Amazonian Bacteria from River Sediments as a Biocontrol Solution against Ralstonia solanacearum. Microorganisms 2024; 12:1364. [PMID: 39065132 PMCID: PMC11278729 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12071364] [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: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is one of the main challenges for sustainable tomato production in the Amazon region. This study evaluated the potential of bacteria isolated from sediments of the Solimões and Negro rivers for the biocontrol of this disease. From 36 bacteria selected through in vitro antibiosis, three promising isolates were identified: Priestia aryabhattai RN 11, Streptomyces sp. RN 24, and Kitasatospora sp. SOL 195, which inhibited the growth of the phytopathogen by 100%, 87.62%, and 100%, respectively. These isolates also demonstrated the ability to produce extracellular enzymes and plant growth-promoting compounds, such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophore, and ammonia. In plant assays, during both dry and rainy seasons, P. aryabhattai RN 11 reduced disease incidence by 40% and 90%, respectively, while promoting the growth of infected plants. Streptomyces sp. RN 24 and Kitasatospora sp. SOL 195 exhibited high survival rates (85-90%) and pathogen suppression in the soil (>90%), demonstrating their potential as biocontrol agents. This study highlights the potential of Amazonian bacteria as biocontrol agents against bacterial wilt, contributing to the development of sustainable management strategies for this important disease.

Phages enhance both phytopathogen density control and rhizosphere microbiome suppressiveness. mBio 2024; 15:e0301623. [PMID: 38780276 PMCID: PMC11237578 DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03016-23] [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: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically target plant pathogenic bacteria, have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional agrochemicals. However, it remains unclear how phages should be applied to achieve efficient pathogen biocontrol and to what extent their efficacy is shaped by indirect interactions with the resident microbiota. Here, we tested if the phage biocontrol efficacy of Ralstonia solanacearum phytopathogenic bacterium can be improved by increasing the phage cocktail application frequency and if the phage efficacy is affected by pathogen-suppressing bacteria already present in the rhizosphere. We find that increasing phage application frequency improves R. solanacearum density control, leading to a clear reduction in bacterial wilt disease in both greenhouse and field experiments with tomato. The high phage application frequency also increased the diversity of resident rhizosphere microbiota and enriched several bacterial taxa that were associated with the reduction in pathogen densities. Interestingly, these taxa often belonged to Actinobacteria known for antibiotics production and soil suppressiveness. To test if they could have had secondary effects on R. solanacearum biocontrol, we isolated Actinobacteria from Nocardia and Streptomyces genera and tested their suppressiveness to the pathogen in vitro and in planta. We found that these taxa could clearly inhibit R. solanacearum growth and constrain bacterial wilt disease, especially when combined with the phage cocktail. Together, our findings unravel an undiscovered benefit of phage therapy, where phages trigger a second line of defense by the pathogen-suppressing bacteria that already exist in resident microbial communities. IMPORTANCE Ralstonia solanacearum is a highly destructive plant-pathogenic bacterium with the ability to cause bacterial wilt in several crucial crop plants. Given the limitations of conventional chemical control methods, the use of bacterial viruses (phages) has been explored as an alternative biological control strategy. In this study, we show that increasing the phage application frequency can improve the density control of R. solanacearum, leading to a significant reduction in bacterial wilt disease. Furthermore, we found that repeated phage application increased the diversity of rhizosphere microbiota and specifically enriched Actinobacterial taxa that showed synergistic pathogen suppression when combined with phages due to resource and interference competition. Together, our study unravels an undiscovered benefit of phages, where phages trigger a second line of defense by the pathogen-suppressing bacteria present in resident microbial communities. Phage therapies could, hence, potentially be tailored according to host microbiota composition to unlock the pre-existing benefits provided by resident microbiota.

