Chromobacterium sp. strain C61 has strong biocontrol activity; however, the genetic and biochemical determinants of its plant disease suppression activity are not well understood. Here, we report the identification and characterization of two new determinants of its biocontrol activity. Transposon mutagenesis was used to identify mutants that were deficient in fungal suppression. One of these mutants had an insertion in a homologue of depD, a structural gene in the dep operon, that encodes a protein involved in non‐ribosomal peptide synthesis. In the second mutant, the insertion was in a homologue of the luxI gene, which encodes a homoserine lactone synthase. The luxI– and depD– mutants had no antifungal activity in vitro and a dramatically reduced capacity to suppress various plant diseases in planta. Antifungal production and biocontrol were restored by complementation of the luxI– mutant. Other phenotypes associated with effective biological control, including motility and lytic enzyme secretion, were also affected by the luxI mutation. Biochemical analysis of ethyl acetate extracts of culture filtrates of the mutant and wild‐type strains showed that a key antifungal compound, chromobactomycin, was produced by wild‐type C61 and the complemented luxI– mutant, but not by the luxI– or depD– mutant. These data suggest that multiple biocontrol‐related phenotypes are regulated by homoserine lactones in C61. Thus, quorum sensing plays an essential role in the biological control potential of diverse bacterial lineages. 相似文献

A novel, highly chitinolytic strain of Alcaligenes xylosoxydans was isolated which showed potential for use as an antifungal biocontrol agent for the control of two fungal plant pathogens. It could degrade and utilize dead mycelia of Rhizoctonia bataticola and Fusarium sp. (fungal plant pathogens of Cajanus cajan). In vitro it could inhibit the growth of Fusarium sp. and R. bataticola. Chitin at 10–15 g/l was found to be good carbon and nitrogen source. Alcaligenes xylosoxydans showed optimum chitinase production at 72 h, pH optima at 8 and growth peak at 120 h. Yeast extract, arabinose, Tween 20 and several other surfactants enhanced chitinase production. 相似文献

A gene encoding an alkaline (pI of 8.67) chitinase was cloned and sequenced from Chromobacterium sp. strain C-61. The gene was composed of 1,611 nucleotides and encoded a signal sequence of 26 N-terminal amino acids and
a mature protein of 510 amino acids. Two chitinases of 54 and 52 kDa from both recombinant Escherichia coli and C-61 were detected on SDS-PAGE. Maximum chitinase activity was obtained in the culture supernatant of recombinant E. coli when cultivated in TB medium for 6 days at 37°C and was about fourfold higher than that from C-61. Chi54 from the culture
supernatants could be purified by a single step based on isoelectric point. The purified Chi54 had about twofold higher binding
affinity to chitin than to cellulose. The chi54 encoded a protein that included a type 3 chitin-binding domain belonging to group A and a family 18 catalytic domain belonging
to subfamily A. In the catalytic domain, mutation of perfectly conserved residues and highly conserved residues resulted in
loss of nearly all activity, while mutation of nonconserved residues resulted in enzymes that retained activity. In this process,
a mutant (T218S) was obtained that had about 133% of the activity of the wild type, based on comparison of K
cat values. 相似文献

Streptomyces violaceusniger strain YCED-9 is an antifungal biocontrol agent antagonistic to many different classes of plant pathogenic fungi. We discovered
that strain YCED-9 produces three antimicrobial compounds with antifungal activity. These compounds were purified and identified,
and included: AFA (Anti-Fusarium Activity), a fungicidal complex of polyene-like compounds similar to guanidylfungin A and
active against most fungi except oomycetes; nigericin, a fungistatic polyether; and geldanamycin, a benzoquinoid polyketide
highly inhibitory of mycelial growth of Pythium and Phytophthora spp. Antimicrobial assays were developed to estimate the production of each antibiotic independently. Medium composition
had differential effects on the production of each metabolite. The hydrolytic enzymes chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase are also
produced under induction by colloidal chitin and laminarin, respectively. Fungal cell walls induced the production of both
enzymes. A potential for biological control of diseases caused by P. infestans was also suggested by strain YCED-9’s strong in vitro antagonism towards pathogenic isolates of this fungus.

