Phytochemical and biological assessment of secondary metabolites isolated from a rhizosphere strain, Sphingomonas sanguinis DM of Datura metel. BMC Complement Med Ther 2024; 24:205. [PMID: 38796482 PMCID: PMC11128111 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-024-04482-6] [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: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The plant roots excrete a large number of organic compounds into the soil. The rhizosphere, a thin soil zone around the roots, is a hotspot for microbial activity, making it a crucial component of the soil ecosystem. Secondary metabolites produced by rhizospheric Sphingomonas sanguinis DM have sparked significant curiosity in investigating their possible biological impacts. METHODS A bacterial strain has been isolated from the rhizosphere of Datura metel. The bacterium's identification, fermentation, and working up have been outlined. The ethyl acetate fraction of the propagated culture media of Sphingomonas sanguinis DM was fractioned and purified using various chromatographic techniques. The characterization of the isolated compounds was accomplished through the utilization of various spectroscopic techniques, such as UV, MS, 1D, and 2D-NMR. Furthermore, the evaluation of their antimicrobial activity was conducted using the agar well diffusion method, while cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTT test. RESULTS The extract from Sphingomonas sanguinis DM provided two distinct compounds: n-dibutyl phthalic acid (1) and Bis (2-methyl heptyl) phthalate (2) within its ethyl acetate fraction. Furthermore, the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Sphingomonas sanguinis DM has been registered under the NCBI GenBank database with the accession number PP422198. The bacterial extract exhibited its effect against gram-positive bacteria, inhibiting Streptococcus mutans (12.6 ± 0.6 mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (10.6 ± 0.6 mm) compared to standard antibiotics. Conversely, compound 1 showed a considerable effect against phytopathogenic fungi such as Alternaria alternate (56.3 ± 10.6 mm) and Fusarium oxysporum (21.3 ± 1.5 mm) with a MIC value of 17.5 µg/mL. However, it was slightly active against Klebsiella pneumonia (11.0 ± 1.0 mm). Furthermore, compound 2 was the most active metabolite, having a significant antimicrobial efficacy against Rhizoctonia solani (63.6 ± 1.1 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.7 ± 0.6 mm), and Alternaria alternate (20.3 ± 0.6 mm) with MIC value at 15 µg/mL. In addition, compound 2 exhibited the most potency against hepatocellular (HepG-2) and skin (A-431) carcinoma cell lines with IC50 values of 107.16 µg/mL and 111.36 µg/mL, respectively. CONCLUSION Sphingomonas sanguinis DM, a rhizosphere bacterium of Datura metel, was studied for its phytochemical and biological characteristics, resulting in the identification of two compounds with moderate antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.

Abstract
The phyllosphere, or plant leaf surface, represents a microbial ecosystem of considerable size, holding extraordinary biodiversity and enormous potential for the discovery of new products, tools, and applications in biotechnology, agriculture, medicine, and elsewhere. This mini-review highlights the applied microbiology of the phyllosphere as an original field of study concerning itself with the genes, gene products, natural compounds, and traits that underlie phyllosphere-specific adaptations and services that have commercial and economic value for current or future innovation. Examples include plant-growth-promoting and disease-suppressive phyllobacteria, probiotics and fermented foods that support human health, as well as microbials that remedy foliar contamination with airborne pollutants, residual pesticides, or plastics. Phyllosphere microbes promote plant biomass conversion into compost, renewable energy, animal feed, or fiber. They produce foodstuffs such as thickening agents and sugar substitutes, industrial-grade biosurfactants, novel antibiotics and cancer drugs, as well as enzymes used as food additives or freezing agents. Furthermore, new developments in DNA sequence-based profiling of leaf-associated microbial communities allow for surveillance approaches in the context of food safety and security, for example, to detect enteric human pathogens on leafy greens, predict plant disease outbreaks, and intercept plant pathogens and pests on internationally traded goods. KEY POINTS: • Applied phyllosphere microbiology concerns leaf-specific adaptations for economic value • Phyllobioprospecting searches the phyllosphere microbiome for product development • Phyllobiomonitoring tracks phyllosphere microbial profiles for early risk detection.