Abstract
Endophytic Streptomyces sp. are recognized as a potential resource for valuable natural products but are less explored. This study focused on exploring endophytic Streptomyces species residing within tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) harboring genes for the production of a novel class of antibiotics. Our research involved the isolation and characterization of Streptomyces sp. VITGV156, a newly identified endophytic Streptomyces species that produces antimicrobial products. VITGV156 harbors a genome of 8.18 mb and codes 6,512 proteins, of which 4,993 are of known function (76.67%) and 1,519 are of unknown function (23.32%). By employing genomic analysis, we elucidate the genome landscape of this microbial strain and shed light on various BGCs responsible for producing polyketide antimicrobial compounds, with particular emphasis on the antibiotic kendomycin. We extended our study by evaluating the antibacterial properties of kendomycin. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the genome of endophytic Streptomyces species, particularly Streptomyces sp. VITGV156, which are prolific producers of antimicrobial agents. These findings hold promise for further research and exploitation of pharmaceutical compounds, offering opportunities for the development of novel antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Protaetia brevitarsis larvae (PBL) are soil insects important for the soil organic carbon cycle, and PBL frass not only contains a large amount of humic acid but also affects the diversity, novelty, and potential functions of actinomycetes. Here, we characterized and assessed the actinomycete. The operational taxonomic unit (OTU) data showed that 90% of the actinomycetes cannot be annotated to species, and pure culture and genome analysis showed that 35% of the strains had the potential to be new species, indicating the novelty of PBL frass actinomycetes. Additionally, genome annotation showed that many gene clusters related to antifungal, antibacterial and insecticidal compound synthesis were identified, and confrontation culture confirmed the antifungal activities of the actinomycetes against soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi. The incubation experiment results showed that all isolates were able to thrive on media composed of straw powder and alkaline lignin. These results indicated that PBL hindgut-enriched actinomycetes could survive in soil by using the residual lignocellulose organic matter from plant residues, and the antibiotics produced not only give them a competitive advantage among soil microflora but also have a certain inhibitory effect on plant diseases and pests. This study suggests that the application of PBL frass can not only supplement soil humic acid but also potentially affect the soil microbiota of cultivated land, which is beneficial for the healthy growth of crops.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterial strain (NEAU-HV9T) showing antibacterial activity against Ralstonia solanacearum and herbicidal activity against Amaranthus retroflexus L. was isolated from soil sampled in Bama yao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The strain is aerobic and Gram-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain NEAU-HV9T belonged to the genus Streptomyces and showed high 16S rRNA sequence similarity to Streptomyces panaciradicis 1MR-8T (98.90 %), Streptomyces sasae JR-39T (98.89 %) and Streptomyces barringtoniae JA03T (98.69 %) and less than 98.5 % similarity to other members of the genus Streptomyces. The cell wall of strain NEAU-HV9T contained ll-diaminopimelic acid and the whole-cell hydrolysates were galactose, mannose and ribose. The predominant menaquinones were composed of MK-9(H2) and MK-9(H8). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8c. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain NEAU-HV9T was 70.6 mol%. Furthermore, the strain could be clearly distinguished from its closely related type strains by the combination of DNA-DNA hybridization results and some phenotypic characteristics. Meanwhile, strain NEAU-HV9T displayed herbicidal activity. Therefore, strain NEAU-HV9T represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces herbicida sp. nov. is proposed, with strain NEAU-HV9T (=CCTCC AA 2019088T=DSM 113364T) as the type strain.

Fungal endophyte promotes plant growth and disease resistance of Arachis hypogaea L. by reshaping the core root microbiome under monocropping conditions. Microbiol Res 2023; 277:127491.

Abstract
Fungal endophytes play critical roles in helping plants adapt to adverse environmental conditions. The root endophyte Phomopsis liquidambaris can promote the growth and disease control of peanut plants grown under monocropping systems; however, how such beneficial traits are produced is largely unknown. Since the plant endophytic microbiome is directly linked to plant growth and health, and the composition of which has been found to be potentially influenced by microbial inoculants, this study aims to clarify the roles of root endophytic bacterial communities in P. liquidambaris-mediated plant fitness enhancement under monocropping conditions. Here, we found that P. liquidambaris inoculation induced significant changes in the root bacterial community: enriching some beneficial bacteria such as Bradyrhizobium sp. and Streptomyces sp. in the roots, and improving the core microbial-based interaction network. Next, we assembled and simplified a synthetic community (SynII) based on P. liquidambaris-derived key taxa, including Bacillus sp. HB1, Bacillus sp. HB9, Burkholderia sp. MB7, Pseudomonas sp. MB2, Streptomyces sp. MB6, and Bradyrhizobium sp. MB15. Furthermore, the application of the simplified synthetic community suppressed root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum, promoted plant growth, and increased peanut yields under continuous monocropping conditions. The resistance of synII to F. oxysporum is related to the increased activity of defense enzymes. In addition, synII application significantly increased shoot and root biomass, and yield by 35.56%, 81.19%, and 34.31%, respectively. Collectively, our results suggest that the reshaping of root core microbiota plays an important role in the probiotic-mediated adaptability of plants under adverse environments.

