Chitinolytic activities in Bacillus thuringiensis and their synergistic effects on larvicidal activity

AIMS: To investigate the distribution of chitinase in Bacillus thuringiensis strains, and the enhancing effects of the chitinase-producing B. thuringiensis strains on insecticidal toxicity of active B. thuringiensis strain against Spodoptera exigua larvae. METHODS AND RESULTS: The chitinolytic activities of B.thuringiensis strains representing the 70 serotypes were investigated by the whitish opaque halo and the colorimetric method. Thirty-eight strains produced different levels of chitinase at pH 7.0, and so did 17 strains at pH 10.0. The strain T04A001 exhibited the highest production, reaching a specific activity of 355 U ml(-1) in liquid medium. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting showed that the chitinase produced by some B. thuringiensis strains had a molecular weight of about 61 kDa. The bioassay results indicated that the chitinase-producing B. thuringiensis strains could enhance the insecticidal activity of B. thuringiensis strain DL5789 against S. exigua larvae, with an enhancing ratio of 2.35-fold. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that chitinase was widely produced in B. thuringiensis strains and some of the strains could enhance the toxicity of active B. thuringiensis strain. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first investigation devoted exclusively to analyse the distribution of chitinase in B. thuringiensis. It infers that the chitinase produced by B. thuringiensis might play a role in the activity of the biopesticide.     

Expression of a Serratia marcescens chitinase gene in Sinorhizobium fredii USDA191 and Sinorhizobium meliloti RCR2011 impedes soybean and alfalfa nodulation.

A gene encoding chitinase from Serratia marcescens BJL200 was cloned into a broad-host-range vector (pRK415) and mobilized into Sinorhizobium fredii USDA191. Chitinolytic activity was detected in S. fredii USDA191 transconjugants that carried the S. marcescens chiB gene. Chitinase-producing S. fredii USDA191 formed nodules on soybean cultivar McCall. However, there was a delay in nodule formation and a marked decrease in the total number of nodules formed by the chitinase-producing S. fredii in comparison with the wild-type strain. Expression of chitinase in S. meliloti RCR2011 also impeded alfalfa nodulation. Thin-layer chromatography of 14C-labeled Nod factors from chitinase-producing S. fredii USDA191 revealed hydrolysis of lipochitooligosaccharides.     

Solid-state cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis R 176 with shrimp shells and rice straw as a substrate for chitinase production

In this study, shrimp shell powder, prepared by treating shrimp-processing waste by boiling and crushing, was used as a substrate for isolation of chitinase-producing microorganism. These organisms may have an important economic role in the biological control of rice and other fungal pathogens. Two hundred strains of bacteria with the ability to degrade chitin from shrimp shell waste were isolated from paddy soil, and of these, 40 strains showed chitinase activity in a solid state cultivation. One of the most potent isolates (strain R 176) was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis. Identification was carried out using morphological and biochemical properties along with 16S rRNA sequence analysis. This strain was able to produce high levels of extracellular chitinase in solid media containing shrimp shells as sole carbon source [1.36 U/g initial dry substrate (IDS)], which was 0.36-fold higher than the productivity in a liquid culture with colloidal chitin. The effects of medium composition and physical parameters on chitinase production by this organism were studied. The optimal medium contained shrimp shell mixed with rice straw in 1:1 ratio added with ball-milled chitin 0.5 % (w/v) and ammonium sulfate 0.5 % (w/v). The highest enzyme production (3.86 U/g IDS) by B. thuringiensis R 176 was obtained at pH 7, 37 °C after 14 days growth. With respect to the high amount of chitinase production by this strain in a simple medium, this strain could be a suitable candidate for the production of chitinase from chitinous solid substrates, and further investigations into its structure and characteristics are merited.     

Molecular characterization of a novel chitinase from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki

AIMS: The present work aims to study a new chitinase from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. METHODS AND RESULTS: BUPM255 is a chitinase-producing strain of B. thuringiensis, characterized by its high chitinolytic and antifungal activities. The cloning and sequencing of the corresponding gene named chi255 showed an open reading frame of 2031 bp, encoding a 676 amino acid residue protein. Both nucleotide and amino acid sequences similarity analyses revealed that the chi255 is a new chitinase gene, presenting several differences from the published chi genes of B. thuringiensis. The identification of chitin hydrolysis products resulting from the activity, exhibited by Chi255 through heterologous expression in Escherichia coli revealed that this enzyme is a chitobiosidase. CONCLUSIONS: Another chitinase named Chi255 belonging to chitobiosidase class was evidenced in B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and was shown to present several differences in its amino acid sequence with those of published ones. The functionality of Chi255 was proved by the heterologous expression of chi255 in E. coli. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The addition of the sequence of chi255 to the few sequenced B. thuringiensis chi genes might contribute to a better investigation of the chitinase 'structure-function' relation.

