4/4 μg/ml), and AF4/AF5 (2/4 μg/ml) in planktonic cell inhibition and AF3/AF4 (4/4 μg/ml), AF3/AF5 (4/4 μg/ml), and AF3/AF5 (2/4 μg/ml) in the inhibition of biofilm formation. However, combinations AF3/AF4 and AF3/AF5, which showed >70% cell survival with low hemolysis (<5%), were found to be comparatively effective. We describe here the additive effects of lipopeptide homologues showing reduced cytotoxicity against mammalian cells; these combinations might serve as a potent antibiofilm-forming substitute.

PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2017; 73:2419-2428.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Powdery mildew disease of cucurbits is caused mainly by Podosphaera fusca, which is one of the most important limiting factors in cucurbit production worldwide. Previously we reported that Bacillus amyloliquefaciens biocontrol strain SD-32 produces C17 bacillomycin D and [Ile 2002]surfactin, and that these metabolites play important roles in SD-32's biocontrol over cucumber gray mold disease. Our further investigation demonstrated that the culture broth and its supernatant suppressed cucumber powdery mildew disease in greenhouse experiments. However, the active principle(s) remained unknown. RESULTS The active compound was isolated from the culture supernatant after anti-powdery mildew disease activity-guided purification and identified as prumycin. Prumycin significantly suppressed the disease, whereas bacillomycin D and [Ile 2002]surfactin did not. Prumycin did not induce the expression of plant defense genes (PR1a and VSP1), suggesting that it does not act via plant defense response. Light microscopic observations of prumycin-treated cucumber cotyledon suggested that prumycin inhibits the conidial germination of P. fusca. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that prumycin is a major factor in SD-32's suppression of cucumber powdery mildew disease. Our findings shed light for the first time on prumycin's role in biocontrol by Bacillus against this disease. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Frikha-Gargouri O, Ben Abdallah D, Bhar I, Tounsi S. Antibiosis and bmyB Gene Presence As Prevalent Traits for the Selection of Efficient Bacillus Biocontrol Agents against Crown Gall Disease. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2017; 8:1363. [PMID: 28855909 PMCID: PMC5558093 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2017.01363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2017] [Accepted: 07/21/2017] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to improve the screening method for the selection of Bacillus biocontrol agents against crown gall disease. The relationship between the strain biocontrol ability and their in vitro studied traits was investigated to identify the most important factors to be considered for the selection of effective biocontrol agents. In fact, previous selection procedure relying only on in vitro antibacterial activity was shown to be not suitable in some cases. A direct plant-protection strategy was performed to screen the 32 Bacillus biocontrol agent candidates. Moreover, potential in vitro biocontrol traits were investigated including biofilm formation, motility, hemolytic activity, detection of lipopeptide biosynthetic genes (sfp, ituC and bmyB) and production of antibacterial compounds. The obtained results indicated high correlations of the efficiency of the biocontrol with the reduction of gall weight (p = 0.000) and the antibacterial activity in vitro (p = 0.000). Moreover, there was strong correlations of the efficiency of the biocontrol (p = 0.004) and the reduction in gall weight (p = 0.000) with the presence of the bmyB gene. This gene directs the synthesis of the lipopeptide bacillomycin belonging to the iturinic family of lipopeptides. These results were also confirmed by the two-way hierarchical cluster analysis and the correspondence analysis showing the relatedness of these four variables. According to the obtained results a new screening procedure of Bacillus biocontrol agents against crown gall disease could be advanced consisting on two step selection procedure. The first consists on selecting strains with high antibacterial activity in vitro or those harbouring the bmyB gene. Further selection has to be performed on tomato plants in vivo. Moreover, based on the results of the biocontrol assay, five potent strains exhibiting high biocontrol abilities were selected. They were identified as Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. These strains were found to produce either surfactin or surfactin and iturin lipopeptides. In conclusion, our study presented a new and effective method to evaluate the biocontrol ability of antagonistic Bacillus strains against crown gall disease that could increase the efficiency of screening method of biocontrol agents. Besides, the selected strains could be used as novel biocontrol agents against pathogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains.

Lipopeptides from a novel Bacillus methylotrophicus 39b strain suppress Agrobacterium crown gall tumours on tomato plants. PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 2017; 73:568-574. [PMID: 27252109 DOI: 10.1002/ps.4331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2015] [Revised: 05/27/2016] [Accepted: 05/28/2016] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to characterise the antibacterial activity of a novel Bacillus methylotrophicus strain named 39b against tumourigenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 and B6 strains. It also aims to identify the compound that is responsible for its activity and to evaluate its efficiency to control crown gall disease in tomato plants. RESULTS B. methylotrophicus strain 39b was found to stop the growth of phytopathogenic A. tumefaciens strains in in vitro experiments. Lipopeptides - surfactins, iturins and fengycins - were detected under various isoforms by mass spectrometry analysis of the methanolic extract. The active principle acting against Agrobacterium strains was isolated from TLC plates and identified by mass spectrometry as surfactin. The strain was effective in reducing the weight and the number of galls induced by A. tumefaciens strains on tomato plants. Total inhibition of gall formation was observed using the antibacterial compounds. CONCLUSION B. methylotrophicus strain 39b exhibited antibacterial activity against phytopathogenic A. tumefaciens C58 and B6 both in vitro and in vivo. Lipopeptides are the main compounds that confer the biocontrol ability. This strain has the potential to be developed as a biological control agent for crown gall disease. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
