Abstract
Plants produce a variety of secondary metabolites in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Although they have many functions, a subclass of toxic secondary metabolites mainly serve plants as deterring agents against herbivores, insects, or pathogens. Microorganisms present in divergent ecological niches, such as soil, water, or insect and rumen gut systems have been found capable of detoxifying these metabolites. As a result of detoxification, microbes gain growth nutrients and benefit their herbivory host via detoxifying symbiosis. Here, we review current knowledge on microbial degradation of toxic alkaloids, glucosinolates, terpenes, and polyphenols with an emphasis on the genes and enzymes involved in breakdown pathways. We highlight that the insect-associated microbes might find application in biotechnology and become targets for an alternative microbial pest control strategy.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Saponins are a group of plant specialized metabolites with various bioactive properties, both for human health and soil microorganisms. Our previous works demonstrated that Sphingobium is enriched in both soils treated with a steroid-type saponin, such as tomatine, and in the tomato rhizosphere. Despite the importance of saponins in plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere, the genes involved in the catabolism of saponins and their aglycones (sapogenins) remain largely unknown. Here we identified several enzymes that catalyzed the degradation of steroid-type saponins in a Sphingobium isolate from tomato roots, RC1. A comparative genomic analysis of Sphingobium revealed the limited distribution of genes for saponin degradation in our saponin-degrading isolates and several other isolates, suggesting the possible involvement of the saponin degradation pathway in the root colonization of Sphingobium spp. The genes that participate in the catabolism of sapogenins could be applied to the development of new industrially valuable sapogenin molecules.

Alkalihalobacillus clausii PA21 transcriptome profiling and functional analysis revealed the metabolic pathway involved in glycoalkaloids degradation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124682. [PMID: 37164133 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Glycoalkaloids (GAs), including α-solanine and α-chaconine, are secondary metabolites found in potato, which are toxic to higher animals. In a previous study, Alkalihalobacillus clausii PA21 showed the capacity to degrade GAs. Herein, the transcriptome response of PA21 to α-solanine or α-chaconine was evaluated. In total, 3170 and 2783 differential expressed genes (DEGs) were found in α-solanine- and α-chaconine-treated groups, respectively, with most DEGs upregulated. Moreover, GAs activated transmembrane transport, carbohydrate metabolism, transcription, quorum sensing, and bacterial chemotaxis in PA21 to withstand GA-induced stress and promote GAs degradation. Furthermore, qRT-PCR analysis confirmed the upregulation of degrading enzymes and components involved in GA degradation in PA21. In addition, the GAs-degrading enzymes were heterologous expressed, purified, and incubated with GAs to analyze the degradation products. The results showed that α-solanine was degraded to β1-solanine, β2-solanine, γ-solanine, and solanidine by β-glucosidase, α-rhamnosidase, and β-galactosidase. Meanwhile, α-chaconine was degraded to β1-chaconine, β2-chaconine, γ-chaconine, and solanidine by β-glucosidase and α-rhamnosidase. Overall, the molecular mechanism underlying GAs degradation by PA21 was revealed by RNAseq combined with protein expression and function studies, thus providing the basis for the development of engineered bacteria that can efficiently degrade GAs to promote their application in the control of GAs in potatoes.

