Abstract
Following the commodity risk assessment of bonsai plants (Pinus parviflora grafted on Pinus thunbergii) from China performed by EFSA, the EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Pyrrhoderma noxium, a clearly defined plant pathogenic basidiomycete fungus of the order Hymenochaetales and the family Hymenochaetaceae. The pathogen is considered as opportunistic and has been reported on a wide range of hosts, mainly broad-leaved and coniferous woody plants, causing root rots. In addition, the fungus was reported to live saprophytically on woody substrates and was isolated as an endophyte from a few plant species. This pest categorisation focuses on the hosts that are relevant for the EU (e.g. Citrus, Ficus, Pinus, Prunus, Pyrus, Quercus and Vitis vinifera). Pyrrhoderma noxium is present in Africa, Central and South America, Asia and Oceania. It has not been reported in the EU. Pyrrhoderma noxium is not included in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. Plants for planting (excluding seeds), bark and wood of host plants as well as soil and other growing media associated with plant debris are the main pathways for the entry of the pathogen into the EU. Host availability and climate suitability factors occurring in parts of the EU are favourable for the establishment and spread of the pathogen. The introduction and spread of the pathogen into the EU are expected to have an economic and environmental impact in parts of the territory where hosts are present. Phytosanitary measures are available to prevent the introduction and spread of the pathogen into the EU. Pyrrhoderma noxium satisfies all the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as potential Union quarantine pest.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 344:123402.

Abstract
Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is a new type of agrochemical used to prevent plant diseases, but its effects on aquatic organisms are unclear. To comprehensively assess the impacts of PCA for aquatic organisms and its associated environmental risks, this study investigated, taking zebrafish as the research object, the toxicological mechanism of PCA by means of optical microscopy, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, ultrastructural observation, physiological and biochemical testing, transcriptome sequencing, metabolome analysis, fluorescence quantitative PCR and molecular simulation. The results indicated that PCA was detrimental to zebrafish embryos, larvae and adults, with LC50 values at 96 h of 3.9093 mg/L, 8.5075 mg/L, and 13.6388 mg/L, respectively. PCA caused abnormal spontaneous movement, slowed the heart rate, delayed hatching, shortened the body length, slowed growth, and caused malformations. PCA mainly affected the brain, liver, heart, and ovaries. PCA distorted cell morphology, damaged mitochondrial membranes, disintegrated mitochondrial ridges, and dissociated nuclear membranes. PCA inhibited the enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and disrupted antioxidant effects. The results of omics studies confirmed that PCA interfered with the transcriptional and metabolic network of zebrafish, downregulating most genes and metabolites. PCA mainly affected functions related to mitochondrial steroids, lipids, sterols, oxidoreductase activity and pathways involving cofactors, steroids, porphyrin, cytochromes, which specifically bound to targets such as panx3, agmat, and ace2. PCA was moderately toxic to zebrafish, and its usage should be strictly controlled to reduce toxic effects on aquatic organisms. The results of this study provide a new insights for ecotoxicology research.

