Abstract
There is an urgent need for new bioactive molecules with unique mechanisms of action and chemistry to address the issue of incorrect use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which hurts both the environment and the health of humans. In light of this, research was done for this work to isolate, identify, and evaluate the germination-promoting potential of various plant species' fungal endophytes. Zea mays L. (maize) seed germination was examined using spore suspension of 75 different endophytic strains that were identified. Three promising strains were identified through screening to possess the ability mentioned above. These strains Alternaria alternate, Aspergilus flavus, and Aspergillus terreus were isolated from the stem of Tecoma stans, Delonix regia, and Ricinus communis, respectively. The ability of the three endophytic fungal strains to produce siderophore and indole acetic acid (IAA) was also examined. Compared to both Aspergillus flavus as well as Aspergillus terreus, Alternaria alternata recorded the greatest rates of IAA, according to the data that was gathered. On CAS agar versus blue media, all three strains failed to produce siderophores. Moreover, the antioxidant and antifungal potentials of extracts from these fungi were tested against different plant pathogens. The obtained results indicated the antioxidant and antifungal activities of the three fungal strains. GC-Mass studies were carried out to determine the principal components in extracts of all three strains of fungi. The three strains' fungus extracts included both well-known and previously unidentified bioactive compounds. These results may aid in the development of novel plant growth promoters by suggesting three different fungal strains as sources of compounds that may improve seed germination. According to the study that has been given, as unexplored sources of bioactive compounds, fungal endophytes have great potential.

Abstract
Alternaria alternata is an opportunistic phytopathogen that negatively impact the growth and production of a wide variety of host plants. In this study, we evaluated the antifungal potential of biogenic ZnO, and bimetallic silver and zinc oxide (Ag/ZnO) nanoparticles synthesized using seed extract of Abrus precatorious and characterized using different analytical tools. In vitro antifungal potentials of ZnO and Ag/ZnO nanoparticles were carried out using the food poison technique. Morphological and ultrastructure of the A. alternata treated with the nanoparticles were carried out using high resolution scanning and transmission electron microscopy (HRSEM and HRTEM). In addition, changes in polysaccharide production, chitin content and enzymatic (cellulase and lipase) activities of A. alternata were assayed. Double peak signifying a UVmax of 353.88 and 417.25 nm representing Ag and ZnO respectively was formed in the bimetallic nanoparticles. HRSEM and HRTEM results shows agglomerated nanoparticles with particle and crystallite size of 23.94 and 16.84 nm for ZnO nanoparticles, 35.12 and 28.99 nm for Ag/ZnO nanoparticles respectively. In vitro antifungal assay shows a significant concentration-dependent inhibition (p < 0.05) of A. alternata mycelia with highest percentage inhibition of 73.93 % (ZnO nanoparticles) and 68.26 % (Ag/ZnO nanoparticles) at 200 ppm. HRSEM and HRTEM micrographs of the treated A. alternata mycelia shows alteration of the cellular structure, clearance of the cytoplasmic organelles and localization of the nanoparticles within the cell. A. alternata treated with 200 ppm nanoparticles show a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in the polysaccharides and chitin contents, cellulase and lipase activities. The results suggests that ZnO and Ag/ZnO nanoparticles mode of action may be via alteration of the fungal cell wall through the inhibition of polysaccharides, chitin, cellulases and lipases synthesis. ZnO and Ag/ZnO nanoparticles may be a promising tool for the management and control of disease causing fungal phytopathogens.

