Sugarcane smut is a fungal disease caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, which can cause severe economic losses in sugarcane industry. The infection depends on the mating of bipolar sporida to form a dikaryon and develops into hyphae to penetrate the meristematic tissue of sugarcane. In this study, we set to isolate bacterial strains capable of blocking the fungal mating and evaluate their potential in control of sugarcane smut disease. A bacterial isolate ST4 from rhizosphere displayed potent inhibitory ...

Abstract Dickeya zeae is the causal agent of rice foot rot disease, which has recently become a great threat to rice planting countries and regions. The pathogen produces a family of phytotoxins named zeamines that is critical for bacterial virulence, but little is known about the signaling pathways and regulatory mechanisms that govern zeamine production. In this study, we showed that a conserved transcriptional regulator Fis is involved in the regulation of zeamine production in D. zeae strain ...

Persistent use of permethrin has resulted in its ubiquitous presence as a contaminant in surface streams and soils, yet little is known about the kinetics and metabolic behaviors of this pesticide. In this study, a novel bacterial strain Acinetobacter baumannii ZH-14 utilizing permethrin via partial hydrolysis pathways was isolated from sewage sludge. Response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken design of cultural conditions was used for optimization resulting in 100% degradation of permethrin ( ...

Beta-cypermethrin is one of the widely used pyrethroid insecticides, and problems associated with the accumulation of its residues have aroused public attention. Thus, there is an urgent need to effectively remove the beta-cypermethrin that is present in the environment. Biodegradation is considered a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for removing pesticide residues. However, the beta-cypermethrin-degrading microbes that are currently available are not optimal. In this study, Pseudomonas ...

Dickeya zeae strain EC1 was recently shown to produce a new type of phytotoxins designated as zeamine and zeamine II, which are potent wide-spectrum antibiotics against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, suggesting their promising potential as clinical medicines. In this study, the optimized medium composition and culture conditions for biosynthesis of novel antibiotics zeamines have been established by using response surface methodology, largely increasing the yield of zeamines ...

Dickeya zeae is a bacterial species that infects monocotyledons and dicotyledons. Two antibiotic-like phytotoxins named zeamine and zeamine II were reported to play an important role in rice seed germination, and two genes associated with zeamines production, i.e., zmsA and zmsK, have been thoroughly characterized. However, other virulence factors and its molecular mechanisms of host specificity and pathogenesis are hardly known.The complete genome of D. zeae strain EC1 isolated from diseased rice ...

Abstract Zeamines (ZMS), a class of polyamine-polyketide-nonribosomal peptide produced by bacterial isolate Dickeya zeae , were shown recently to be potent antibiotics against some bacterial pathogens. In this study, the results indicated that ZMS showed antifungal activity against Peronophythora litchii and other fungal pathogens. The activity of ZMS against the oomycete pathogen P. litchi , which causes the devastating litchi downy blight, was further investigated under in vitro and in vivo conditions. ...

The frequent outbreaks of rice foot rot disease caused by Dickeya zeae have become a significant concern in rice planting regions and countries, but the regulatory mechanisms that govern the virulence of this important pathogen remain vague. Given that the second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is associated with modulation of various virulence-related traits in various microorganisms, here we set to investigate the role of the genes encoding c-di-GMP metabolism in the regulation of the bacterial ...

Summary Dickeya zeae is a causal agent of rice root rot disease. The pathogen is known to produce a range of virulence factors, including phytotoxic zeamines and extracellular enzymes, but the mechanisms of virulence regulation remain vague. In this study, we identified a SlyA/MarR family transcription factor SlyA in D. zeae strain EC1. Disruption of slyA significantly decreased zeamine production, enhanced swimming and swarming motility, reduced biofilm formation and significantly decreased pathogenicity ...

Summary Sexual mating of compatible sporida is essential for Sporisorium scitamineum to form dikaryotic mycelia and then cause infection on sugarcane. Our previous work identified a Pseudomonas sp. ST 4 from a soil sample, which showed a promising biocontrol potential by inhibiting the mating of S. scitamineum sporida and hyphal growth. In this study, we set to isolate the active compounds from Pseudomonas sp. ST 4 through solid fermentation. High‐performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) separation ...

Quorum quenching, which disrupts quorum sensing (QS) by either degradation of QS signals or interference of signal generation or perception, is a promising strategy for the prevention and control of QS-mediated bacterial infections. Diffusible signal factor (DSF) is widely conserved in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. In this study, we developed an efficient method for screening of highly active DSF degradation microorganisms. Among them, Pseudomonas sp. strain HS-18 showed a superior DSF degradation ...

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widely conserved bacterial regulatory mechanism that relies on production and perception of autoinducing chemical signals to coordinate diverse cooperative activities, such as virulence, exoenzyme secretion, and biofilm formation. In Ralstonia solanacearum, a phytopathogen causing severe bacterial wilt diseases in many plant species, previous studies identified the PhcBSR QS system, which plays a key role in regulation of its physiology and virulence. In this study, we found ...

N-Acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) and diffusible signal factor (DSF) molecules are two families of widely conserved quorum sensing (QS) signals. Quorum quenching (QQ) via enzymatic inactivation of QS signals is a promising strategy of biocontrol. In the search for biocontrol agent quenching both AHL and DSF signals, it has been recently identified that DSF-quenching biocontrol agent Pseudomonas sp. HS-18 contains at least three genes (aigA, aigB, and aigC) encoding AHL-acylases displaying strong AHL-acylase ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that involves multiple organ systems. One of its major complications, lupus nephritis (LN), is associated with a high mortality rate, and children-onset LN have a more severe course and worse prognosis than adults. Oxidative stress and inflammatory responses are involved in LN development and pathogenesis. Thus, this study aimed to explore the role of signaling regulation of the Nrf2/HMGB1/TLR/NF-κB pathway in LN pathogenesis and unravel the expression ...

Activation of cells intrinsic to the vessel wall is central to the initiation and progression of vascular inflammation. As the dominant cellular constituent of the vessel wall, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and their functions are critical determinants of vascular disease. While factors that regulate VSMC proliferation and migration have been identified, the endogenous regulators of VSMC proinflammatory activation remain incompletely defined. The Kruppel-like family of transcription factors ( ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause various types of infections and is one of the most ubiquitous antibiotic-resistant pathogens found in healthcare settings. It is capable of adapting to adverse conditions by transforming its motile lifestyle to a sessile biofilm lifestyle, which induces a steady state of chronic infection. However, mechanisms triggering the lifestyle transition of P. aeruginosa strains with clinical significance are not very clear. In this study, we reported a recently isolated uropathogenic ...