Abstract
Streptomyces is an effective source of new natural bioherbicides. In this study, a novel isolated strain NEAU-HV44 showed strong inhibitory activity against Amaranthus retroflexus L. and was concluded to the genus Streptomyces. Strain NEAU-HV44 fermentation conditions were optimized to maximize the herbicidal activity. The supernatant of strain NEAU-HV44 could significantly control the growth of weeds (A. retroflexus L., Setaria viridis, Portulaca oleracea L., and Chenopodium album) and crops (maize, soybean, wheat, Chinese cabbage, cucumber, tomato, and romaine lettuce) with dose-dependent in preemergence. Notably, weeds were more sensitive to a low-concentration supernatant extract than crops in preemergence. In postemergence, the 2 mg mL-1 supernatant extract could significantly reduce the height and >50% biomass (fresh weight) of tested weeds. The supernatant extract could cause cell membrane destabilization and the cell death of weeds. In addition, the growth of tomato was also inhibited at a high concentration, but no obvious symptoms were observed on soybean and romaine lettuce after spraying the supernatant extract. Then two novel julichrome monomers, julichromes Q12 (1) and Q13 (2), and two known julichromes, julichrome Q3.3 (3) and julichrome Q3.5 (4), were isolated from the supernatant extract of strain NEAU-HV44 by bioactivity-guided approach. This is the first report of the herbicidal activity of julichromes. These four herbicidal compounds could inhibit the shoot and root growth of weeds at 0.2 mg mL-1, and compound 4 could completely inhibit the growth of P. oleracea L. Thus, julichromes (Q12, Q13, Q3.3, Q3.5 1-4) may be new bioherbicidal candidates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Citrus canker and citrus blue mold are two severe diseases in citrus plants, which are mainly caused by Xanthomonas citri susp. citri (Xcc) and Penicillium italicum, respectively. The currently widely used pesticides for these two diseases are harmful to human health and the environment. Therefore, searching for novel antimicrobial agents, especially from natural resources, is getting increasing interest. RESULTS In this study, the crude extract of Streptomyces sp. GLL-9, an endophyte from a navel orange tree, was found to exhibit excellent antimicrobial effects against Xcc and P. italicum. Bioassay-guided isolation led to the discovery of three actinomycins (Acts), actinomycin X2 (Act-X2 ), actinomycin D (ActD), and actinomycin XOβ (Act-XOβ ). The MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) values of Act-X2 , ActD, and Act-XOβ were 31.25, 62.50, and 62.50 μg mL-1 against Xcc, respectively, while 62.50 (Act-X2 ) and 125.00 μg mL-1 (ActD) against P. italicum, being better or comparable to the positive controls. The highest yield of Acts was obtained by solid-state fermentation with rice containing 1% L-tryptophan as a culture medium, being 6.03, 3.07, and 1.02 mg g-1 , for Act-X2 , ActD, and Act-XOβ , respectively. The ethyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. GLL-9 cultivated under the optimal fermentation conditions (EAE-1) can efficiently control these two citrus diseases by excessively producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both pathogens, damaging the cell membranes of P. italicum, and inhibiting the growth of Xcc. In addition, Act-X2 , ActD, and EAE-1 displayed broad-spectrum antifungal activity. CONCLUSION EAE-1 and Acts produced by Streptomyces sp. GLL-9 have high potential as novel antimicrobial agents against plant pathogens. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108527. [PMID: 37239871 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Soil-borne plant diseases seriously threaten the tomato industry worldwide. Currently, eco-friendly biocontrol strategies have been increasingly considered as effective approaches to control the incidence of disease. In this study, we identified bacteria that could be used as biocontrol agents to mitigate the growth and spread of the pathogens causing economically significant diseases of tomato plants, such as tomato bacterial wilt and tomato Fusarium wilt. Specifically, we isolated a strain of Bacillus velezensis (RC116) from tomato rhizosphere soil in Guangdong Province, China, with high biocontrol potential and confirmed its identity using both morphological and molecular approaches. RC116 not only produced protease, amylase, lipase, and siderophores but also secreted indoleacetic acid, and dissolved organophosphorus in vivo. Moreover, 12 Bacillus biocontrol maker genes associated with antibiotics biosynthesis could be amplified in the RC116 genome. Extracellular secreted proteins of RC116 also exhibited strong lytic activity against Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici. Pot experiments showed that the biocontrol efficacy of RC116 against tomato bacteria wilt was 81%, and consequently, RC116 significantly promoted the growth of tomato plantlets. Based on these multiple biocontrol traits, RC116 is expected to be developed into a broad-spectrum biocontrol agent. Although several previous studies have examined the utility of B. velezensis for the control of fungal diseases, few studies to date have evaluated the utility of B. velezensis for the control of bacterial diseases. Our study fills this research gap. Collectively, our findings provide new insights that will aid the control of soil-borne diseases, as well as future studies of B. velezensis strains.

Abstract
Tomato bacterial wilt (TBW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most destructive soil-borne diseases. Myxococcus xanthus R31, isolated from healthy tomato rhizosphere soil using the R. solanacearum baiting method, exhibiting good biocontrol efficacy against TBW. However, the genomic information and evolutionary features of R31 are largely unclear. Here, the high-quality genome assembly of R31 was presented. Using Nanopore sequencing technology, we assembled the 9.25 Mb complete genome of R31 and identified several extracellular enzyme proteins, including carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and peptidases. We also performed a comparative genome analysis of R31 and 17 other strains of M. xanthus with genome sequences in the NCBI database to gain insights into myxobacteria predation and genome size expansion. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization calculation and phylogenetic analysis indicated that R31 was closely related to the species M. xanthus. Further comparative genomics analysis suggested that, in addition to characteristics of predatory microorganisms, R31 contains many strain-specific genes, which may provide a genetic basis for its proficient predatory ability. This study provides new insights into R31 and other closely related species and facilitates studies using genetic approaches to further elucidate the predation mechanism of myxobacteria.

