AIMS: Water activity (aw) and pH are probably the most important environmental parameters affecting the activities of mycoparasitic Trichoderma strains. Therefore it is important to collect information on the effects of these factors on mycelial growth and on the in vitro activities of extracellular enzymes involved in nutrient competition (e.g. beta-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase and beta-xylosidase) and mycoparasitism (e.g. N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, trypsin-like protease and chymotrypsin-like protease) of Trichoderma strains with biocontrol potential. METHODS AND RESULTS: Water activity and pH dependence of the linear mycelial growth of five examined Trichoderma strains belonging to three different species groups was examined on yeast extract and soil extract media. Maximal growth rates were observed at aw 0.997 and pH 4.0 in the case of all strains. The activities of the examined extracellular enzymes at different aw and pH values were determined spectrophotometrically after incubation with chromogenic p-nitrophenyl and p-nitroaniline substrates. Maximal enzyme activities were measured at aw 0.950 for beta-glucosidase, trypsin-like protease and chymotrypsin-like protease, at 0.910 for cellobiohydrolase and at 0.993 for beta-xylosidase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase enzymes. Optimal pH values are suggested to be at 5.0 for beta-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, at 3.0 for beta-xylosidase, at 6.0 for trypsin-like protease and between 6.0 and 7.0 for chymotrypsin-like protease activities, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Extracellular enzymes of the examined mycoparasitic Trichoderma strains are able to display activities under a wider range of aw and pH values than those allowing mycelial growth. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Data about the effects of aw and pH on mycelial growth and extracellular enzyme activities of Trichoderma reveal useful information about the applicability of biocontrol strains in agricultural soils with specific water and pH relations.  相似文献

Several Trichoderma strains have been reported to be effective in controlling plant diseases, and the action of fungal hydrolytic enzymes is considered as the main mechanism involved in the antagonistic process. Strain Trichoderma harzianum T334 is a potential biocontrol agent against plant pathogenic fungi with the ability to produce low levels of proteases constitutively. To improve its fungal antagonistic capacity, mutagenetic program was undertaken for the construction of protease overproducing derivates. The mutant strains were obtained by means of UV-irradiation and were selected for p-fluorophenyl-alanine resistance or altered colony morphology. It was revealed by means of specific chromogenic protease substrates that both trypsin-like and chymotrypsin-like protease secretion was elevated in most of the mutant strains. The profiles of isoenzymes were different between the mutants and the wild-type strain, when examined by gel filtration chromatography. Certain mutants proved to be better antagonists against plant pathogens in in vitro antagonism experiments. This study suggests the possibility of using mutants with improved constitutive extracellular protease secretion against plant pathogenic fungi.  相似文献

AIMS: The main problem that arises during the cultivation of Lentinula edodes, the Asian Shiitake mushroom, is that the logs on which the cultivation is performed are contaminated by competing micro-organisms, especially Trichoderma spp. The aim of this study was to examine the changes in activity of extracellular enzymes in dual cultures of Trichoderma spp. and L. edodes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Extracellular enzyme activities were determined spectrophotometrically. Trichoderma enzymes important for the degradation of fungal cell walls (N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and laminarinase) were shown to be induced by inactive L. edodes mycelia in liquid culture. The changes that occurred in the extracellular enzyme activities of L. edodes and mycoparasitic Trichoderma spp. (T. aureoviride, T. harzianum and T. viride) were examined during antagonistic interactions on solid medium. The extracellular enzyme patterns of both partners proved to be altered. Trichoderma spp. were induced to produce N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and laminarinase in the presence of active L. edodes mycelia, similarly as observed in liquid culture. The activities of both laccase and manganese peroxidase of L. edodes decreased after physical contact with active Trichoderma mycelia, possibly in consequence of the beginning of degradation of L. edodes by the Trichoderma enzymes. However, besides a decrease in manganese peroxidase activity, an enhancement of L. edodes laccase activity was observed on solid media containing crude culture fluids from Trichoderma liquid cultures. The metabolites responsible for these effects proved to be heat stable. CONCLUSIONS: Induction and inhibition of several extracellular enzymes of both partners were shown in dual cultures of L. edodes and Trichoderma strains, indicating the important role of these enzymes in the antagonistic interaction between the two species. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: As the main problem during the large-scale cultivation of L. edodes is the contamination of the growth substrate by Trichoderma mycelia, the particular knowledge of the mechanism of this competition might be relevant.  相似文献