PcaR, a GntR/FadR Family Transcriptional Repressor Controls the Transcription of Phenazine-1-Carboxylic Acid 1,2-Dioxygenase Gene Cluster in Sphingomonas histidinilytica DS-9. Appl Environ Microbiol 2023; 89:e0212122. [PMID: 37191535 PMCID: PMC10304782 DOI: 10.1128/aem.02121-22] [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: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023] Open
Abstract
In our previous study, the phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) 1,2-dioxygenase gene cluster (pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster) in Sphingomonas histidinilytica DS-9 was identified to be responsible for the conversion of PCA to 1,2-dihydroxyphenazine (Ren Y, Zhang M, Gao S, Zhu Q, et al. 2022. Appl Environ Microbiol 88:e00543-22). However, the regulatory mechanism of the pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster has not been elucidated yet. In this study, the pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster was found to be transcribed as two divergent operons: pcaA3-ORF5205 (named A3-5205 operon) and pcaA1A2-ORF5208-pcaA4-ORF5210 (named A1-5210 operon). The promoter regions of the two operons were overlapped. PcaR acts as a transcriptional repressor of the pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster, and it belongs to GntR/FadR family transcriptional regulator. Gene disruption of pcaR can shorten the lag phase of PCA degradation. The results of electrophoretic mobility shift assay and DNase I footprinting showed that PcaR binds to a 25-bp motif in the ORF5205-pcaA1 intergenic promoter region to regulate the expression of two operons. The 25-bp motif covers the -10 region of the promoter of A3-5205 operon and the -35 region and -10 region of the promoter of A1-5210 operon. The TNGT/ANCNA box within the motif was essential for PcaR binding to the two promoters. PCA acted as an effector of PcaR, preventing it from binding to the promoter region and repressing the transcription of the pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster. In addition, PcaR represses its own transcription, and this repression can be relieved by PCA. This study reveals the regulatory mechanism of PCA degradation in strain DS-9, and the identification of PcaR increases the variety of regulatory model of the GntR/FadR-type regulator. IMPORTANCE Sphingomonas histidinilytica DS-9 is a phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA)-degrading strain. The 1,2-dioxygenase gene cluster (pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster, encoding dioxygenase PcaA1A2, reductase PcaA3, and ferredoxin PcaA4) is responsible for the initial degradation step of PCA and widely distributed in Sphingomonads, but its regulatory mechanism has not been investigated yet. In this study, a GntR/FadR-type transcriptional regulator PcaR repressing the transcription of pcaA1A2A3A4 cluster and pcaR gene was identified and characterized. The binding site of PcaR in ORF5205-pcaA1 intergenic promoter region contains a TNGT/ANCNA box, which is important for the binding. These findings enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanism of PCA degradation.

Exploiting the antibacterial mechanism of phenazine substances from Lysobacter antibioticus 13-6 against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola. J Microbiol 2022; 60:496-510.

Abstract
Bacterial leaf streak caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting rice production worldwide. In this study, we extracted and purified phenazine substances from the secondary metabolites of Lysobacter antibioticus 13-6. The bacteriostatic mechanism of phenazine substances against Xoc was investigated through physiological response and transcriptomic analysis. Results showed that phenazine substances affects the cell membrane permeability of Xoc, which causes cell swelling and deformation, blockage of flagellum synthesis, and imbalance of intracellular environment. The changes in intracellular environment affect the physiological and metabolic functions of Xoc, which reduces the formation of pathogenic factors and pathogenicity. Through transcriptomic analysis, we found that among differentially expressed genes, the expression of 595 genes was induced significantly (275 up-regulated and 320 down-regulated). In addition, we observed that phenazine substances affects three main functions of Xoc, i.e., transmembrane transporter activity, DNA-mediated transposition, and structural molecular activity. Phenazine substances also inhibits the potassium ion transport system that reduces Xoc resistance and induces the phosphate ion transport system to maintain the stability of the internal environment. Finally, we conclude that phenazine substances could retard cell growth and reduce the pathogenicity of Xoc by affecting cell structure and physiological metabolism. Altogether, our study highlights latest insights into the antibacterial mechanism of phenazine substances against Xoc and provides basic guidance to manage the incidence of bacterial leaf streak of rice.

Abstract
A total of 15 novel-substituted 3-(benzylsulfanyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylamine and 10 novel-substituted 3-benzylmercapto-1,2,4-triazol derivatives were synthesized based on the natural product phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA). Their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS, and X-ray. Most substituted 3-benzylmercapto-1,2,4-triazol derivatives displayed very strong fungicidal activity against one or multiple plant pathogens in vitro and in vivo. Compounds 8b, 8h, and 8i showed a broad spectrum of fungicidal activity. Further field experiments indicated that compounds 8b, 8c, and 8h displayed better efficacy against rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae) than PCA. These data demonstrate that compounds 8b, 8c, and 8h are promising fungicidal candidates, deserving further studies.[Formula: see text].