Cooperative Action of Fulvic Acid and Bacillus paralicheniformis Ferment in Regulating Soil Microbiota and Improving Soil Fertility and Plant Resistance to Bacterial Wilt Disease. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0407922. [PMID: 36861975 PMCID: PMC10100657 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.04079-22] [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: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Excessive continuous cropping and soil degradation, such as acidification, hardening, fertility decline, and the degradation of microbial community, lead to the epidemic of soilborne diseases and cause great loss in agriculture production. Application of fulvic acid can improve the growth and yield of various crops and effectively suppress soilborne plant diseases. Bacillus paralicheniformis strain 285-3 producing poly-gamma-glutamic acid is used to remove the organic acid that can cause soil acidification and increase the fertilizer effect of fulvic acid and the effect of improving soil quality and inhibiting soilborne disease. In field experiments, the application of fulvic acid and Bacillus paralicheniformis ferment effectively reduced the incidence of bacterial wilt disease and improved soil fertility. Both fulvic acid powder and B. paralicheniformis ferment improved soil microbial diversity and increased the complexity and stability of the microbial network. For B. paralicheniformis ferment, the molecular weight of poly-gamma-glutamic acid became smaller after heating, which could better improve the soil microbial community and network structure. In fulvic acid and B. paralicheniformis ferment-treated soils, the synergistic interaction between microorganisms increased and the number of keystone microorganisms increased, which included antagonistic bacteria and plant growth-promoting bacteria. Changes in the microbial community and network structure were the main reason for the reduced incidence of bacterial wilt disease. Application of fulvic acid and Bacillus paralicheniformis ferment improved soil physicochemical properties and effectively controlled bacterial wilt disease by changing microbial community and network structure and enriching antagonistic and beneficial bacteria. IMPORTANCE Continuous cropping tobacco has led to soil degradation and caused soilborne bacterial wilt disease. Fulvic acid as a biostimulator was applied to restore soil and control bacterial wilt disease. For improving its effect, fulvic acid was fermented with Bacillus paralicheniformis strain 285-3 producing poly-gamma-glutamic acid. Fulvic acid and B. paralicheniformis ferment inhibited bacterial wilt disease, improved soil quality, enriched beneficial bacteria, and increased microbial diversity and microbial network complexity. Some keystone microorganisms in fulvic acid and B. paralicheniformis ferment-treated soils had potential antimicrobial activity and plant growth-promoting attributes. Fulvic acid and B. paralicheniformis 285-3 ferment could be used to restore soil quality and microbiota and control bacterial wilt disease. This study found new biomaterial to control soilborne bacterial disease by combining fulvic acid and poly-gamma-glutamic acid application.

Abstract
In poplar cultivation, continuous cropping obstacles affect wood yield and soil-borne diseases, primarily due to structural changes in microbes and fungus infection. The bacterium Bacillus cereus BJS-1-3 has strong antagonistic properties against pathogens that were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of poplars. Poplar rhizospheres were investigated for the effects of Bacillus cereus BJS-1-3 on microbial communities. Three successive generations of soil were used to replant poplar seedlings. BJS-1-3 inoculated poplars were larger, had higher plant height and breast height diameter, and had a greater number of total and culturable bacteria than non-inoculated controls. B. cereus BJS-1-3 inoculated poplar rhizospheres were sequenced, utilizing the Illumina MiSeq platform to analyze changes in diversity and structure. The fungi abundance and diversity in the BJS-1-3 rhizosphere were significantly lower than in the control rhizosphere. In comparison to the control group, Bacillus sp. constituted 2.87% and 2.38% of the total bacterial community, while Rhizoctonia sp. constituted 2.06% and 6.00% of the total fungal community. Among the potential benefits of B. cereus BJS-1-3 in poplar cultivation is that it enhances rhizosphere microbial community structure and facilitates the growth of trees.