Serratia marcescens, strain SR1 was isolated from the local soil of a cultivated farm and it was screened as potent strain for chitinase production. Maximum
chitinase production (77.3 u Mh−1 100−1) was observed after 96 h of incubation period with pH 5.5 at 30°C under shake conditions (120 rpm). Compare to still flasks,
shake culture with prawn fish colloidal chitin of 0.5% (w/v) concentration, showed a better enzyme yield. Crude enzyme showed
antifungal activity against plant pathogens. 相似文献

Aims: Biological sources for the control of plant pathogenic fungi remain an important objective for sustainable agricultural practices. Actinomycetes are used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry and agriculture owing to their great diversity in enzyme production. In the present study, therefore, we evaluated chitinase production by endophytic actinomycetes and the potential of this for control of phytopathogenic fungi. Methods and Results: Endophytic Streptomyces were grown on minimum medium supplemented with chitin, and chitinase production was quantified. The strains were screened for any activity towards phytopathogenic fungi and oomycetes by a dual‐culture in vitro assay. The correlation between chitinase production and pathogen inhibition was calculated and further confirmed on Colletotrichum sublineolum cell walls by scanning electron microscopy. Conclusions: This paper reports a genetic correlation between chitinase production and the biocontrol potential of endophytic actinomycetes in an antagonistic interaction with different phytopathogens, suggesting that this control could occur inside the host plant. Significance and Impact of the Study: A genetic correlation between chitinase production and pathogen inhibition was demonstrated. Our results provide an enhanced understanding of endophytic Streptomyces and its potential as a biocontrol agent. The implications and applications of these data for biocontrol are discussed. 相似文献

Indigenous actinomycetes isolated from rhizosphere soils were assessed for in vitro antagonism against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Sclerotium rolfsii. A potent antagonist against both plant pathogenic fungi, designated SRA14, was selected and identified as Streptomyces hygroscopicus. The strain SRA14 highly produced extracellular chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase during the exponential and late exponential phases, respectively. Culture filtrates collected from the exponential and stationary phases inhibited the growth of both the fungi tested, indicating that growth suppression was due to extracellular antifungal metabolites present in culture filtrates. The percentage of growth inhibition by the stationary culture filtrate was significantly higher than that of exponential culture filtrate. Morphological changes such as hyphal swelling and abnormal shapes were observed in fungi grown on potato dextrose agar that contained the culture filtrates. However, the antifungal activity of exponential culture filtrates against both the experimental fungi was significantly reduced after boiling or treatment with proteinase K. There was no significant decrease in the percentage of fungal growth inhibition by the stationary culture filtrate that was treated as above. These data indicated that the antifungal potential of the exponential culture filtrate was mainly due to the presence of extracellular chitinase enzyme, whereas the antifungal activity of the stationary culture filtrate involved the action of unknown thermostable antifungal compound(s). 相似文献

Purification, Characterization, and Antifungal Activity of Chitinase from Streptomyces venezuelae P10 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Streptomyces venezuelae P10 could produce extracellular chitinase in a medium containing 0.6% colloidal chitin that was fermented for 96 hours at 30°C.
The enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity with 80% saturation of ammonium sulfate as shown by chitin affinity chromatography
and DEAE-cellulose anion-exchange chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of
the enzyme showed a molecular weight of 66 kDa. The chitinase was characterized, and antifungal activity was observed against
phytopathogens. Also, the first 15 N-terminal amino-acid residues of the chitinase were determined. The chitin hydrolysed
products were N-acetylglucosamine and N, N’-diacetylchitobiose. 相似文献

An extracellular chitinase from Streptomyces halstedii AJ-7, a broad spectrum antifungal biocontrol agent, was characterized and purified. The apparent molecular weight of the
purified protein was 55 kDa, Km value and Vmax of the protein for colloidal chitin were 3.2 mg ml−1 and 118 μmol h−1, respectively. The growth and chitinase activity of S. halstedii AJ−7 were enhanced by adding of 0.1% killed mycelium of Fusarium oxysporium in a medium containing 0.2% colloidal chitin. 相似文献

We isolated 137 fungal strains from females and eggs of Meloidogyne spp. collected from plant roots and infested soil in Jiangsu, China, and examined their in vitro protease production and chitinase activities. We then selected 20 strains, each with a protease production higher than 2 (protease production was measured as the ratio of diameters of the zone of clearing to that of the colony) and a chitinase activity higher than 0.2 U/min mL. For these strains, we examined their egg parasitic rates, mortality rates of stage 2 juvenile (J2), egg hatching rates and evaluated their biocontrol efficacies under greenhouse conditions. The biocontrol efficacies of these 20 potential biocontrol fungal strains ranged from 29 to 58%. The actual biocontrol efficacy against Meloidogyne root-knot was highly correlated with the in vitro protease production (r=0.82), chitinase activity (r=0.80), and mortality of J2 (r=0.76), but poorly correlated with the egg parasitic rate (r=0.51) and the egg hatch rate (r=0.52). Based on these results, we suggest that in vitro protease production or chitinase activities of the fungal strains could be an applicable indicator for assessing biocontrol efficacy against nematodes. This notion was also supported by our field experiments on tomatoes with Paecilomyces lilacinus strains XT18, XCS46 and Pochonia chlamydosporia strain XT124, which reached the biocontrol efficacies of 60.7, 51.5 and 48.1% in 2007; and 67.8, 57.3 and 53.2% in 2008, respectively. 相似文献

