Agronomy, Vol. 14, Pages 1062: In Vitro Screening of Endophytic Micromonospora Strains Associated with White Clover for Antimicrobial Activity against Phytopathogenic Fungi and Promotion of Plant Growth

Bacteria belonging to the genus Micromonospora are recognized as microorganisms with the potential to be used in biotechnology processes, given their beneficial influence on plant growth and the biocontrol of phytopathogens. In this study, nineteen Micromonospora isolates originating from the root nodules of white clover plants were taxonomically assigned based on the phylogenetic analysis of the 16S #rRNA gene and four housekeeping genes. The antifungal properties of the bacteria against phytopathogenic Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium equiseti, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Verticillium albo-atrum were tested with the agar plug test and the dual culture test. The ability to produce various metallophores was determined with the agar plug diffusion test on modified chrome azurol S (CAS) agar medium. International Streptomyces Project-2 medium (ISP2) broth amended with 0.2% L-tryptophan was used to indicate the bacterial ability to produce auxins. The strains belonging to M. tulbaghiae, M. inaquosa, and M. violae showed in vitro potential as antimicrobial agents against the tested fungi. M. inaquosa strain 152, M. violae strain 126, M. violae strain 66, and M. violae strain 45 were recognized as the most efficient metallophore producers. M. alfalfae strain 55 and M. lupini strain 5052 were identified as the most promising auxin compound producers and, therefore, show potential as plant-growth-promoting bacteria. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4395/14/5/1062?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Time-resolved transcriptomics reveal a mechanism of host niche defense: beneficial root endophytes deploy a host-protective antimicrobial GH18-CBM5 chitinase

Associations between plants and beneficial root-endophytic fungi enhance plant performance by improving nutrient uptake, abiotic stress tolerance and disease resistance. To successfully colonize different host plants and defend their host niche against competing microbes, but also to cooperate with beneficial bacterial members of the microbiota, root endophytes such as Sebacinales secrete a multitude of tightly regulated effector-proteins and carbohydrate-active enzymes. However, the functions, specificity, and regulation of these proteins remain poorly understood. In this study, we employ time-resolved transcriptomics to analyse the gene expression profiles of two Sebacinales members interacting with organisms from different kingdoms of life. We identified crucial genes for plant colonization and intermicrobial competition, including a fungal GH18-CBM5 chitinase specifically upregulated in response to the phytopathogenic fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana. This chitinase protects the plant hosts against the pathogen, reducing fungal biomass and disease symptoms in barley and Arabidopsis thaliana. Our findings shed light on interaction partner specific gene expression in Sebacinales endophytes, with potential applications in enhancing plant health and resilience. http://dlvr.it/T0mJZR

Complement each other Chitosan & mycorrhiza

Researchers are studying the effects of chitosan on mycorrhiza. Good effects on mycorrhizal and root systems of related plants can be observed, leading to healthier crops growth and fruiting.The enzyme-resistant enzymes (chitinase) produced by plants are particularly effective against the phytopathogenic fungi cell wall, but they don’t have such function against the cell wall of mycorrhiza.

It would be no harmful increase in the mycorrhiza, chitinase after observing the soil chitosan-treated. The increasing in lignification of plant cell walls after treatment with chitosan can defend the mycorrhizal fungi of arbuscular or ectodermal layers, because both of them were contacting the side roots of plants near the root crown, meanwhile the rhizomes are completed and form the root hairs.

Regarding the root, the ectoderm has not been lignified, so the mycorrhiza can bind unhindered with the root layer of the crops.