Plant Disease Resistance-Related Pathways Recruit Beneficial Bacteria by Remodeling Root Exudates upon Bacillus cereus AR156 Treatment. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0361122. [PMID: 36786562 PMCID: PMC10100852 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03611-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The environmentally friendly biological control strategy that relies on beneficial bacterial inoculants to improve plant disease resistance is a promising strategy. Previously, it has been demonstrated that biocontrol bacteria treatments can change the plant rhizosphere microbiota but whether plant signaling pathways, especially those related to disease resistance, mediate the changes in rhizosphere microbiota has not been explored. Here, we investigated the complex interplay among biocontrol strains, plant disease resistance-related pathways, root exudates, rhizosphere microorganisms, and pathogens to further clarify the biocontrol mechanism of biocontrol bacteria by using plant signaling pathway mutants. Bacillus cereus AR156, which was previously isolated from forest soil by our laboratory, can significantly control tomato bacterial wilt disease in greenhouse and field experiments. Moreover, compared with the control treatment, the B. cereus AR156 treatment had a significant effect on the soil microbiome and recruited 35 genera of bacteria to enrich the rhizosphere of tomato. Among them, the relative rhizosphere abundance of nine genera, including Ammoniphilus, Bacillus, Bosea, Candidimonas, Flexivirga, Brevundimonas, Bordetella, Dyella, and Candidatus_Berkiella, was regulated by plant disease resistance-related signaling pathways and B. cereus AR156. Linear correlation analysis showed that the relative abundances of six genera in the rhizosphere were significantly negatively correlated with pathogen colonization in roots. These rhizosphere bacteria were affected by plant root exudates that are regulated by signaling pathways. IMPORTANCE Our data suggest that B. cereus AR156 can promote the enrichment of beneficial microorganisms in the plant rhizosphere by regulating salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA)/ethylene (ET) signaling pathways in plants, thereby playing a role in controlling bacterial wilt disease. Meanwhile, Spearman correlation analysis showed that the relative abundances of these beneficial bacteria were correlated with the secretion of root exudates. Our study reveals a new mechanism for SA and JA/ET signals to participate in the adjustment of plant resistance whereby the signaling pathways adjust the rhizosphere microecology by changing the root exudates and thus change plant resistance. On the other hand, biocontrol strains can utilize this mechanism to recruit beneficial bacteria by activating disease resistance-related signaling pathways to confine the infection and spread of pathogens. Finally, our data also provide a new idea for the in-depth study of biocontrol mechanisms.

Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), are the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease of tomato and banana, respectively, and cause significant yield losses worldwide. A cost-effective measure, such as biological control agents, was used as an alternative method to control these pathogens. Therefore, in this study, six isolates of the Streptomyces-like colony were isolated from soils and their antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi and plant growth-promoting (PGP) activity were assessed. The results showed that these isolates could inhibit the mycelial growth of Fol and Foc. Among them, isolate STRM304 showed the highest percentage of mycelial growth reduction and broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against all tested fungi. In the pot experiment study, the culture filtrate of isolates STRM103 and STRM104 significantly decreased disease severity and symptoms in Fol inoculated plants. Similarly, the culture filtrate of the STRM304 isolate significantly reduced the severity of the disease and symptoms of the disease in Foc inoculated plants. The PGP activity test presents PGP activities, such as indole acetic acid production, phosphate solubilization, starch hydrolysis, lignin hydrolysis, and cellulase activity. Interestingly, the application of the culture filtrate from all isolates increased the percentage of tomato seed germination and stimulated the growth of tomato plants and banana seedlings, increasing the elongation of the shoot and the root and shoot and root weight compared to the control treatment. Therefore, the isolate STRM103 and STRM104, and STRM304 could be used as biocontrol and PGP agents for tomato and banana, respectively, in sustainable agriculture.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:22137. [PMID: 36550145 PMCID: PMC9780229 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-26693-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a major Solanaceae crop worldwide and is vulnerable to bacterial wilt (BW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum during the production process. BW has become a growing concern that could enormously deplete the tomato yield from 50 to 100% and decrease the quality. Research on the molecular mechanism of tomato regulating BW resistance is still limited. In this study, two tomato inbred lines (Hm 2-2, resistant to BW; and BY 1-2, susceptible to BW) were used to explore the molecular mechanism of tomato in response to R. solanacearum infection by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology. We identified 1923 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between Hm 2-2 and BY 1-2 after R. solanacearum inoculation. Among these DEGs, 828 were up-regulated while 1095 were down-regulated in R-3dpi (Hm 2-2 at 3 days post-inoculation with R. solanacearum) vs. R-mock (mock-inoculated Hm 2-2); 1087 and 2187 were up- and down-regulated, respectively, in S-3dpi (BY 1-2 at 3 days post-inoculation with R. solanacearum) vs. S-mock (mock-inoculated BY 1-2). Moreover, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that the largest amount of DEGs were annotated with the Biological Process terms, followed by Cellular Component and Molecular Function terms. A total of 114, 124, 85, and 89 regulated (or altered) pathways were identified in R-3dpi vs. R-mock, S-3dpi vs. S-mock, R-mock vs. S-mock, and R-3dpi vs. S-3dpi comparisons, respectively, by Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. These clarified the molecular function and resistance pathways of DEGs. Furthermore, quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis confirmed the expression patterns of eight randomly selected DEGs, which suggested that the RNA-seq results were reliable. Subsequently, in order to further verify the reliability of the transcriptome data and the accuracy of qRT-PCR results, WRKY75, one of the eight DEGs was silenced by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and the defense response of plants to R. solanacearum infection was analyzed. In conclusion, the findings of this study provide profound insight into the potential mechanism of tomato in response to R. solanacearum infection, which lays an important foundation for future studies on BW.

