Certain root-colonizing fluorescent pseudomonads have been shown to promote plant growth and prevent plant disease in part through the production of siderophores. However, these favorable results have not been reproduced consistently from the laboratory to the greenhouse or from the greenhouse to the field. In some circumstances siderophores appear to play no role in disease prevention. In order to understand the dynamics of competition for iron in the rhizosphere it is essential that the localization and concentration of siderophores produced by both biocontrol agents and plant pathogens be determined. We have produced monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to ferric pseudobactin, the siderophore of plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas B10. Three IgG1 MAbs cross-react with certain ferric pseudobactins but not with others. A competitive ELISA has been developed to detect and quantify ferric pseudobactin.  相似文献

Abstract: The ability to utilise additional siderophores may increase the ecological fitness of biocontrol inoculants of Pseudomonas in the rhizosphere. Plasmid pCUP2 carries a copy of the gene pbu A coding for the membrane receptor of ferric pseudobactin M114. Pseudomonas sp. B24Rif containing pCUP2 can utilise ferric pseudobactin of P. fluorescens M114 in addition to its own siderophore. A larger fraction of the culturable resident fluorescent pseudomonads in the rhizosphere of sugarbeet grown in a low-iron sandy loam soil could supply siderophore-complexed iron to B24Rif(pCUP2) rather than to B24Rif. However, B24Rif and B24Rif(pCUP2) were found at similar population levels in the rhizosphere for 21 days after their inoculation on seeds. A total of 25 of 43 isolates of resident fluorescent Pseudomonas unable to cross-feed iron to B24Rif could cross-feed B24Rif(pCUP2) and they were subdivided into seven different strains by arbitrary-primed PCR fingerprinting. The siderophores produced by 11 of them were typed by HPLC and they were similar to pseudobactin M114. However, the ability to utilise ferric pseudobactin M114 did not improve the ecological fitness of B24Rif in the rhizosphere of sugarbeet although a larger fraction of the culturable resident fluorescent pseudomonads could supply pseudobactin M114-complexed iron to B24Rif(pCUP2) than to B24Rif.  相似文献

Certain plant growth-promoting pseudomonads inhibit deleterious and pathogenic rhizosphere bacteria and fungi by producing siderophores. Properties of a siderophore transport system which might provide a competitive advantage under iron stress conditions include ability to utilize other organisms' siderophores, higher Fe(III) stability constant, faster kinetics of dissolution of Fe(III) minerals, more efficient transport system, and resistance to degradation. In order to determine the concentration and localization of siderophores in the rhizosphere monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to ferric pseudobactin, the siderophore of Pseudomonas putida B10, have been developed. Several Mabs cross reacted differently with various pseudobactins. A growth medium has been developed for the study for siderophore-mediated rhizosphere interactions in the laboratory.  相似文献

Under iron limitationPseudomonas putida WCS358 produces a fluorescent siderophore, pseudobactin 358, which, after complexing iron, is transported back into the cell via the specific outer membrane receptor PupA. In addition, this strain has the capacity to take up iron via a large variety of siderophores produced by other fluorescent pseudomonads. Putative receptor genes for such siderophores were identified in the chromosome of strain WCS358 by PCR using primers matching two domains conserved in four ferric pseudobactin receptors, including PupA. Eleven amplification products within the expected size range were obtained. Sequence analysis confirmed that the products were derived from genes encoding outer membrane receptors. Two complete receptor genes were isolated from a genomic library ofP. putida WCS358. Both protein products are involved in the transport of a limited number of specific ferric pseudobactins. These results indicate that the ability ofP. putida WCS358 to exploit many different heterologous pseudobactins is related to the presence of multiple outer membrane receptor proteins.  相似文献

Omega-amino acid monooxygenases (EC 1.14.13.-), catalysing the formation of hydroxamate precursors of microbial siderophores (e.g., pyoverdine), have so far eluded structural and biochemical characterisation. Here, the expression of recombinant L-ornithine-Ndelta-oxygenase (PvdA) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 is reported. A library of eight monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against PvdA has been generated. Two MAb families recognising the N- and C-terminal regions of PvdA were identified. The MAbs made it possible to demonstrate that 45-48 kDa PvdA homologues are expressed in response to iron limitation by different species and strains of fluorescent pseudomonads. Despite the different degrees in sequence similarity between P. aeruginosa PvdA and putative homologues from Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas syringae, Burkholderia cepacia, and Ralstonia solanacearum, in silico domain scanning predicts an impressive conservation of putative cofactor and substrate binding domains. The MAb library was also used to monitor PvdA expression during the transition of P. aeruginosa from iron-sufficient to iron-deficient growth.  相似文献