AIMS: A screening approach was developed to assess the potential of rhizobacterial strains to control Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixty randomly chosen antagonistic bacterial strains originally isolated from rhizosphere of three different host plants of V. dahliae--strawberry, potato and oilseed rape--were evaluated for biocontrol and plant growth promotion by analysing in vitro antagonism towards V. dahliae and other plant pathogenic fungi, production of fungal cell wall-degrading enzymes and plant growth-promoting effects on strawberry seedlings. To test the plant growth-promoting effect, a microplate assay with strawberry seedlings was developed. Although the rhizobacterial strains were isolated from different plants they showed effects on the growth of strawberry seedlings. According to the in vitro biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activity, the three best candidates Pseudomonas putida B E2 (strawberry rhizosphere), Ps. chlororaphis K15 (potato rhizosphere) and Serratia plymuthica R12 (oilseed rape rhizosphere) were selected for greenhouse experiments to verify the in vitro screening results. Under greenhouse conditions the isolates selected according to this strategy were as effective, or more effective than commercial biocontrol agents and may therefore possibly be valuable as antagonists of V. dahliae. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the screening strategy resulted in a selection of three interesting biocontrol candidates against Verticillium: Ps. putida B E2 (strawberry rhizosphere), Ps. chlororaphis K15 (potato rhizosphere) and Ser. plymuthica R12 (oilseed rape rhizosphere). SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: A new combination of in vitro screening methods including a microplate assay with strawberry seedlings to test the plant growth promoting effect which allow to more efficiently select potential biological control agents was developed successfully.  相似文献

The use of the fungal genus Trichoderma to control fungal plant diseases is a promising alternative to the use of chemical compounds. The aim of this work has been to obtain Trichoderma strains with improved capacity as biological control agents. To do so, the hydrolytic capacity on fungal cell walls of strains of the fungus Trichoderma harzianum has been increased. On one hand, transformation experiments with genes which coded for chitinases and glucanases have been carried out in T. harzianumstra ins. On the other hand, the medium composition has also been modified in order to eliminate proteolytic degradation of some of the overproduced enzymes. Finally, hybrid chitinolytic enzymes with substrate-binding domains have been produced as an alternative to obtain improved biocontrol strains. The transformant strains, when compared with the wild type, showed improved antifungal capacity against the phytopathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani, in in vitro experiments.  相似文献

The separate and combined in vitro effects of heavy metal ions (Cu and Zn) at concentrations of 0.1–25 mg/L on the activities of maltase, sucrase, and amylolytic activity in the intestines of bream and roach caught in areas of the Rybinsk Reservoir differing in anthropogenic loads have been studied. In fish from the polluted Sheksninskii Reach, membrane maltase and sucrase enzymes are less sensitive to the effects of Cu and Zn ions than in fish from the relatively clean Volzhskii Reach. On the other hand, starch-hydrolyzing enzymes were more sensitive to the effects of the metals under study in bream from a polluted area, which was especially evident in summer. The combined effect of Cu and Zn ions (1: 1) in most cases weakens the separate effects of these metals on the activities of hydrolases (except for amylolytic activity) in the studied fish.  相似文献