Biocontrol of strawberry gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea with the termite associated Streptomyces sp. sdu1201 and actinomycin D. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1051730. [PMID: 36406410 PMCID: PMC9674021 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1051730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Strawberry gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is one of the most severe diseases in pre- and post-harvest periods. Although fungicides have been an effective way to control this disease, they can cause serious “3R” problems (Resistance, Resurgence and Residue). In this study, Streptomyces sp. sdu1201 isolated from the hindgut of the fungus-growing termite Odontotermes formosanus revealed significant antifungal activity against B. cinerea. Four compounds (1–4) were isolated from Streptomyces sp. sdu1201 and further identified as actinomycins by the HRMS and 1D NMR data. Among them, actinomycin D had the strongest inhibitory activity against B. cinerea with the EC50 value of 7.65 μg mL−1. The control effect of actinomycin D on strawberry gray mold was also tested on fruits and leaves in vitro, and its control efficiency on leaves was 78.77% at 3 d. Moreover, actinomycin D can also inhibit the polarized growth of germ tubes of B. cinerea. Therefore, Streptomyces sp. sdu1201 and actinomycin D have great potential to gray mold as biocontrol agents.

Abstract
Tobacco bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating diseases. Microbial keystone taxa were proposed as promising targets in plant disease control. In this study, we obtained an antagonistic Bacillus isolate EM-1 from bacterial wilt-suppressive soil, and it was considered rhizosphere-resident bacteria based on high (100%) 16S rRNA gene similarity to sequences derived from high-throughput amplicon sequencing. According to 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MLSA, strain EM-1 was identified as Bacillus velezensis. This strain could inhibit the growth of R. solanacearum, reduce the colonization of R. solanacearum in tobacco roots, and decrease the incidence of bacterial wilt disease. In addition, strain EM-1 also showed a strong inhibitory effect on other phytopathogens, such as Alternaria alternata and Phytophthora nicotianae, indicating a wide antagonistic spectrum. The antimicrobial ability of EM-1 can be attributed to its volatile, lipopeptide and polyketide metabolites. Iturin A (C14, C15, and C16) was the main lipopeptide, and macrolactin A and macrolactin W were the main polyketides in the fermentation broth of EM-1, while heptanone and its derivatives were dominant among the volatile organic compounds. Among them, heptanones and macrolactins, but not iturins, might be the main potential antibacterial substances. Complete genome sequencing was performed, and the biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for iturin A and macrolactin were identified. Moreover, strain EM-1 can also induce plant resistance by increasing the activity of CAT and PPO in tobacco. These results indicated that EM-1 can serve as a biocontrol Bacillus strain for tobacco bacterial wilt control. This study provides a better insight into the strategy of exploring biocontrol agent based on rhizosphere microbiome.

Abstract
Streptomyces, the most abundant and arguably the most important genus of actinomycetes, is an important source of biologically active compounds such as antibiotics, and extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. Since Streptomyces can have a beneficial symbiotic relationship with plants they can contribute to nutrition, health and fitness of the latter. This review article summarizes recent research contributions on the ability of Streptomyces to promote plant growth and improve plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress responses, as well as on the consequences, on plant health, of the enrichment of rhizospheric soils in Streptomyces species. This review summarizes the most recent reports of the contribution of Streptomyces to plant growth, health and fitness and suggests future research directions to promote the use of these bacteria for the development of a cleaner agriculture.

Abstract
Pyricularia oryzae causes rice blast, the major destructive disease in nearly all rice fields. In order to obtain highly active compounds against P. oryzae, four new 20-membered macrolides named venturicidins G-J (1-4) were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. SN5452 along with two known ones, venturicidins A (5) and B (6). Their structures were determined by the cumulative analyses of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) data. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against P. oryzae. Interestingly, these compounds exhibited obvious inhibition to mycelial growth and conidial germination of P. oryzae. Remarkably, the EC50 values of venturicidins A (5), B (6), and I (3) against mycelial growth were 0.11, 0.15 and 0.35 µg/mL, and their EC50 values of conidial germination were 0.27, 0.39 and 1.14 µg/mL, respectively. The analysis of structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that the methylated positions might be involved in the antifungal activity of venturicidins. These results indicate that the venturicidins are prospective candidates for novel fungicides that can be applied in controlling rice blast.

Abstract
Bacteria and fungi are major phytopathogens which substantially affect global agricultural productivity. In the present study, Streptomyces sp. AN090126, isolated from agricultural suppressive soil in Korea, showed broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against various phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi. In the 96-well plate assay, the fermentation filtrate of Streptomyces sp. AN090126 exhibited antimicrobial activity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.63–10% for bacteria and 0.63–3.3% for fungi. The MIC of the partially purified fraction was 20.82–250 µg/mL for bacteria and 15.6–83.33 µg/mL for fungi. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that AN090126 produced various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including dimethyl sulfide and trimethyl sulfide, which inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria and fungi in in vitro VOC assays. In pot experiments, the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. AN090126 reduced tomato bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, red pepper leaf spot caused by Xanthomonas euvesicatoria, and creeping bentgrass dollar spot caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the secondary metabolites derived from this strain showed a synergistic effect with streptomycin sulfate against streptomycin-resistant Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, the causative agent of Kimchi cabbage soft rot, in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Therefore, Streptomyces sp. AN090126 is a potential biocontrol agent in controlling plant diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria and fungi, specifically by the streptomycin-resistant strains.