Both plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas B10 and its yellow-green, fluorescent iron transport agent (siderophore) pseudobactin enhance potato growth and biologically control certain soil-borne fungal diseases in part by depriving specific root-colonizing endemic microorganisms including phytopathogens of iron(III), thus inhibiting their growth. The present study examines this mode of iron deprivation. The growth inhibition of certain bean-deleterious fluorescent pseudomonads by specific bean-beneficial fluorescent pseudomonads is due in part to the inability of susceptible strains to utilize siderophores from beneficial strains to transport iron(III). Conversely, deleterious strains which were able to utilize siderophores from beneficial strains were not inhibited. The ability of a given pseudomonad to utilize another pseudomonad's siderophore may depend upon its possessing a specific outer membrane receptor protein for that pseudomonad's ferric siderophore. Siderophore-mediated competition for iron in microbial systems appears to be a widespread phenomenon.  相似文献

Tn5 mutagenesis of different fluorescent pseudomonads was achieved by conjugational transfer of the suicide vector pSUP 10141. Pyoverdine negative (Pvd-) mutants were detected by the absence of fluorescence on King's B medium and by their inability to grow in the presence of the iron chelator EDDHA [ethylenediamine di(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid)]. In P. fluorescens ATCC 17400 and three rhizosphere isolates (one P. putida and two P. fluorescens), the percentage of Pvd- mutants ranged between 0 and 0.54%. In a P. chlororaphis rhizosphere isolate, this percentage was higher (4%). In these mutants both of the Tn5 antibiotic resistances (Km and Tc) were stable and the transposon could be detected by hybridization. In Pvd- mutants of P. fluorescens ATCC 17400, the transposon was found to be inserted twice in the chromosome while single insertions were detected in the DNA of other, randomly tested mutants. In P. aeruginosa PAO1, where 13.1% of the mutants were Pvd-, both antibiotic resistances were rapidly lost and accordingly no transposon insertion could be detected by hybridization. However, the Pvd- phenotype was generally stable in these mutants. The plasmid pNK862 containing a mini-Tn10 transposon was introduced by electroporation into P. aeruginosa PAO1 and Kmr mutants were recovered, 89% of which were Pvd- and confirmed to be P. aeruginosa by PCR amplification of the P. aeruginosa lipoprotein gene. The mini-Tn10 insertions were also found to be unstable in PAO1.  相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas aureofaciens, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida are of importance to medicine, agriculture and biocycling. These microbes acquire ferric ion via the use of the siderophores pyochelin and the family known as the pyoverdines or pseudobactins. The ferric uptake regulator (fur) gene is responsible, at least in part, for the regulation of siderophore synthesis and uptake in P. aeruginosa.To determine whether the organisms contain single or multiple homologues of the siderophore-related genes fpvA (ferripyoverdine uptake) and fur, and whether these homologues displayed sequence heterogeneity, their chromosomal DNAs were probed with fur and fpvA sequences. As a representative of a non-fluorescent pseudomonad, the bacterium Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia was also examined.The pseudomonads all contained fpvA- and fur-like homologues, and heterogeneity was observed among the different species. The presence of two or more fpvA-like genes is indicated in all of the fluorescent pseudomonads surveyed. In contrast, B. cepacia DNA either did not hybridize to these probes, or did so only very weakly, suggesting that fur- and fpvA-like homologues are either absent or significantly different in B. cepacia compared to the fluorescent pseudomonads examined.  相似文献