Abstract
Gray blight disease is one of the most destructive diseases of tea plants and occurs widely in the tea-growing areas of the world. It is caused by several fungal phytopathogens, of which Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae-sinensis is the main pathogen in China. The environmentally friendly antimicrobial, phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), a metabolite of the natural soil-borne bacteria Pseudomonas spp., can inhibit a range of fungal crop diseases. In this study, we determined that PCA was active against Ps. camelliae-sinensis in vitro. We studied the mode of action of PCA on hyphae using a microscopic investigation, transcriptomics, biochemical methods, and molecular docking. The results of scanning and transmission electron microscopy indicated that PCA caused developmental deformity of mycelia and organelle damage, and it significantly decreased the accumulation of exopolysaccharides on the hyphal surface. The transcriptome revealed that 1705 and 1683 differentially expressed genes of Ps. camelliae-sinensis treated with PCA were up-regulated or down-regulated, respectively, with genes associated with ribosome biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, and encoding various proteins of N-glycan biosynthesis being significantly up-regulated. Up-regulation of nine genes related to N-glycan biosynthesis of Ps. camelliae-sinensis in response to PCA treatment was confirmed by reverse transcription qPCR. The enzymatic activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase of hyphae was significantly decreased by PCA treatment. Our results indicated that exposure to PCA resulted in expression changes in oxidoreductase genes, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and decreased activity of catalase, with concomitant damage to the fungal cell membrane and cell wall.

Abstract
Brown root rot (BRR), caused by Phellinus noxius (Corner) G. Cunningham, occurs on over 200 species of plants, especially woody trees and shrubs. Ceylon myrtle (Phyllanthus myrtifolius [Wight] Müll.Arg.), a common hedge plant, was recently observed to be infected with BRR. Disease diagnosis was performed by completing Koch's postulates, and Ceylon myrtle was confirmed to be a new host of P. noxius. Typical symptoms of BRR were observed, including reduction in leaf size, dieback of branches, and suspended growth of young leaves. A disease severity index was used to quantify BRR in this study. Compared with Malabar chestnut, Ceylon myrtle was relatively resistant to BRR. Surprisingly, phylogenetic analysis of the ITS and 28S sequences revealed that isolates identified as P. noxius from Taiwan and many other countries were clustered in the same clade but separate from the clade comprising isolates from China, which were designated Pyrrhoderma noxium based on P. noxius. Therefore, to temporarily distinguish these pathogens, the former clade was designated GPN (global P. noxius), whereas the latter clade was designated CPN (China Py. noxium). In biocontrol assays, Streptomyces padanus and Bacillus sp. were selected for BRR control of Ceylon myrtle. Disease severity was reduced from 0.51 to 0.37 by S. padanus and to 0.14 by Bacillus sp. in greenhouse trials. In addition, the two biocontrol agents, especially S. padanus, exhibited good growth-promoting effects on cuttings of Ceylon myrtle. With these double advantages, S. padanus and Bacillus sp. have great potential to control BRR in practical applications.

Abstract
Climate change has already affected food security in many parts of the world, and this situation will worsen if nothing is done to combat it. Unfortunately, agriculture is a meaningful driver of climate change, through greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogen-based fertilizer, methane from animals and animal manure, as well as deforestation to obtain more land for agriculture. Therefore, the global agricultural sector should minimize greenhouse gas emissions in order to slow climate change. The objective of this review is to point out the various ways plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPM) can be used to enhance crop production amidst climate change challenges, and effects of climate change on more conventional challenges, such as: weeds, pests, pathogens, salinity, drought, etc. Current knowledge regarding microbial inoculant technology is discussed. Pros and cons of single inoculants, microbial consortia and microbial compounds are discussed. A range of microbes and microbe derived compounds that have been reported to enhance plant growth amidst a range of biotic and abiotic stresses, and microbe-based products that are already on the market as agroinputs, are a focus. This review will provide the reader with a clearer understanding of current trends in microbial inoculants and how they can be used to enhance crop production amidst climate change challenges.