This study investigates the impact of long-term heavy metal contamination on the culturable, heterotrophic, functional and genetic diversity of rhizobacterial communities of perennial grasses in water meadow soil. The culturable heterotrophic diversity was investigated by colony appearance on solid LB medium. Genetic diversity was measured as bands in denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) obtained directly from rhizosphere soil and rhizoplane DNA extracts, and from the corresponding culturable communities. In the two rhizospheric fractions the DGGE profiles of the direct DNA extracts were similar and stable among replicates, whereas in the enriched cultures the profiles of the fractions differed, but among the replicates they were similar. One hundred isolates were collected into 33 different operational taxonomic units by use of amplified internal transcribed spacers and into 19 heavy metal-resistant phenotypes. The phylogenetic position of strains belonging to 18 operational taxonomic units, representing more than 80% of the isolates, was determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Several heavy metal-resistant strains were isolated from rhizoplane. Finally, metal-resistant rhizobacteria were tested for plant growth-promoting characteristics; some were found to contain 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase and/or to produce indole acetic acid and siderophores. Two strains resistant to cadmium and zinc, Pseudomonas tolaasii RP23 and Pseudomonas fluorescens RS9, had all three plant growth-promoting characteristics. Our findings suggest that bacteria can respond to soil metal contamination, and the described methodological approach appears promising for targeting potential plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria.  相似文献

Species belonging to the filamentous fungal genus Trichoderma are well known as potential candidates for the biological control of plant pathogenic fungi and as cellulase producers of biotechnological importance. Several data were published in the last decade also about the clinical importance of this genus, indicating that Trichoderma strains may be potential opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients. However, there is a lack of information about the potential virulence factors of clinical Trichoderma strains. This study was designed to examine the extracellular proteolytic enzymes of six clinical T. longibrachiatum isolates. Supernatants from induced liquid cultures of the examined strains were screened for proteolytic enzyme activities with 11 different chromogenic p-nitroaniline substrates. The production of trypsin-like, chymotrypsin-like and chymoelastase-like protease activities cleaving N-Benzoyl-L-Phe-L-Val-L-Arg-p-nitroanilide, N-Succinyl-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-L-Phe-p-nitroanilide, and N-Succinyl-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Pro-L-Leu-p-nitroanilide, respectively, was common among the strains examined. Separation of trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like activities by column chromatography revealed, that both systems are complex consisting of several isoenzymes. The pH-dependence of these two protease systems was also studied. Based on the results, the different isoenzymes seem to have different optimal pH values. Extracellular proteolytic enzymes may be involved in the pathogenecity of Trichoderma strains as facultative human pathogens.  相似文献

The influence of water potential on linear mycelial growth, secretion, and the in vitro activities of enzymes β-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, β-xylosidase, exochitinase, and chymotrypsin of Trichoderma harzianum strain T66 was studied at different temperatures. Nearly linear correlation was found between water potential and colony growth rate at both 25°C and 10°C, with higher growth rates at the higher temperature and higher water potentials. The amounts of enzyme secretion depended on the water potential and not on the quality of salt (NaCl or KCl) used as osmoticum. Enzyme activities were significantly affected by water potential. Significant enzyme activities were measured for most of the enzymes even at −14.800 megapascal (MPa), which is below the water potential where mycelial growth ceased. These results suggest the possibility of using mutants with improved xerotolerance for biocontrol purposes in soils with lower water potentials.

Two subcellular fractions of gill tissue, cytoplasm and basolateral membranes, from two species of euryhaline decapod crustaceans, Callinectes sapidus and Carcinus maenas, acclimated to low salinity, were isolated via differential centrifugation. Carbonic anhydrase activity from both fractions was titrated against a variety of heavy metals in vitro. The metals Ag(+), Cd(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(+) showed inhibitory action against the enzyme. Ki values for these metals against cytoplasmic CA from C. sapidus were in the range of 0.05-0.5 microM (for Ag(+), Cd(2+) and Cu(2+)) and 2-6 microM for Zn(+), some of the highest sensitivities reported for CA from an aquatic organism. The Ki values for these same metals were approximately 2-3 orders of magnitude higher for cytoplasmic CA from C. maenas, indicating that there are significant differences in heavy metal sensitivity in branchial CA from the two species, and that C. maenas possesses a metal-resistant CA isoform. It required concentrations of metals in the millimolar range, however, to inhibit CA activity from the membrane fraction of the gill of both species. There were no effects on either mortality or on hemolymph osmotic and ionic concentrations in C. maenas that were exposed to 10 microM Cd or Zn(+) at 32 per thousand salinity and subsequently transferred to 10 per thousand. The presence of a metal-resistant CA isoform in the gills of C. maenas suggests that this species would not be restricted from its normal estuarine environment by heavy metal pollution.  相似文献