Abstract
Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are secondary metabolites commonly found in members of the family Solanaceae, including potatoes, and are toxic to pests and humans. The predominant SGAs in potato are α-chaconine and α-solanine. We previously reported that Glutamicibacter halophytocola S2, a gut bacterium of the pest Phthorimaea operculella (potato tuber moth), can degrade α-chaconine and α-solanine in potatoes, which can improve the fitness of P. operculella to feed on potatoes with a high content of toxic SGAs. Glutamicibacter halophytocola S2 harbored a gene cluster containing three deglycosylase genes-GE000599, GE000600, and GE000601-that were predicted encode α-rhamnosidase (RhaA), β-glucosidase (GluA), and β-galactosidase (GalA). However, there is limited information is available on the enzyme activities of the three enzymes expressed by this gene cluster and how they degrade the major toxic α-chaconine and α-solanine. In the current study, each enzyme of this gene cluster was produced by a prokaryotic expression approach and the activity of the recombinant enzymes for their target substrate and α-chaconine and α-solanine were evaluated by EPOCH microplate spectrophotometer and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The three enzymes had multifunctional activities, with RhaA and GluA could hydrolyze α-rhamnose, β-glucose, and β-galactose, while GalA can hydrolyze β-glucose and β-galactose. The degradation of α-chaconine and α-solanine was consistent with the results of the enzyme activity assays. The final product solanidine could be generated by adding RhaA or GluA alone. In conclusion, this study characterized the multifunctional activity and specific degradation pathway of these three enzymes in G. halophytocola S2. The three multifunctional enzymes have high glycosidic hydrolysis activity and clear gene sequence information, which help facilitates understanding the detoxification mechanism of insect gut microbes. The enzymes have a broad application potential and may be valuable in the removal of toxic SGAs from for potato food consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorado potato beetle (CPB; Leptinotarsa decemlineata) is a destructive quarantine pest that develops broad physiological adaptations to potato plants. During feeding, CPB deposits a copious amount of wet frass onto the surface of leaves and stems that remains in place for long periods. Insect behaviors such as feeding, crawling and oviposition are able to mediate plant defenses. However, the specific role of CPB defecation-associated cues in manipulating plant defenses remains unclear. RESULTS CPB larval frass significantly suppressed potato polyphenol oxidase activity and enhanced larval growth on treated potato plants. The incorporation of antibiotics into larval frass triggered higher jasmonic acid (JA)-regulated defense responses in potato plants compared with antibiotic-free frass. Four bacterial symbionts belonging to the genera Acinetobacter, Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Pantoea were isolated from larval frass and suppressed plant defenses. After reinoculation of these bacteria into axenic larvae, Acinetobacter and Citrobacter were found to be highly abundant in the frass, whereas Enterobacter and Pantoea were less abundant probably due to the negative effect of potato steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGA) such as α-solanine. Furthermore, direct application of Acinetobacter and Citrobacter to wounded potato plants significantly inhibited the expression of genes associated with the JA-mediated defense signaling pathway and SGA biosynthesis. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that CPB exploits frass-associated bacteria as a deceptive strategy of plant defense suppression, adding an interesting dimension to our understanding of how CPB successfully specializes on potato plants. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a destructive pest of Solanaceae crops worldwide. α-solanine and α-chaconine are toxic steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) in Solanaceae crops and are most abundant in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.), accounting for more than 95% of the total SGAs. PTM grows on potatoes with a higher concentration of SGAs. Gut bacteria play an important role in the physiology and behavior of insects. To understand the role of gut bacteria of PTM in host adaptability, we isolated and identified major SGA (α-chaconine and α-solanine)-degrading gut bacteria in the gut of PTM by a selective medium and analyzed their degradability and degradation mechanism. RESULTS The gut Glutamicibacter halophytocola S2 of PTM with high degradation capacity to α-solanine and α-chaconine were detected by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and identified by morphological and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. A gene cluster involving α-rhamnosidases, β-glucosidases, and β-galactosidases was identified by whole-genome sequencing of G. halophytocola S2. These genes had higher expression on the α-solanine medium. PTM inoculated with the isolated G. halophytocola S2 obtained higher fitness than antibiotic-treated PTM. CONCLUSION The G. halophytocola S2 in the gut of PTM could degrade the major toxic α-solanine and α-chaconine in potatoes. This enhances the fitness of PTM feeding on potatoes with high SGA contents. The results provide a theoretical foundation for the integrated pest management of PTM and provide an effective strain for the treatment of α-solanine and α-chaconine in potato food. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Plant-associated microbiomes have been a target of interest for the prospection of microorganisms, which may be acting as effectors to increase agricultural productivity. For years, the search for beneficial microorganisms has been carried out from the characterization of functional traits of growth-promotion using tests with a few isolates. However, eventually, the expectations with positive results may not be realized when the evaluation is performed in association with plants. In our study, we accessed the cultivable sugarcane microbiome under two conditions of agronomic management: organic and conventional. From the use of a new customized culture medium, we recovered 944 endophytic and epiphytic bacterial communities derived from plant roots, stalks, leaves, and rhizospheric soil. This could be accomplished by using a large-scale approach, initially performing an in planta (Cynodon dactylon) screening process of inoculation to avoid early incompatibility. The inoculation was performed using the bacterial communities, considering that in this way, they could act synergistically. This process resulted in 38 candidate communities, 17 of which had higher Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization activity and, were submitted to a new in planta test using Brachiaria ruziziensis and quantification of functional traits for growth-promotion and physiological tests. Enrichment analysis of selected communities has shown that they derived mainly from epiphytic populations of sugarcane stalks under conventional management. The sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene revealed 34 genera and 24 species distributed among the phylum Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. We also observed a network of genera in these communities where the genus Chryseobacterium stands out with a greater degree of interaction, indicating a possible direct or indirect role as a keystone taxon in communities with plant-growth promotion capacities. From the results achieved, we can conclude that the approach is useful in the recovery of a set of sugarcane bacterial communities and that there is, evidence of synergistic action providing benefits to plants, and that they are compatible with plants of the same family (Poaceae). Thus, we are reporting the beneficial bacterial communities identified as suitable candidates with rated potential to be exploited as bioinoculants for crops.