Abstract
Streptomyces is a Gram-positive bacterium, belonging to the family Streptomycetaceae and order Streptomycetales. Several strains from different species of Streptomyces can be used to promote the health and growth of artificially cultured fish and shellfish by producing secondary metabolites including antibiotics, anticancer agents, antiparasitic agents, antifungal agents, and enzymes (protease and amylase). Some Streptomyces strains also exhibit antagonistic and antimicrobial activity against aquaculture-based pathogens by producing inhibitory compounds such as bacteriocins, siderophores, hydrogen peroxide, and organic acids to compete for nutrients and attachment sites in the host. The administration of Streptomyces in aquaculture could also induce an immune response, disease resistance, quorum sensing/antibiofilm activity, antiviral activity, competitive exclusion, modification in gastrointestinal microflora, growth enhancement, and water quality amelioration via nitrogen fixation and degradation of organic residues from the culture system. This review provides the current status and prospects of Streptomyces as potential probiotics in aquaculture, their selection criteria, administrative methods, and mechanisms of action. The limitations of Streptomyces as probiotics in aquaculture are highlighted and the solutions to these limitations are also discussed.

Abstract
One of the most prevalent infectious diseases and a key driver of antibiotic prescriptions in pediatrics is urinary tract infection (UTI). Due to the emergence of more resistant uropathogenic bacterial and fungal strains, current treatments are no longer effective, necessitating the urgent development of novel antibacterial and antifungal drugs. In this study, the antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-biofilm capabilities of compounds, such as tannase (TN) and gallic acid (GA), which were produced from a novel natural source, Acinetobacter baumannii (AB11) bacteria, were assessed for the inactivation of uropathogenic microorganisms (UMs). Ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion exchange, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gel filtration were used to purify TN and GA that were isolated from A. baumannii. A 43.08 % pure TN with 1221.2 U/mg specific activity and 10.51 mg/mL GA was obtained. The antibacterial, antifungal and anti-biofilm activities of TN and GA were evaluated against UMs and compared to those of commercially available antibiotics including sulfamethoxazole (SXT), levofloxacin (LEV), ciprofloxacin (CIP), amikacin (Ak), and nitrofurantoin (F). The results showed that TN and GA were superior to commercial antibiotics in their ability to inactivate UMs and considerably reduced biofilms formation. Additionally, the GA emerges as the top substitute for currently available medications, demonstrating superior antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against all UMs evaluated in this study. The results of this investigation showed that A. baumannii-derived TN and GA could be utilized as an alternative medication to treat UTIs.

Abstract
Pseudomonas spp. produce various antimicrobial substances, including cyclic peptides, which have been shown to suppress fungal pathogens. In a previous study, Pseudomonas sesami BC42 was selected to control anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare in cucumber plants, and the bioactive extract of strain BC42 inhibited fungal growth and development. In this work, preparative thin-layer chromatography was conducted to identify the antifungal compounds in the extract of strain BC42, and the portion of the extract that exhibited antifungal activity was further analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Three different isomers of the cyclic dipeptide, cyclo(Leu-Pro), were identified: cyclo(l-Leu-l-Pro), cyclo(d-Leu-d-Pro), and cyclo(d-Leu-l-Pro). Among these, 100 μg/mL of cyclo(l-Leu-l-Pro) significantly and more effectively inhibited the germination of conidia and appressorium formation and reduced leaf lesion size caused by C. orbiculare, relative to the control; cyclo(d-Leu-d-Pro) significantly reduced conidia germination and lesion occurrence, however, cyclo(d-Leu-l-Pro) did not exhibit antifungal activity. Therefore, the cyclo(l-Leu-l-Pro) and cyclo(d-Leu-d-Pro) derived from P. sesami BC42 may be a promising candidate for biocontrol applications in agriculture.