Abstract
Phellinus noxius causes brown root rot (BRR) of diverse trees. Basidiospores and diseased host tissues have been recognized as important sources of P. noxius inoculum. This study aimed to understand whether P. noxius could occur or survive in soil without host tissues in the natural environment. Soil was sampled before and after the removal of diseased trees at eight BRR infection sites (total of 44 samples). No P. noxius colonies were recovered in soil plating assays, suggesting that no or little viable P. noxius resided in the soil. To know whether P. noxius could disseminate from decayed roots to the surrounding soil, rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils were sampled from another two infection sites. Although P. noxius DNA was detectable with specific primers, no P. noxius could be isolated, even from the rhizosphere soils around decayed roots covered with P. noxius mycelial mats. The association between viable P. noxius and the presence of its DNA was also investigated using field soil mixed with P. noxius arthrospores. After P. noxius was exterminated by flooding or fumigation treatment, its DNA remained detectable for a few weeks. The potential of onsite soil as an inoculum was tested using the highly susceptible loquat (Eriobotrya japonica). Loquats replanted in an infection site that had been cleaned up by simply removing the diseased stump and visible residual roots remained healthy for a year. Taken together, P. noxius is not a soilborne pathogen, and diseased host tissues should be the focus of field sanitation and detection for BRR.

Abstract
Brown root rot (BRR), caused by the white rot fungus Phellinus noxius, is an epidemic disease of diverse broadleaved and coniferous tree species in many tropical and subtropical regions. Flooding and trenching control measures are difficult to implement, and chemical controls can have an adverse impact on ecosystems. Previous studies have provided in vitro evidence for the potential use of Trichoderma spp. for biocontrol of BRR. Here, we analyzed the in vitro antagonistic and mycoparasitic abilities of four Trichoderma spp. isolates against four P. noxius isolates in dual culture and Ficus microcarpa wood blocks. A convenient inoculation system based on root inoculation of a highly susceptible loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) with P. noxius-colonized wheat-oat grains was developed to examine the effect of Trichoderma treatment in planta. Preventive application of Trichoderma asperellum TA, the isolate showing high antagonistic activity in vitro, was effective in preventing and delaying the wilting of P. noxius-inoculated loquat cuttings in greenhouse trials. To understand the specific niche in which T. asperellum TA interacts with P. noxius, KOH-aniline blue fluorescence microscopy was used to investigate the colonization of loquat roots by P. noxius and/or T. asperellum TA. Dilution plating assays were also conducted to quantify Trichoderma populations in the rhizosphere and potting mix. T. asperellum TA was able to robustly establish in the rhizosphere and potting mix but with scarce root penetration limited to the superficial layer. We discuss the timing and strategy for applying antagonistic Trichodema sp. on living trees or in BRR-infested areas for BRR management.

Abstract
Background Phytophthora infestans is responsible for late blight, one of the most important potato diseases. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA)-producing Pseudomonas fluorescens strain LBUM223 isolated in our laboratory shows biocontrol potential against various plant pathogens. To characterize the effect of LBUM223 on the transcriptome of P. infestans, we conducted an in vitro time-course study. Confrontational assay was performed using P. infestans inoculated alone (control) or with LBUM223, its phzC- isogenic mutant (not producing PCA), or exogenically applied PCA. Destructive sampling was performed at 6, 9 and 12 days and the transcriptome of P. infestans was analysed using RNA-Seq. The expression of a subset of differentially expressed genes was validated by RT-qPCR. Results Both LBUM223 and exogenically applied PCA significantly repressed P. infestans’ growth at all times. Compared to the control treatment, transcriptomic analyses showed that the percentages of all P. infestans’ genes significantly altered by LBUM223 and exogenically applied PCA increased as time progressed, from 50 to 61% and from to 32 to 46%, respectively. When applying an absolute cut-off value of 3 fold change or more for all three harvesting times, 207 genes were found significantly differentially expressed by PCA, either produced by LBUM223 or exogenically applied. Gene ontology analysis revealed that both treatments altered the expression of key functional genes involved in major functions like phosphorylation mechanisms, transmembrane transport and oxidoreduction activities. Interestingly, even though no host plant tissue was present in the in vitro system, PCA also led to the overexpression of several genes encoding effectors. The mutant only slightly repressed P. infestans’ growth and barely altered its transcriptome. Conclusions Our study suggests that PCA is involved in P. infestans’ growth repression and led to important transcriptomic changes by both up- and down-regulating gene expression in P. infestans over time. Different metabolic functions were altered and many effectors were found to be upregulated, suggesting their implication in biocontrol.