A new alkalophilic low-molecular-mass chitinase of 14 kD from the potent biocontrol agent Bacillus subtilis JN032305 was partially purified and enzymology of the chitinase was studied. The enzyme showed optimal pH of 9.0 and temperature of 50°C. The enzyme was found stable during the 60-min incubation at 50°C. The chitinase was inhibited by group specific agents like IAA, DAN, TLCK, and SDS and metal ions Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Ba2+, and Hg2+, whereas Zn2+ did not show significant inhibitory effect against the chitinase. PMSF partially inhibited the enzyme. Substrates specificity tests indicated that the enzyme showed 75% of relative activity on glycol chitin, 58% on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), 33% on chitin flakes, and 166% laminarin compared to that on colloidal chitin. The enzyme also hydrolyzed 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminide, indicating its chitobiase activity. The chitinase of this study has broad specificity, which could hydrolyze not only the glycosidic bond in GlcNAc–GlcNAc but also that of related carbohydrates with glycosidic linkages. The partially purified chitinase not only showed antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, two potent phytopathogens of chilli, but also increased the germination of chilli seeds when infected with the two potent phytopathogenic fungi. 相似文献

Summary Decomposition of chitin by Cytophaga johnsonii was investigated. Unlike other chitinolytic bacteria, some strains of C. johnsonii did not liberate chitinase extracellularly; instead the cells of such strains had need for close contact with the chitin particles in order to hydrolyze them. The cell-free extract of one of these strains, viz., C. johnsonii C35 did show presence of chitinase. The remaining strains liberated an extracellular chitinase and a chitobiase. The partially purified chitinase from the culture filtrates of C. johnsonii C31 was most active at pH 6.3–6.5 and at 40°C.Metabolism of N-acetylglucosamine, a product of chitin hydrolysis, by C. johnsonii C35 and C31 was investigated. The nature of some of the products formed and the steps involved in their transformations by the resting cells and the cell-free extracts suggested that N-acetylglucosamine first gets deacetylated to glucosamine before it is further oxidized to glucosaminic acid by these strains. Both strains were also able to dehydrogenate gluconate to 2-ketogluconate, the former being in all probability the product of deamination of glucosaminic acid. 相似文献

Chitinases have the ability of chitin digestion that constitutes a main compound of the cell wall in many of the phytopathogens such as fungi. Chitinase Chit42 from Trichoderma atroviride PTCC5220 is considered to play an important role in the biocontrol activity of this fungus against plant pathogens. Chit42 lacks a chitin binding domain (ChBD). We have produced a chimeric chitinase with stronger chitin-binding capacity by fusing to Chit42 a ChBD from Serratia marcescens Chitinase B. The fusion of ChBD improved the affinity to crystalline and colloidal chitin and also the enzyme activity of the chimeric chitinase when compared with the native Chit42. The chimeric chitinase showed higher antifungal activity toward phytopathogenic fungi. 相似文献

Influences on the acetylation degree of chitin manifested by proteins from cultural filtrates of strains of the fungus Septoria nodorum different in aggressiveness and of extracts from leaves of the susceptible (Triticum aestivum) and resistant (Triticum timopheevii) wheat plants infected with these strains were studied. Chitin deacetylase was found among the extracellular proteins of
the fungus. Its activity was higher in the aggressive strain of the fungus than in the non-aggressive one, and this suggested
that this enzyme could play an important role in the further formation of compatible relationship of the pathogens with the
plants. Protein extracts from the susceptible wheat seedlings infected with the septoriosis agent also contained a component
decreasing the acetylation degree of chitin. Protein extracts from the resistant wheat seedlings increased the chitin acetylation
degree. It is supposed that this can be a pattern of the plant counteracting the action of chitin deacetylases of the pathogen. 相似文献

During the previous decade, chitinases have received increased attention because of their wide range of applications. Chito-oligomers produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin have been of interest in recent years because of their broad applications in medical, agricultural, and industrial applications, such as antibacterial, antifungal, hypo cholesterolemic, and antihypertensive activity, and as food quality enhancer. Fungal cell walls being rich in chitin also enable the use of chitinases in biocontrol of fungal pathogens, as bio-fungicides. An actinomycete was isolated from the bark of trees of Dehradun in India and was later identified as Streptomyces violaceusniger. This strain exhibits strong antagonism towards various wood-rotting fungi, such as Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Postia placenta, Coriolus versicolor, and Gloeophyllum trabeum. Further, studies showed an extracellular bioactive compound was responsible for the antagonism. The conditions for the production of this biocontrol agent were optimized, and the effects of various stress factors (like nitrogen-deficient media, carbon-deficient media, etc.) were studied. The presence of chitin in the growth media was found to be an essential factor for the active production of the biocontrol agent. The pH and temperature optima for the biocontrol agent were determined. Purification and characterization of this specific biocontrol agent was performed through anion exchange chromatography using a DEAE-cellulose column, and a single protein band was obtained on a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. The protein was later identified as a 28 kDa endo chitinase by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight) and by a chitobiose activity assay. 相似文献