Abstract
Natural products produced by microorganisms are considered an important resource of bioactive secondary metabolites, such as anticancer, antifungal, antibiotic, and immunosuppressive molecules. Streptomyces are the richest source of bioactive natural products via possessing a wide number of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (SM-BGCs). Based on rapid development in sequencing technologies with advances in genome mining, exploring the newly isolated Streptomyces species for possible new secondary metabolites is mandatory to find novel natural products. The isolated Streptomyces thinghirensis strain HM3 from arid and sandy texture soil in Qassim, SA, exerted inhibition activity against tested animal pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria and pathogenic fungal species. In this study, we report the draft genome of S. thinghirensis strain HM3, which consists of 7,139,324 base pairs (bp), with an average G+C content of 71.49%, predicting 7949 open reading frames, 12 rRNA operons (5S, 16S, 23S) and 60 tRNAs. An in silico analysis of strain HM3 genome by the antiSMASH and PRISM 4 online software for SM-BGCs predicted 16 clusters, including four terpene, one lantipeptide, one siderophore, two polyketide synthase (PKS), two non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) cluster)/NRPS-like fragment, two RiPP/RiPP-like (ribosomally synthesised and post-translationally modified peptide product), two butyrolactone, one CDPS (tRNA-dependent cyclodipeptide synthases), and one other (cluster containing a secondary metabolite-related protein that does not fit into any other category) BGC. The presented BGCs inside the genome, along with antibacterial and antifungal activity, indicate that HM3 may represent an invaluable source for new secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Sorghum is a major grain crop used in traditional meals and health drinks, and as an efficient fuel. However, its productivity, value, germination, and usability are affected by grain mold, which is a severe problem in sorghum production systems, which reduces the yield of harvested grains for consumer use. The organic approach to the management of the disease is essential and will increase consumer demand. Bioactive molecules like mVOC (volatile organic compound) identification are used to unravel the molecules responsible for antifungal activity. The Streptomyces rochei strain (ASH) has been reported to be a potential antagonist to many pathogens, with high levels of VOCs. The present study aimed to study the inhibitory effect of S. rochei on sorghum grain mold pathogens using a dual culture technique and via the production of microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). mVOCs inhibited the mycelial growth of Fusarium moniliforme by 63.75 and Curvularia lunata by 68.52%. mVOCs suppressed mycelial growth and inhibited the production of spores by altering the structure of mycelia in tripartite plate assay. About 45 mVOCs were profiled when Streptomyces rochei interacted with these two pathogens. In the present study, several compounds were upregulated or downregulated by S. rochei, including 2-methyl-1-butanol, methanoazulene, and cedrene. S. rochei emitted novel terpenoid compounds with peak areas, such as myrcene (1.14%), cymene (6.41%), and ç-terpinene (7.32%) upon interaction with F. moniliforme and C. lunata. The peak area of some of the compounds, including furan 2-methyl (0.70%), benzene (1.84%), 1-butanol, 2-methyl-(8.25%), and myrcene (1.12)%, was increased during tripartite interaction with F. moniliforme and C. lunata, which resulted in furan 2-methyl (6.60%), benzene (4.43%), butanol, 2-methyl (18.67%), and myrcene (1.14%). These metabolites were implicated in the sesquiterpenoid and alkane biosynthetic pathways and the oxalic acid degradation pathway. The present study shows how S. rochei exhibits hyperparasitism, competition, and antibiosis via mVOCs. In addition to their antimicrobial functions, these metabolites could also enhance plant growth.

Abstract
Due to the excessive use of antifungal agents, drug resistance and ecological problems are increasing. Some antifungal agents are difficult to degrade and have high toxicity and several side effects. In this study, 15 novel tetrahydrogeranyl quaternary ammonium salts (8a–8o) were synthesized from the natural compound citral. The structures of the quaternary ammonium salts were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, and the antifungal activities of these compounds at a concentration of 0.25 mg/mL against 10 plant pathogenic fungi were tested. The results showed that compound 8i had the best antifungal activity, and its inhibition rates against Rhizoctonia solani, Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae, Sphaeropsis sapinea, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, and Poria vaporaria reached 100%. For Fusarium verticillioides, the inhibition rate of compound 8i was 93.28%, which was higher than that of chlorothalonil. In addition, it was found that the inhibition rates of compounds with N,N-di- n-propyl group (8l, 8m) against R solani, F oxysporum f. sp. niveum, S sapinea, P parasitica var. nicotianae, F verticillioides, Colletotrichum acutatum, and Coriolus versicolor were higher than compounds with N,N-diethyl and N,N-dimethyl groups (8a, 8b, 8j, 8k). The inhibition rates of compounds with morpholine groups (8n, 8o) were generally low.