An antifungal chitinase produced by Bacillus cereus with shrimp and crab shell powder as a carbon source

The production of inexpensive chitinolytic enzymes is an element in the utilization of shellfish processing wastes. In this study, shrimp and crab shell powder prepared by treating shrimp and crab processing wastes with boiling and crushing was used as a substrate for the isolation of an antifungal chitinase-producing microorganism. Bacillus cereus YQ 308, a strain isolated from the soil samples, excreted one chitinase when cultured in a medium containing 2% (wt/vol) shrimp and crab shell powder as major carbon source. The chitinase, purified by sequential chromatography, had an Mr of 48 kDa and pI of 5.2. The purified chitinase (2 mg/ml) inhibited the hyphal extension of the fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Pythium ultimum.     

An antifungal chitinase produced by Bacillus subtilis using chitin waste as a carbon source

The production of inexpensive chitinolytic enzymes is an element in the utilization of shellfish-processing waste. In this study, shrimp and crab shell powder, prepared by treating shrimp- and crab-processing waste by boiling and crushing, was used as a substrate for the isolation of an antifungal chitinase-producing microorganism. Bacillus subtilis NPU 001, a strain isolated from soil samples, excreted a chitinase when cultured in a medium containing 2% (w/v) shrimp and crab shell powder as the major carbon source. The chitinase, which was purified by sequential chromatography, had a Mw of 31 kDa and a pI of 5.4. The purified chitinase (2 mg ml⁻¹) inhibited hyphal extension of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum. Compared with other known bacterial chitinases, the unique characteristics of NPU 001 chitinase include antifungal activity against plant-pathogenic fungi and the production of chitotriose as the major enzymatic hydrolysate from colloidal chitin.     

Production of Chitinase and its Optimization from a Novel Isolate <Emphasis Type="Italic">Serratia marcescens</Emphasis> XJ-01

Production of chitinase from bacteria has distinct advantages over fungi, due to the formation of mycelia of fungi in the later phase of fermentation. A novel chitinase-producing bacterial strain XJ-01 was isolated from the Yulu fishing field of Changsha, Hunan province, China, by enrichment and spread-plate technique, sequentially. Physicochemical characterization and 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that strain XJ-01 belongs to Serratia marcescens. By optimizing the fermentation condition based on L₉(3⁴) orthogonal experimental design, a maximal chitinase activity up to 15.36 U/ml was attained by that stain under the condition: 0.5% (NH₄)₂SO₄ as the nitrogen source, 0.75% colloidal chitin as the carbon source, temperature of 32°C, time of 32 h and pH 8.0.     

莱氏野村菌紫外线诱变抗敌敌畏菌株的生理特性

【背景】夜蛾科害虫易对化学杀虫剂产生高抗性,但一些化学农药可以对部分虫生真菌的毒力作用效果起增幅作用,目前缺乏对莱氏野村菌(Nomuraea rileyi)的该方面研究。【目的】探究对常用有机磷杀虫剂敌敌畏具有较强耐药性的紫外线诱变莱氏野村菌突变菌株的生理特性,包括菌丝生长、产孢情况和产几丁质酶活性。【方法】在紫外线诱变莱氏野村菌结合药剂驯化筛选出的突变株Nr-UVY1和Nr-UVY6基础上,以添加不同含量敌敌畏的平板培养基对突变株进行菌丝生长抑制率、继代产孢量、几丁质酶活性测定。【结果】在含1291mg/L敌敌畏的培养基上,敌敌畏对出发菌株菌丝生长抑制率达到100%,突变株Nr-UVY1(42.38%)和Nr-UVY6(37.01%)均远低于出发菌株。处理浓度大于1291 mg/L时,2株突变株的菌丝生长抑制率曲线平稳上升且远低于出发菌株,说明突变株对敌敌畏的抗药性显著且稳定。在各浓度敌敌畏含量的培养基上,突变株Nr-UVY6得到的菌丝抑制率均小于Nr-UVY1,说明突变株Nr-UVY6对敌敌畏的抗药性更强。在同样的培养条件下,2株突变株的开始产孢时间略迟于出发菌株。突变株各代的产孢量均明显高于出发菌株,尤其是突变株Nr-UVY6各代的产孢量始终高于出发菌株2倍以上且更稳定。透明圈法测定几丁质酶活性,突变株Nr-UVY6高于Nr-UVY1和出发菌株。【结论】筛选出的经过紫外线诱变的突变菌株对敌敌畏的抗性远高于出发菌株,在生长和繁殖方面表现出更优秀的性状,并且由于其几丁质酶的活性高,可进一步探究其致病性。