Biocontrol Streptomyces Induces Resistance to Bacterial Wilt by Increasing Defense-Related Enzyme Activity in Solanum melongena L. Curr Microbiol 2022; 79:146.

Abstract
Streptomyces strains were isolated from rhizosphere soil and evaluated for in vitro plant growth and antagonistic potential against Ralstonia solanacearum. Based on their in vitro screening, seven Streptomyces were evaluated for plant growth promotion (PGP) and biocontrol efficacy by in-planta and pot culture study. In the in-planta study, Streptomyces-treated eggplant seeds showed better germination percentage, plant growth, and disease occurrence against R. solanacearum than the control treatment. Hence, all seven Streptomyces cultures were developed as a bioformulation by farmyard manure and used for pot culture study. The highest plant growth, weight, and total chlorophyll content were observed in UP1A-1-treated eggplant followed by UP1A-4, UT4A-49, and UT6A-57. Similarly, the maximum biocontrol efficacy was observed in UP1A-1-treated eggplants against bacterial wilt. The biocontrol potential of Streptomyces is also confirmed through metabolic responses by assessing the activities of the defense-related enzymes peroxidase (POX), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and as well as the levels of total phenol. Treatment with UP1A-1/ UT4A-49 and challenge with R. solanacearum led to maximum changes in the activities of POX, PPO, and PAL and the levels of total phenol in the eggplants at different time intervals. Alterations in enzymes of UP1A-1 treatment were related to early defense responses in eggplant. Therefore, the treatment with UP1A-1 significantly delayed the establishment of bacterial wilt in eggplant. Altogether, the present study suggested that the treatment of Streptomyces maritimus UP1A-1 fortified farmyard manure has improved the plant growth and stronger disease control against R. solanacearum on eggplant.

Abstract
Biological control of phytopathogen is a promising approach when compared to the use of chemical agents. In the present study, seven Streptomyces cultures showing promising anti biofilm activity against Ralstonia solanacearum was mixed individually with farmyard manure. All the Streptomyces fortified farmyard manure (SFYM) were screened for plant growth promotion and control of bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum on tomato. Further, the ability of SFYM on stimulating the production of defense-related enzymes in R. solanacearum-inoculated tomato plants was investigated. When compared to the control tomato plants, the SFYM-treated plants had longer shoot and root length along with higher fresh and dry weight. The maximum level of chlorophyll was observed in the plants treated with strain UP1A-1 (2.21 ± 0.18 mg g-1). Strain UP1A-1 also showed maximum of 96.8 ± 1.4% biocontrol efficacy in tomato plants challenged with R. solanacearum. In addition, the UP1A-1 treated tomato plants showed maximum accumulation of total phenolics (3.02 ± 0.09 mg g-1) after 6 days of pathogen inoculation (DPI). Similarly, tomato plants treated with UP1A-1 showed highest level of peroxides, polyphenol oxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase during 1-9 DPI. Findings of present study revealed that the Streptomyces culture UP1A-1 fortified farm yard manure could be applied as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic agents for controlling bacterial wilt in tomato plants.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum caused tomato bacterial wilt (TBW), a destructive soil-borne disease worldwide. There is an urgent need to develop effective control methods. Myxobacteria are microbial predators and are widely distributed in the soil. Compared with other biocontrol bacteria that produce antibacterial substances, the myxobacteria have great potential for biocontrol. This study reports a strain of Myxococcus xanthus R31 that exhibits high antagonistic activity to R. solanacearum. Plate test indicated that the strain R31 efficiently predated R. solanacearum. Pot experiments showed that the biocontrol efficacy of strain R31 against TBW was 81.9%. Further study found that the secreted protein precipitated by ammonium sulfate had significant lytic activity against R. solanacearum cells, whereas the ethyl acetate extract of strain R31 had no inhibitory activity against R. solanacearum. Substrate spectroscopy assay and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis of secreted proteins showed that some peptidases, lipases, and glycoside hydrolases might play important roles and could be potential biocontrol factors involved in predation. The present study reveals for the first time that the use of strain M. xanthus R31 as a potential biocontrol agent could efficiently control TBW by predation and secreting extracellular lyase proteins.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to identify a strain of endophytic Bacillus species that control tomato bacterial wilt by foliar spray application. Fifty heat-tolerant endophytic bacteria were isolated from the surface-sterilized foliar tissues of symptomless tomato plants that had been pre-inoculated with the pathogen Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum. In the primary screening, we assessed the suppressive effects of a shoot-dipping treatment with bacterial strains against bacterial wilt on tomato seedlings grown on peat pellets. Bacillus sp. strains G1S3 and G4L1 significantly suppressed the incidence of tomato bacterial wilt. In subsequent pot experiments, the biocontrol efficacy of foliar spray application was examined under glasshouse conditions. G4L1 displayed consistent and significant disease suppression, and, thus, was selected as a biocontrol candidate. Moreover, the pathogen population in the stem of G4L1-treated plants was markedly smaller than that in control plants. A quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that the foliar spraying of tomato plants with G4L1 up-regulated the expression of PR-1a and LoxD in stem and GluB in roots upon the pathogen inoculation, implying that the induction of salicylic acid-, jasmonic acid-, and ethylene-dependent defenses was involved in the protective effects of this strain. In the re-isolation experiment, G4L1 efficiently colonized foliar tissues for at least 4 weeks after spray application. Collectively, the present results indicate that G4L1 is a promising biocontrol agent for tomato bacterial wilt. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report the biocontrol of bacterial wilt by the foliar spraying with an endophytic Bacillus species.