An actively antagonistic bacterium that could be used as a biocontrol agent against Fusarium solani, which causes root rots with considerable losses in many important crops, was isolated from a ginseng rhizosphere and identified as a strain of Pseudomonas stutzeri. In several biochemical tests with culture filtrates of P. stutzeri YPL-1 and in mutational analyses of antifungal activities of reinforced or defective mutants, we found that the anti-F. solani mechanism of the bacterium may involve a lytic enzyme rather than a toxic substance or antibiotic. P. stutzeri YPL-1 produced extracellular chitinase and laminarinase when grown on different polymers such as chitin, laminarin, or F. solani mycelium. These lytic extracellular enzymes markedly inhibited mycelial growth rather than spore germination and also caused lysis of F. solani mycelia and germ tubes. Scanning electron microscopy revealed degradation of the F. solani mycelium. Abnormal hyphal swelling and retreating were caused by the lysing agents from P. stutzeri YPL-1, and a penetration hole was formed on the hyphae in the region of interaction with the bacterium; the walls of this region were rapidly lysed, causing leakage of protoplasm. Genetically bred P. stutzeri YPL-1 was obtained by transformation of the bacterium with a broad-host-range vector, pKT230. Also, the best conditions for the transformation were investigated. 相似文献

生物农药由于具有良好的生态效应和安全性,因此比化学农药更受到人们的青睐,生物农药的发展契合低碳、循环、清洁绿色经济发展理念。因此,寻求利于食品安全和环境保护,同时高效控制植物病害的新型生物农药成为时下及未来研究的热点。链霉菌以产生纳他霉素等抗生素起到生防作用。链霉菌株A01-chit33CT既可以产生纳他霉素又可以高表达几丁质酶活,生防效果大大增加。为确定链霉菌A01-chit33CT产纳他霉素和几丁质酶协同表达的发酵条件,初步探索了碳氮源和发酵条件对菌株产生纳他霉素和几丁质酶的影响。结果表明,葡萄糖促进纳他霉素的产生而抑制几丁质酶的表达,因此分两阶段添加葡萄糖和几丁质粉来达到二者协同表达。研究确定最佳发酵培养基为:葡萄糖40 g/L,几丁质粉10 g/L(发酵4 d添加),黄豆粉30 g/L,大豆蛋白胨10 g/L,CaCO35 g/L,MgSO4.7H2O 0.5 g/L,K2HPO40.5 g/L。最优发酵条件为:初始pH 6.0,温度28℃,转速180 r/min。在此条件下,链霉菌A01-chit33CT产纳他霉素达1.52 g/L,同时几丁质酶活达990 U/ml,二者比优化前的水平分别提高了1.95倍和2.27倍。 相似文献

Vibrio alginolyticus, Streptomyces griseus, Arthrobacter G12, Bacillus sp. and Cytophaga sp. were grown on solid and liquid media containing soluble and insoluble carbon sources. Arthrobacter G12, Bacillus sp. and Cytophaga sp. grew well on media which contained fungal cell walls or fungal biomass as the main carbon source. All bacteria produced extracellular proteases and all bacteria except Arthrobacter G12 produced extracellular chitinases. Growth of Cytophaga sp. on colloidal chitin was paralleled by the accumulated chitinase activity in the culture filtrate, and growth of Cytophaga sp. and Arthrobacter G12 on cell walls of Geotrichum candidum and cell walls of Candida pseudotropicalis was paralleled by the accumulation of laminarinase activity in the culture filtrate, but little or no extracellular chitinase activity was observed in these cultures. Mycolases purified from the culture filtrates of Cytophaga sp. grown on colloidal chitin on cell walls of C. pseudotropicalis potentiated the antifungal activity of amphotericin B. 相似文献

Chitinolytic marine bacterial strains (30) were isolated from the sea dumps at Bhavnagar, India. They were screened as chitinase producers on the basis of zone of clearance on chitin agar plates incorporated with calcofluor white M2R for the better resolution. Out of these, three strains namely, Pseudomonas sp., Pantoea dispersa and Enterobacter amnigenus showed high chitinase production. They were also found to produce proteases and therefore have a good potential for use as antifungal biocontrol agents for the control of fungal plant pathogens. These strains could degrade and utilize the mycelia of Macrophomina phaseoliena (Tassi) Goidanich and Fusarium sp. In vitro, these strains could inhibit the growth of Fusarium sp. and M. phaseolina. The culture filtrate inhibiting hyphal elongation was observed microscopically. 相似文献