Abstract
Strain LMG 31809 T was isolated from a top soil sample of a temperate, mixed deciduous forest in Belgium. Comparison of its 16S rRNA gene sequence with that of type strains of bacteria with validly published names positioned it in the class Alphaproteobacteria and highlighted a major evolutionary divergence from its near neighbor species which represented species of the orders Emcibacterales and Sphingomonadales. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of the same soil sample revealed a highly diverse community in which Acidobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria predominated, but failed to yield amplicon sequence variants highly similar to that of strain LMG 31809 T. There were no metagenome assembled genomes that corresponded to the same species and a comprehensive analysis of public 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data sets demonstrated that strain LMG 31809 T represents a rare biosphere bacterium that occurs at very low abundances in multiple soil and water-related ecosystems. The genome analysis suggested that this strain is a strictly aerobic heterotroph that is asaccharolytic and uses organic acids and possibly aromatic compounds as growth substrates. We propose to classify LMG 31809 T as a novel species within a novel genus, Govania unica gen. nov., sp. nov, within the novel family Govaniaceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria. Its type strain is LMG 31809 T (=CECT 30155 T). The whole-genome sequence of strain LMG 31809 T has a size of 3.21 Mbp. The G + C content is 58.99 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences of strain LMG 31809 T are publicly available under accession numbers OQ161091 and JANWOI000000000, respectively.

Abstract
A promising, sustainable way to enhance plant health and productivity is by leveraging beneficial microbes. Beneficial microbes are natural soil residents with proven benefits for plant performance and health. When applied in agriculture to improve crop yield and performance, these microbes are commonly referred to as bioinoculants. Yet, despite their promising properties, bioinoculant efficacy can vary dramatically in the field, hampering their applicability. Invasion of the rhizosphere microbiome is a critical determinant for bioinoculant success. Invasion is a complex phenomenon that is shaped by interactions with the local, resident microbiome and the host plant. Here, we explore all of these dimensions by cross-cutting ecological theory and molecular biology of microbial invasion in the rhizosphere. We refer to the famous Chinese philosopher and strategist Sun Tzu, who believed that solutions for problems require deep understanding of the problems themselves, to review the major biotic factors determining bioinoculant effectiveness.

Abstract
Soil and rhizosphere microbiomes play important roles in suppression of plant pathogens through production of antagonistic secondary metabolites, yet mechanisms that determine the strength of pathogen control are not well understood. Many Pseudomonas species are associated with soil and rhizosphere microbiomes, and their ability to suppress pathogens is well documented. Here, we investigate how interactions within the Pseudomonas genus affect their production of antimicrobial metabolites. From a biosensor-based screen, we identify P. capeferrum species as capable of modulating secondary metabolite production in P. protegens. We show that P. capeferrum alters production of pyoluteorin and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) in P. protegens via two distinct and sequential mechanisms that depends on spatial proximity of the two species. Specifically, P. capeferrum secretes a diffusible signal that induce pyoluteorin production up to 100-fold in neighboring P. protegens colonies. In contrast, the interaction results in reduced DAPG production, but only within mixed-species colonies. Additionally, we found that increased pyoluteorin production and cell lysis of P. capeferrum is required for inhibition of DAPG production, suggesting that pyoluteorin-facilitated antibiosis of P. protegens on P. capeferrum leads to release of cell-associated metabolites and subsequent inhibition of DAPG production in P. protegens. As the interaction modulates in vitro bioactivity of the species, genus-specific interactions may assist in improving efficacy of biocontrol strains and consortia.