In the present study, antifungal activity of twenty different actinomycetes was evaluated via dual culture plate assay against six different phytopathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Sarocladium oryzae, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Rhizoctonia solani. Two potential isolates, Streptomyces amritsarensis V31 and Kribella karoonensis MSCA185 showing high antifungal activity against all six fungal pathogens, were further evaluated after extraction of bioactive metabolites in different solvents. Metabolite extracted from S. amritsarensis V31 in different solvents inhibited Rhizoctonia solani (7.5-65%), Alternaria alternata (5.5-52.7%), Aspergillus flavus (8-30.7%), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (25-44%), Sarocladium oryzae (11-55.5%), and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (29.7-40.5%); 1000 D diluted methanolic extract of S. amritsarensis V31 showed growth inhibition against R. solani (23.3%), A. flavus (7.7%), F. oxysporum (22.2%), S. oryzae (16.7%), and S. sclerotiorum (19.0%). Metabolite extracts of S. amritsarensis V31 significantly reduced the incidence of rice sheath blight both as preventive and curative sprays. Chemical profiling of the metabolites in DMSO extract of S. amritsarensis V31 revealed 6-amino-5-nitrosopyrimidine-2,4-diol as the predominant compound present. It was evident from the LC-MS analyses that S. amritsarensis V31 produced a mixture of potential antifungal compounds which inhibited the growth of different phytopathogenic fungi. The results of this study indicated that metabolite extracts of S. amritsarensis V31 can be exploited as a bio-fungicide to control phytopathogenic fungi.

Abstract
Biotic stress caused by pathogenic microorganisms leads to damage in crops. Tomato and carrot are among the most important vegetables cultivated worldwide. These plants are attacked by several pathogens, affecting their growth and productivity. Fourteen plant growth-promoting actinomycetes (PGPA) were screened for their in vitro biocontrol activity against Solanum lycopersicum and Daucus carota microbial phytopathogens. Their antifungal activity was evaluated against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (FORL) and Rhizoctonia solani (RHS). Antibacterial activity was evaluated against Pseudomonas syringae, Pseudomonas corrugata, Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, and Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. Strains that showed good in vitro results were further investigated in vitro (cell-free supernatants activity, scanning electron microscope observations of fungal inhibition). The consortium of the most active PGPA was then utilized as biocontrol agents in planta experiments on S. lycopersicum and D. carota. The Streptomyces albidoflavus H12 and Nocardiopsis aegyptica H14 strains showed the best in vitro biocontrol activities. The diffusible and volatile compounds and cell-free supernatants of these strains showed both antifungal (in vitro inhibition up to 85%, hyphal desegregation and fungicidal properties) and antibacterial activity (in vitro inhibition >25 mm and bactericidal properties). Their consortium was also able to counteract the infection symptoms of microbial phytopathogens during in planta experiments, improving plant status. The results obtained highlight the efficacy of the selected actinomycetes strains as biocontrol agents of S. lycopersicum and D. carota.