Abstract
As an important global crop, the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) contains the endotoxin solanine that leads to human poisoning and major economic losses. Poisoning symptoms and even acute poisoning may occur when the content of solanine in potatoes exceeds 200 mg/kg. In addition, potatoes are susceptible to some pathogenic bacteria, including Streptomyces scabies and Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica (Van Hall) dye, which can cause potato scab and potato blackleg disease, respectively. In this study, 37 culturable endophytic bacteria strains were obtained from potato tubers based on the culture-dependent method. Results indicated that nine strains showed antimicrobial activity against at least one pathogen by antimicrobial activity screening and 23 strains showed inhibitory activity on solanine in potato tubers. Among them, strain P-NA2-14 (Bacillus megaterium NBRC 15308T, 99.31%) showed not only better antimicrobial activity against both the two indicator pathogens, but also the best inhibitory activity on solanine, which was proved to be a potential biocontrol bacterium. Meanwhile, the relationship between the distribution of the endophytic bacterial community and the content of solanine in potato tubers was studied by Illumina-based analysis, indicating that the distribution of the endophytic bacterial community was obviously influenced by the content of solanine. The results showed a new insight into the relationship between plant secondary metabolites and endophytic bacteria in potato tubers and provided potential new technical support for the biological control of potato storage.

Xing SC, Chen JY, Chen YX, Wu RT, Huang CB, Zhang Y, Mi JD, Liao XD. The Combination of Lead and Bacillus coagulans R11 Increased the Concentration of Alpha-Solanine in the Cecum of Laying Hens and the Pathogens Abundance Decreased. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:585197. [PMID: 33193232 PMCID: PMC7609407 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.585197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Alpha-solanine is an alkaloid that can inhibit the growth of pathogens and cancer cells, the present study proved that feeding with Bacillus coagulans R11 increases the concentration of alpha-solanine in the cecum of laying hens, which also decreases the abundance of potential pathogens. In addition, the bacteria genera, metabolism pathways and its proteins involved in the biosynthesis of alpha-solanine in the cecum were also characterized. The results showed that B. coagulans R11 feeding could increase the concentration of alpha-solanine, even with lead exposure. Mevalonic acid and MEP/DOXP pathways were both participated in the biosynthesis of alpha-solanine; at the same time, the gut metabolites (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate, N2-succinyl-L-ornithine and the bacteria proteins atoB, ispH were shown to be crucial role in the biosynthesis of alpha-solanine in the gut. The genera Faecalibacterium sp. An77 and Faecalibacterium sp. An58 2 were important in the biosynthesis of alpha-solanine, which provided the key proteins atoB and ispH. In addition, alpha-solanine could decrease the abundance of Prevotella sp. 109 and Prevotella marshii. In conclusion, alpha-solanine could be biosynthesized by cecal microorganisms with the stimulation of B. coagulans R11 in the intestine of laying hens, in addition, alpha-solanine was the main compound which also decreased the abundance of gut potential.

Discovery of a Bacterial Gene Cluster for Deglycosylation of Toxic Potato Steroidal Glycoalkaloids α-Chaconine and α-Solanine. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2020; 68:1390-1396.

Abstract
Potato juice is a byproduct of starch processing currently used as feed. However, potato proteins are an untapped source of high-protein food for human nutrition if harmful constituents notably glycoalkaloids (GAs) are detoxified. The two principle GAs found in potato are α-chaconine and α-solanine, both consisting of a solanidine aglycone with a carbohydrate side chain. The first step in the detoxification of these compounds is the removal of the trisaccharide. Whole-genome sequencing of a bacterial isolate, Arthrobacter sp. S41, capable of completely degrading α-chaconine and α-solanine, revealed the presence of a gene cluster possibly involved in the deglycosylation of GAs. Functional characterization confirmed the enzymatic activity of the gene cluster involved in the complete deglycosylation of both α-chaconine and α-solanine. The novel enzymes described here may find value in the bioconversion of feed proteins to food proteins suitable for human nutrition.