Ankyrin-Like Protein AnkB Interacts with CatB, Affects Catalase Activity, and Enhances Resistance of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola to Phenazine-1-Carboxylic Acid. Appl Environ Microbiol 2018; 84:AEM.02145-17.

Abstract
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, which causes rice bacterial leaf blight, and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, which causes rice bacterial leaf streak, are important plant-pathogenic bacteria. A member of the adaptor protein family, ankyrin protein, has been investigated largely in humans but rarely in plant-pathogenic bacteria. In this study, a novel ankyrin-like protein, AnkB, was identified in X. oryzae pv. oryzae and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola. The expression of ankB was significantly upregulated when these bacteria were treated with phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA). ankB is located 58 bp downstream of the gene catB (which encodes a catalase) in both bacteria, and the gene expression of catB and catalase activity were reduced following ankB deletion in X. oryzae pv. oryzae and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola. Furthermore, we demonstrated that AnkB directly interacts with CatB by glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown assays. Deletion of ankB increased the sensitivity of X. oryzae pv. oryzae and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola to H2O2 and PCA, decreased bacterial biofilm formation, swimming ability, and exopolysaccharide (EPS) production, and also reduced virulence on rice. Together our results indicate that the ankyrin-like protein AnkB has important and conserved roles in antioxidant systems and pathogenicity in X. oryzae pv. oryzae and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola.IMPORTANCE This study demonstrates that the ankyrin protein AnkB directly interacts with catalase CatB in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola. Ankyrin protein AnkB can affect the gene expression of catB, catalase activity, and sensitivity to H2O2 In Xanthomonas spp., the locations of genes ankB and catB and the amino acid sequence of AnkB are highly conserved. It is suggested that in prokaryotes, AnkB plays a conserved role in the defense against oxidative stress.

The Effect of Phenazine-1-Carboxylic Acid on Mycelial Growth of Botrytis cinerea Produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa LV Strain. Front Microbiol 2017; 8:1102.

Abstract
One of the most important postharvest plant pathogens that affect strawberries, grapes and tomatoes is Botrytis cinerea, known as gray mold. The fungus remains in latent form until spore germination conditions are good, making infection control difficult, causing great losses in the whole production chain. This study aimed to purify and identify phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) produced by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa LV strain and to determine its antifungal activity against B. cinerea. The compounds produced were extracted with dichloromethane and passed through a chromatographic process. The purity level of PCA was determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography semi-preparative. The structure of PCA was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Antifungal activity was determined by the dry paper disk and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) methods and identified by scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. The results showed that PCA inhibited mycelial growth, where MIC was 25 μg mL-1. Microscopic analysis revealed a reduction in exopolysaccharide (EPS) formation, showing distorted and damaged hyphae of B. cinerea. The results suggested that PCA has a high potential in the control of B. cinerea and inhibition of EPS (important virulence factor). This natural compound is a potential alternative to postharvest control of gray mold disease.

Abstract
The environmentally friendly antibiotic phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) protects plants, mammals and humans effectively against various fungal pathogens. However, the mechanism by which PCA inhibits or kills fungal pathogens is not fully understood. We analyzed the effects of PCA on the growth of two fungal model organisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans, and found that PCA inhibited yeast growth in a dose-dependent manner which was inversely dependent on pH. In contrast, the commonly used antibiotic hygromycin B acted in a dose-dependent manner as pH increased. We then screened a yeast mutant library to identify genes whose mutation or deletion conferred resistance or sensitivity to PCA. We isolated 193 PCA-resistant or PCA-sensitive mutants in clusters, including vesicle-trafficking- and autophagy-defective mutants. Further analysis showed that unlike hygromycin B, PCA significantly altered intracellular vesicular trafficking under growth conditions and blocked autophagy under starvation conditions. These results suggest that PCA inhibits or kills pathogenic fungi in a complex way, in part by disrupting vesicular trafficking and autophagy.