Abstract
Ambrosia beetles and their symbiotic fungi are causing severe damage in natural and agro-ecosystems worldwide, threatening the productivity of several important tree crops such as avocado. Strategies aiming at mitigating their impact include the application of broad-spectrum agrochemicals and the incineration of diseased trees, but the increasing demand for environment-friendly strategies call for exploring biological control for the management of ambrosia beetles and their phytopathogenic fungal symbionts. The aim of this review is to examine the existing knowledge on biocontrol approaches using beneficial microorganisms and microbial natural products with entomopathogenic and antifungal activity against ambrosia beetles and fungi. We show that biocontrol has been mainly focused on the insect, using entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) such as Beauveria spp. or Metarhizium spp. However, recent studies have been integrating EPF with mycoparasitic fungi such as Trichoderma spp. to simultaneously challenge the vector and its fungal symbionts. Novel approaches also include the use of microbial natural products as insect lures or antifungal agents. Contrastingly, the potential of bacteria, including actinobacteria (actinomycetes), as biocontrol agents of ambrosia fungi has been little investigated. We thus suggest that future research should further examine the antifungal activity of bacterial strains, with an emphasis on harsh environments. We also suggest pursuing the isolation of more effective microbial strains with dual biocontrol effect, i.e., exhibiting fungicidal/insecticidal activities. Moreover, additional efforts should aim at determining the best application methods of biocontrol agents in the field to ensure that the positive effects detected in vitro are sustained. Finally, we propose the integration of microbiome studies in pest and disease management strategies as they could provide us with tools to steer the beneficial host plant microbiome and to manipulate the beetle microbiome in order to reduce insect fitness.

Deciphering the antagonistic effect of Streptomyces spp. and host-plant resistance induction against charcoal rot of sorghum. PLANTA 2021; 253:57.

Abstract
The findings of this study suggest that the selected five strains of Streptomyces spp. could be used for biological control of charcoal rot disease in sorghum. Two strains each of Streptomyces albus (CAI-17 and KAI-27) and Streptomyces griseus (KAI-26 and MMA-32) and one strain of Streptomyces cavourensis (SAI-13) previously reported to have plant growth-promotion activity in chickpea, rice and sorghum were evaluated for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina, which causes charcoal rot in sorghum. The antagonistic potential of these strains against M. phaseolina was assessed through dual culture assay, metabolite production assay, blotter paper assay in greenhouse and field disease screens. In both dual culture and metabolite production assays, the selected strains significantly inhibited the growth of M. phaseolina (63-74%). In the blotter paper assay, all the five strains of Streptomyces spp. inhibited the pathogen (80-90%). When these five strains were tested for their antagonistic potential under the greenhouse (two times) and field (two seasons) conditions by toothpick method of inoculation, significant differences were observed for charcoal rot severity. Principal component analysis capturing 91.3% phenotypic variations, revealed that the shoot samples treated with both Streptomyces and the pathogen exhibited significantly enhanced antioxidant parameters including superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, glutathione reductase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, polyphenol oxidase, and total phenolic contents when compared to shoot samples treated with only M. phaseolina. Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that the phloem and xylem tissues of the Streptomyces treated stem samples were intact compared to that of pathogen inoculated plants. This study indicated that the selected strains of Streptomyces spp. have the potential for biological control of charcoal rot disease in sorghum.

Abstract
Streptomycesalbus strain CAI-21 has been previously reported to have plant growth-promotion abilities in chickpea, pigeonpea, rice, and sorghum. The strain CAI-21 and its secondary metabolite were evaluated for their biocontrol potential against charcoal rot disease in sorghum caused by Macrophomina phaseolina. Results exhibited that CAI-21 significantly inhibited the growth of the pathogen, M. phaseolina, in dual-culture (15 mm; zone of inhibition), metabolite production (74% inhibition), and blotter paper (90% inhibition) assays. When CAI-21 was tested for its biocontrol potential under greenhouse and field conditions following inoculation of M. phaseolina by toothpick method, it significantly reduced the number of internodes infected (75% and 45% less, respectively) and length of infection (75% and 51% less, respectively) over the positive control (only M. phaseolina inoculated) plants. Under greenhouse conditions, scanning electron microscopic analysis showed that the phloem and xylem tissues of the CAI-21-treated shoot samples were intact compared to those of the diseased stem samples. The culture filtrate of the CAI-21 was purified by various chromatographic techniques, and the active compound was identified as “organophosphate” by NMR and MS. The efficacy of organophosphate was found to inhibit the growth of M. phaseolina in the poisoned food technique. This study indicates that S.albus CAI-21 and its active metabolite organophosphate have the potential to control charcoal rot in sorghum.