Abstract
Microbiota modulates plant health and appears as a promising lever to develop innovative, sustainable and eco-friendly agro-ecosystems. Key patterns of microbiota assemblages in plants have been revealed by an extensive number of studies based on taxonomic profiling by metabarcoding. However, understanding the functionality of microbiota is still in its infancy and relies on reductionist approaches primarily based on the establishment of representative microbial collections. In Arabidopsis thaliana, most of these microbial collections include one strain per OTU isolated from a limited number of habitats, thereby neglecting the ecological potential of genetic diversity within microbial species. With this study, we aimed at estimating the extent of genetic variation between strains within the most abundant and prevalent leaf-associated non-pathogenic bacterial species in A. thaliana located south-west of France. By combining a culture-based collection approach consisting of the isolation of more than 7,000 bacterial colonies with an informative-driven approach, we isolated 35 pure strains from eight non-pathogenic bacterial species. We detected significant intra-specific genetic variation at the genomic level and for growth rate in synthetic media. In addition, significant host genetic variation was detected in response to most bacterial strains in in vitro conditions, albeit dependent on the developmental stage at which plants were inoculated, with the presence of both negative and positive responses on plant growth. Our study provides new genetic and genomic resources for a better understanding of the plant-microbe ecological interactions at the microbiota level. We also highlight the need of considering genetic variation in both non-pathogenic bacterial species and A. thaliana to decipher the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in the ecologically relevant dialog between hosts and leaf microbiota.

Abstract
Plant microbiomes and immune responses have coevolved through history, and this applies just as much to the phyllosphere microbiome and defense phytohormone signaling. When in homeostasis, the phyllosphere microbiome confers benefits to its host. However, the phyllosphere is also dynamic and subject to stochastic events that can modulate community assembly. Investigations into the impact of defense phytohormone signaling on the microbiome have so far been limited to culture-dependent studies; or focused on the rhizosphere. In this study, the impact of the foliar phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) on the structure and composition of the phyllosphere microbiome was investigated. 16S rRNA amplicons were sequenced from aerial tissues of two Arabidopsis mutants that exhibit elevated SA signaling through different mechanisms. SA signaling was shown to increase community diversity and to result in the colonization of rare, satellite taxa in the phyllosphere. However, a stable core community remained in high abundance. Therefore, we propose that SA signaling acts as a source of intermediate disturbance in the phyllosphere. Predictive metagenomics revealed that the SA-mediated microbiome was enriched for antibiotic biosynthesis and the degradation of a diverse range of xenobiotics. Core taxa were predicted to be more motile, biofilm-forming and were enriched for traits associated with microbe-microbe communication; offering potential mechanistic explanation of their success despite SA-mediated phyllospheric disturbance.

Abstract
Chemotaxonomic methods played an important role in the development of the polyphasic approach to classification of Archaea and Bacteria. However, we here argue that routine application of these methods is unnecessary in an era when genomic data are available and sufficient for species delineation. Thus, authors who choose not to utilize such methods should not be forced to do so during the peer review and editorial handling of manuscripts describing novel species. Instead, we argue that chemotaxonomy will thrive if improved analytical methods are introduced and deployed, primarily by specialist laboratories, in studies at taxonomic levels above the characterisation of novel species.

Abstract
We performed a taxonomic and comparative genomics analysis of 67 novel Paraburkholderia isolates from forest soil. Phylogenetic analysis of the recA gene revealed that these isolates formed a coherent lineage within the genus Paraburkholderia that also included Paraburkholderiaaspalathi, Paraburkholderiamadseniana, Paraburkholderiasediminicola, Paraburkholderiacaffeinilytica, Paraburkholderiasolitsugae and Paraburkholderiaelongata and four unidentified soil isolates from earlier studies. A phylogenomic analysis, along with orthoANIu and digital DNA–DNA hybridization calculations revealed that they represented four different species including three novel species and P. aspalathi. Functional genome annotation of the strains revealed several pathways for aromatic compound degradation and the presence of mono- and dioxygenases involved in the degradation of the lignin-derived compounds ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid. This co-occurrence of multiple Paraburkholderia strains and species with the capacity to degrade aromatic compounds in pristine forest soil is likely caused by the abundant presence of aromatic compounds in decomposing plant litter and may highlight a diversity in micro-habitats or be indicative of synergistic relationships. We propose to classify the isolates representing novel species as Paraburkholderia domus with LMG 31832T (=CECT 30334) as the type strain, Paraburkholderia nemoris with LMG 31836T (=CECT 30335) as the type strain and Paraburkholderia haematera with LMG 31837T (=CECT 30336) as the type strain and provide an emended description of Paraburkholderia sediminicola Lim et al. 2008.