Novel Three-Component Phenazine-1-Carboxylic Acid 1,2-Dioxygenase in Sphingomonas wittichii DP58. Appl Environ Microbiol 2017; 83:AEM.00133-17.

Abstract
Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid, the main component of shenqinmycin, is widely used in southern China for the prevention of rice sheath blight. However, the fate of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid in soil remains uncertain. Sphingomonas wittichii DP58 can use phenazine-1-carboxylic acid as its sole carbon and nitrogen sources for growth. In this study, dioxygenase-encoding genes, pcaA1A2, were found using transcriptome analysis to be highly upregulated upon phenazine-1-carboxylic acid biodegradation. PcaA1 shares 68% amino acid sequence identity with the large oxygenase subunit of anthranilate 1,2-dioxygenase from Rhodococcus maanshanensis DSM 44675. The dioxygenase was coexpressed in Escherichia coli with its adjacent reductase-encoding gene, pcaA3, and ferredoxin-encoding gene, pcaA4, and showed phenazine-1-carboxylic acid consumption. The dioxygenase-, ferredoxin-, and reductase-encoding genes were expressed in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 or E. coli BL21, and the three recombinant proteins were purified. A phenazine-1-carboxylic acid conversion capability occurred in vitro only when all three components were present. However, P. putida KT2440 transformed with pcaA1A2 obtained phenazine-1-carboxylic acid degradation ability, suggesting that phenazine-1-carboxylic acid 1,2-dioxygenase has low specificities for its ferredoxin and reductase. This was verified by replacing PcaA3 with RedA2 in the in vitro enzyme assay. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis showed that phenazine-1-carboxylic acid was converted to 1,2-dihydroxyphenazine through decarboxylation and hydroxylation, indicating that PcaA1A2A3A4 constitutes the initial phenazine-1-carboxylic acid 1,2-dioxygenase. This study fills a gap in our understanding of the biodegradation of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and illustrates a new dioxygenase for decarboxylation.IMPORTANCE Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid is widely used in southern China as a key fungicide to prevent rice sheath blight. However, the degradation characteristics of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and the environmental consequences of the long-term application are not clear. S. wittichii DP58 can use phenazine-1-carboxylic acid as its sole carbon and nitrogen sources. In this study, a three-component dioxygenase, PcaA1A2A3A4, was determined to be the initial dioxygenase for phenazine-1-carboxylic acid degradation in S. wittichii DP58. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid was converted to 1,2-dihydroxyphenazine through decarboxylation and hydroxylation. This finding may help us discover the pathway for phenazine-1-carboxylic acid degradation.

Abstract
Rice bacterial leaf blight, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, and rice bacterial leaf streak, caused by X. oryzae pv. oryzicola, are major diseases of rice. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is a natural product that is isolated from Pseudomonas spp. and is used to control many important rice diseases in China. We previously reported that PCA disturbs the redox balance, which results in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in X. oryzae pv. oryzae. In this study, we found that PCA significantly upregulated the transcript levels of catB and katE, which encode catalases, and that PCA sensitivity was reduced when X. oryzae pvs. oryzae and oryzicola were cultured with exogenous catalase. Furthermore, catB deletion mutants of X. oryzae pvs. oryzae and oryzicola showed dramatically decreased total catalase activity, increased sensitivity to PCA, and reduced virulence in rice. In contrast, deletion mutants of srpA and katG, which also encode catalases, exhibited little change in PCA sensitivity. The results indicate that catB in both X. oryzae pvs. oryzae and oryzicola encodes a catalase that helps protect the bacteria against PCA-induced stress.