Five strains of Trichoderma with known biocontrol activities were assessed for their effect upon pea growth and their antagonistic activity against large Pythium ultimum inocula. The effect of Trichoderma inocula upon the indigenous soil microflora and soil enzyme activities in the presence and absence of Pythium is assessed. In the absence of Pythium, Trichoderma strain N47 significantly increased the wet shoot weight by 15% but did not significantly affect the dry weight, whilst strains T4 and N47 significantly increased the root weights by 22% and 80%) respectively. Strains TH1 and N47 resulted in significantly greater root lengths. Pythium inoculation significantly reduced the root length and the number of lateral roots and nodules, and significantly increased the root and rhizosphere soil fungal populations. Pythium inoculation significantly reduced the plant wet and dry shoot weights and significantly increased the wet and the dry shoot/root ratio. All the Trichoderma strains reduced the number of lesions caused by Pythium and increased the number of lateral roots. The effect of the Pythium on emergence and shoot growth was significantly reduced by all the Trichoderma strains except strain To10. Inoculation with Trichoderma strains TH1 and T4 resulted in significantly greater wet root weights (62% and 57%, respectively) in the presence of Pythium compared to the Pythium control. Strain N47 significantly increased the shoot/root ratio compared to the Pythium control. Inoculation with Trichoderma strains T4, T12 and N47 significantly reduced Pythium populations. Pythium increased the activity of C, N and P cycle enzymes, whilst four Trichoderma strains reduced this effect, indicating reduced plant damage and C leakage. Overall, strains T4 and N47 had the greatest beneficial characteristics, as both these strains improved plant growth in the absence of Pythium and reduced plant damage in the presence of Pythium. The dual properties of these strains improve the commercial application, giving them an advantage over single action inocula, especially in the absence of plant pathogens.  相似文献

重金属污染是世界各国面临的最为棘手的问题之一,对生态系统和食品安全构成了严重威胁。作为生态系统中食物链和食物网的重要环节,植食性昆虫是环境中重金属迁移、积累的重要媒介,其因重金属污染而受到的影响引起了大家的关注。本文综述了从2007至2018年重金属污染对植食性昆虫影响的研究进展。昆虫受重金属胁迫的研究途径有人工饲料添加、野外田间暴露、“土壤-植物-昆虫”食物链传递以及体外注射等。积累在植食性昆虫体内的过量重金属可导致其存活率、繁殖力和种群增长率降低,生长发育迟缓。重金属污染对植食性昆虫的生理生化毒性包括细胞超微结构破坏和DNA损伤,体内能量物质含量降低,酶活性、基因表达改变等。植食性昆虫会通过重金属硫蛋白、解毒酶活性的诱导等机制抵御重金属的毒害,从而对低浓度、长期重金属暴露产生生态适应性,甚至提高对其他逆境(如农药等)的耐受性。  相似文献

A mutant strain of the fungus Trichoderma reesei giving high cellulase production but having poor stability has been further mutagenized to produce strains in which good production properties were retained and stability was greatly improved. The increase in the production of some other extracellular enzymes by the mutants was even greater than the increase in cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4) and exo-cellobiohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.91) production. The new strains were all tested in laboratory fermenter cultivations and one has also been used for pilot-scale cellulase production.  相似文献

Trichoderma virens is a ubiquitous soil fungus successfully used in biological control due to its efficient colonization of plant roots. In fungi, 4-phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) activate enzymes involved in primary and secondary metabolism. Therefore, we cloned the PPTase gene ppt1 from T. virens and generated PPTase-deficient (?ppt1) and overexpressing strains to investigate the role of this enzyme in biocontrol and induction of plant defense responses. The ?ppt1 mutants were auxotrophic for lysine, produced nonpigmented conidia, and were unable to synthesize nonribosomal peptides. Although spore germination was severely compromised under both low and high iron availability, mycelial growth occurred faster than the wild type, and the mutants were able to efficiently colonize plant roots. The ?ppt1 mutants were unable of inhibiting growth of phytopathogenic fungi in vitro. Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings co-cultivated with wild-type T. virens showed increased expression of pPr1a:uidA and pLox2:uidA markers, which correlated with enhanced accumulation of salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid, camalexin, and resistance to Botrytis cinerea. Co-cultivation of A. thaliana seedlings with ?ppt1 mutants compromised the SA and camalexin responses, resulting in decreased protection against the pathogen. Our data reveal an important role of T. virens PPT1 in antibiosis and induction of SA and camalexin-dependent plant defense responses.  相似文献