In addition to the two siderophores pyoverdine and pyochelin synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15692 (strain PAO1), several siderophores produced by other bacteria or fungi, namely cepabactin, salicylic acid, desferriferrichrysin, desferriferricrocin, desferriferrioxamine B, desferriferrioxamine E and coprogen, were able to promote iron uptake with variable efficiencies into this bacterium. For most of these siderophores, these results were consistent with the growth stimulation produced by the same compounds in a plate bioassay. Desferriferrichrome A, enterobactin and desferriferrirubin, however, did not promote iron uptake, although enterobactin and desferriferrirubin stimulated bacterial growth. These paradoxical data are discussed in view of siderophore-inducible iron uptake systems, as demonstrated recently for enterobactin. Among the strains tested, including the wild-type PAO1, the pyoverdine-less mutant PAO6606 and the two porin-mutants P. aeruginosa H636 (oprF::omega) and P. aeruginosa H673 (oprD::Tn501), only for the porin-OprF mutant were fewer siderophores able to promote iron uptake compared to the other strains. Such results suggest that beside specific routes for iron uptake P. aeruginosa is also able to take up siderophore-liganded iron through OprF.  相似文献

Pseudomonas roseus fluorescens produces, besides the Fe chelator proferrorosamine A, Fe -chelating compounds, called siderophores. The production of proferrorosamine A and siderophores by P. roseus fluorescens appears to be controlled in a similar way by the concentration of available iron and by the concentration of dissolved oxygen. The higher the concentration of iron available for the microorganism, the lower the production of both chelating compounds. However, the production of siderophores was much more sensitive to iron availability than was proferrorosamine A production. Proferrorosamine A and siderophores were only produced in minimal medium C if the concentration of dissolved oxygen ranged from 4.5 to 2.0 ppm. At higher or lower concentrations, none of the iron-chelating compounds were produced. Furthermore, it has been shown that proferrorosamine-negative Tn5 mutants of P. roseus fluorescens were able to form siderophores only under iron-limiting conditions when proferrorosamine A was added to the medium. Our data suggest that proferrorosamine A production is essential for siderophore synthesis by P. roseus fluorescens; the production of siderophores occurred only when proferrorosamine A was present.  相似文献

Detection in the rhizosphere of the siderophore produced by an inoculated microorganism is critical to determining the role of microbial iron chelators on plant growth promotion. We previously reported the development of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to ferric pseudobactin, the siderophore of plant-growth-promoting Pseudomonas strain B10. One of these MAb reacted less strongly to pseudobactin than to ferric pseudobactin. The MAb reacted to Al(III), Cr(III), Cu(II), and Mn(II) complexes of pseudobactin at a level similar to the level at which it reacted to ferric pseudobactin and reacted less to the Zn(II) complex, but these metals would make up only a small fraction of chelated pseudobactin in soil on the basis of relative abundance of metals and relative binding constants. Fourteen-day-old barley plants grown in limed and autoclaved soil were inoculated with 109 CFU of Pseudomonas strain Sm1-3, a strain of Pseudomonas B10 Rifr Nalr selected for enhanced colonization, and sampled 3 days later. Extraction and analysis of the roots and surrounding soil using the MAb in an immunoassay indicated a concentration of 3.5 × 10-10 mol of ferric pseudobacting g-1 (wet weight). This is the first direct measurement of a pseudobactin siderophore in soil or rhizosphere samples.  相似文献

Fluorescent pseudomonads are gamma-proteobacteria known for their capacity to colonize various ecological niches. This adaptability is reflected by their sophisticated and diverse iron uptake systems. The majority of fluorescent pseudomonads produce complex peptidic siderophores called pyoverdines or pseudobactins, which are very efficient iron scavengers. A tremendous variety of pyoverdines has been observed, each species producing a different pyoverdine. This variety can be used as an interesting tool to study the diversity and taxonomy of fluorescent pseudomonads. Other siderophores, including newly described ones, are also produced by pseudomonads, sometimes endowed with interesting properties in addition to iron scavenging, such as formation of complexes with other metals or antimicrobial activity. Factors other than iron limitation, and different regulatory proteins also seem to influence the production of siderophores in pseudomonads and are reviewed here as well. Another peculiarity of pseudomonads is their ability to use a large number of heterologous siderophores via different TonB-dependent receptors. A first genomic analysis of receptors in four different fluorescent pseudomonads suggests that their siderophore ligand repertoire is likely to overlap, and that not all receptors recognize siderophores as ligands.  相似文献