In this study, the seed endosphere of a bacterial wilt tolerant chilli cv. Firingi Jolokia was explored in order to find effective agents for bacterial wilt disease biocontrol. A total of 32 endophytic bacteria were isolated from freshly collected seeds and six isolates were selected based on R. solanacearum inhibition assay. These isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis (KJ-2), Bacillus velezensis (KJ-4), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (KP-1), Lactococcus lactis (LB-3), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (WK-2), and Bacillus subtilis (WK-3) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In the in planta R. solanacearum inhibition assay carried out by seedling root bacterization method, Bacillus subtilis (KJ-2) exhibited highest biocontrol efficacy of 86.6 % on 7th day post R. solanacearum inoculation and a minimum biocontrol efficacy of 52.9 % was noted for Leuconostoc mesenteroides (KP-1). GC-HRMS analysis detected several known antimicrobial compounds in the extract of the culture supernatant of Bacillus subtilis (KJ-2); which may contribute to inhibition of R. solanacearum. In the growth promotion assay conducted using these isolates, only two of them namely Bacillus subtilis (KJ-2) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (WK-2) showed growth promotion in true leafed tomato plants. All the selected seed endophytic isolates were able to control bacterial wilt of tomato at the seedling stage and Bacillus subtilis (KJ-2) was found to be most effective in controlling the disease. The results of the present study highlighted that seed endosphere of bacterial wilt tolerant cultivar is a rich source of R. solanacearum antagonizing bacterial isolates.

Characterization of a Novel Endophytic Actinomycete, Streptomyces physcomitrii sp. nov., and Its Biocontrol Potential Against Ralstonia solanacearum on Tomato. Microorganisms 2020; 8:microorganisms8122025. [PMID: 33352827 PMCID: PMC7765990 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms8122025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Revised: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Bacterial wilt of tomato is a destructive disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum throughout the world. An endophytic actinomycete with antagonistic activity, designated strain LD120T, was isolated from moss (Physcomitrium sphaericum (Ludw) Fuernr). The biocontrol test demonstrated that co-inoculation by the isolate and the pathogen gave the greatest biocontrol efficiency of 63.6%. Strain LD120T had morphological characteristics and chemotaxonomic properties identical to those of members of the genus Streptomyces. The diamino acid present in the cell wall was LL-diaminopimelic acid. Arabinose, glucose, rhamnose, and ribose occured in whole cell hydrolysates. The menaquinones detected were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6), MK-9(H8), and MK-9(H2). The polar lipid profile was found to contain diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol. The major cellular fatty acids were found to be iso-C16:0, iso-C17:0, anteiso-C15:0, and C16:1 ω7c. The DNA G+C content of the draft genome sequence, consisting of 7.6 Mbp, was 73.1%. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain LD120T belongs to the genus Streptomyces, with the highest sequence similarity to Streptomyces azureus NRRL B-2655T (98.97%), but phylogenetically clustered with Streptomyces anandii NRRL B-3590T (98.62%). Multilocus sequence analysis based on five other house-keeping genes (atpD, gyrB, rpoB, recA, and trpB) and the low level of DNA–DNA relatedness, as well as phenotypic differences, allowed strain LD120T to be differentiated from its closely related strains. Therefore, the strain was concluded to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomycesphyscomitrii sp. nov. was proposed. The type strain was LD120T (=CCTCC AA 2018049T = DSM 110638T).

Abstract
Consumers highly appreciate table grapes for their pleasant sensory attributes and as good sources of nutritional and functional compounds. This explains the rising market and global interest in this product. Along with other fruits and vegetables, table grapes are considerably perishable post-harvest due to the growth of undesired microorganisms. Among the microbial spoilers, Botrytis cinerea represents a model organism because of its degrading potential and the huge economic losses caused by its infection. The present review provides an overview of the recent primary physical, chemical, and biological control treatments adopted against the development of B. cinerea in table grapes to extend shelf life. These treatments preserve product quality and safety. This article also focuses on the compliance of different approaches with organic and sustainable production processes. Tailored approaches include those that rely on controlled atmosphere and the application of edible coating and packaging, as well as microbial-based activities. These strategies, applied alone or in combination, are among the most promising solutions in order to prolong table grape quality during cold storage. In general, the innovative design of applications dealing with hurdle technologies holds great promise for future improvements.