Four commercial preparations of fibrolytic enzymes, from Irpex lacteus, Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, and a mixture designed to be similar to the I. lacteus extract, were incubated in vitro with digesta taken from the rumen of sheep receiving a grass hay/concentrate diet, and the survival of major enzyme activities was measured. Some activities, including the beta-1,4-endoglucanase and xylanase from the extract derived from Aspergillus niger, were stable for at least 6 h in rumen fluid. The same activities in the other extracts also retained substantial activity for several hours. beta-Glucosidase and beta-xylosidase activities were much more labile, most being almost completely destroyed after 1 h, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that most proteins in the extracts were digested extensively after up to 7 h of incubation. Adding bovine serum albumin (0.5 g/l) to the incubation increased the half-life of Trichoderma viride beta-glucosidase activity from less than 0.5 h to 3 h. Proteins extracted from plant materials, particularly the soybean 7S globulin fraction, also conferred protection from proteolytic breakdown, but none was as effective as bovine serum albumin. It was concluded that the stability of most fibrolytic enzymes in rumen fluid is not likely to be a limiting factor in the use of enzymes as feed additives for ruminants; but if the enzymes are not stable, means can be found for their stabilization.  相似文献

In laboratory experiments, the rhizobacteria Azospirillum lipoferum 137, Arthrobacter mysorens 7, Agrobacterium radiobacter 10, and Flavobacterium sp. L30 were found to have a relatively high resistance to the toxic heavy metals lead and cadmium (except that strain L30 was found to be sensitive to Cd). When introduced by means of seed bacterization, the heavy metal-resistant strains actively colonized the rhizosphere of barley plants cultivated in uncontaminated and contaminated soils. In both pot and field experiments, seed bacterization improved the growth of barley plants and the uptake of nutrient elements from soil contaminated with Pb and Cd. The bacterization also prevented the accumulation of Pb and Cd in barley plants, thereby mitigating the toxic effect of these heavy metals on the plants.  相似文献

Colony-forming heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from several locations in coastal waters of Primorye that differ in the extent and character of heavy metal pollution. Statistically significant differences in the minimum inhibitory concentrations of some metals were found for bacteria isolated from the environments with different levels of pollution. Bacterial strains that were highly tolerant of several heavy metals also showed resistance to a wide spectrum of antibiotics, and some strains bore plasmids of varying numbers and sizes. Bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae and the genus Pseudomonas were the dominant metal-resistant bacterial forms in the polluted coastal wasters of Primorye. No strict correlation was found between metal resistance and taxonomic identity of bacteria.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Biologiya Morya, Bezverbnaya, Buzoleva, Khristoforova.  相似文献

The present study was designed to assess the effects of three different metals (cadmium, lead, and zinc) at the same concentrations on Hibiscus rosa sinensis during metal uptake. The effects of different metals at the same concentrations were assessed on biomass, root-shoot length, and biochemical parameters like chlorophyll and antioxidant enzymes like SOD and CAT to establish the tolerance potential and toxic effects on plants in different metals. The accumulation of metals by plants was found to be in the following order: Zn > mixed metals > Cd > Pb, where Zn was accumulated approximately 79.6% in plant tissues. Plants removed from Cd showed more enzyme activities than the other two metals. DNA stability was investigated by a Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique, which demonstrated that the samples in Cd and mixed metal showed similar trends, whereas samples in Zn and Pb showed similar band intensity to the control. Results suggested that Cd and/or heavy metal stress influences antioxidant status and also induces DNA changes during remediation. Therefore, these studies could be a useful biomarker assay for better treatment for metals’ remediation from soil by means of phytoremediation.  相似文献
