Aims: Developing new bio‐agents to control plant disease is desirable. Entomopathogenic bacteria Xenorhabdus spp. have potential antimicrobial activity in agriculture. This work was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Xenorhabdus bovienii YL002 on plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete in vitro and the efficiency of this strain to reduce the in vivo incidence of grey mould rot on tomato plants caused by Botrytis cinerea and leaf scorch on pepper plants caused by Phytophthora capsici. Methods and Results: The antimicrobial activity of X. bovienii YL002 was firstly determined on in vitro plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete and then on tomato fruits and plants infected with B. cinerea and pepper plants infected with P. capsici. The cell‐free filtrate of X. bovienii YL002 exhibited highest inhibition effects (>98%) on mycelia growth of P. capsici and B. cinerea. The 50% inhibition concentration (EC₅₀) of the methanol‐extracted bioactive compounds (methanol extract) of the cell‐free filtrate against P. capsici and B. cinerea were 164·83 and 42·16 μg ml^?1. The methanol extract also had a strong effect on the spore germination of P. capsici and B. cinerea, with a EC₅₀ of 70·38 and 69·33 μg ml^?1, respectively. At 1000 μg ml^?1, the methanol extract showed a therapeutic effect of 70·82% and a protective effect of 77·4% against B. cinerea on tomato plants compared with the control. The methanol extract also showed potent effect against P. capsici, with a therapeutic effect of 68·14% and a protective effect of 65·46% on pepper plants compared with the control. Conclusions: Xenorhabdus bovienii YL002 produces antimicrobial compounds with strong activity on plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete and has the potential for controlling grey mould rot of tomato plants and leaf scorch of pepper and could be useful in integrated control against diverse plant pathogenic fungi and oomycete. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study showed the potential that X. bovienii YL002 can be used to control the grey mould rot caused by B. cinerea on tomato plants and leaf scorch caused by P. capsici on pepper plants with the objective to reduce treatments with chemical fungicides.

Potential use and mode of action of the new strain Bacillus thuringiensis UM96 for the biological control of the grey mould phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea

The potential use of Bacillus thuringiensis UM96 as a biocontrol agent for the grey mould phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea was evaluated. In order to dissect the mode of action of this UM96 strain, we also examined the role of lytic activities in the antagonism. First, B. thuringiensis UM96 was characterised based on 16S rRNA and gyrA gene sequencing and phenotypic traits. Petri dish biocontrol assays demonstrated that when strain UM96 was inoculated 24 h previous to B. cinerea, the mycelial growth was inhibited by up to 70%. Test for lytic enzymes activities of cellulase and glucanase was negative. Chitinase was the only positive enzyme activity in two different culture media. PCR detection of the chiB gene was also positive. Chitinolytic supernatants, obtained from rich and minimal media supplemented with colloidal chitin as the sole carbon source, from B. thuringiensis UM96 showed a strong inhibitory effect of B. cinerea that was not observed with heat-treated supernatant. Interestingly, when the supernatant was supplemented with 100 µM allosamidin, a chitinase specific inhibitor, the antagonistic activity was suppressed significantly. A lack of chitinase activity was also observed in allosamidin-treated supernatants. Our pathogenic B. cinerea strain also exhibited susceptibility to pure Streptomyces griseus chitinase. Finally, the chitinolytic strain B. thuringiensis UM96 was able to protect Medicago truncatula plants in vitro from B. cinerea infection and significantly reduced the necrotic zones and root browning of the plants. Together, these results suggest a potential use of B. thuringiensis UM96 for the biological control of B. cinerea and a role for chitinases during the antagonism displayed.     

Brief in vitro study on Botrytis cinerea and Aspergillus carbonarius regarding growth and ochratoxin A

Aims: To evaluate the effect of Botrytis cinerea growth on ochratoxin A (OTA) production by Aspergillus carbonarius and degradation. Methods and Results: OTA‐producing A. carbonarius and B. cinerea were grown on grape‐like medium at 20°C for 7 days. Radii of colonies were daily recorded and OTA was analysed. In addition, each B. cinerea isolate was inoculated on grape‐like synthetic nutrient medium (SNM) paired with each A. carbonarius isolate at a distance of 45 mm. Botrytis cinerea isolates were also grown in OTA‐spiked SNM. Growth rates of B. cinerea and A. carbonarius were 20 and 7·5 mm day^?1, respectively. The growth of the colonies of each species stopped when they contacted each other in paired cultures. OTA production by A. carbonarius in the contact area was affected by B. cinerea, but no clear trend was observed. All B. cinerea isolates showed to degrade between 24·2% and 26·7% of OTA from spiked SNM. Conclusions: The ecological advantage of B. cinerea, in terms of growth rate, vs. OTA‐producing Aspergillus in some wine‐growing regions and its ability to degrade OTA may explain the low levels of this toxin in noble wines. Significance and Impact of the Study: At determinate conditions, the presence of B. cinerea in grapes with A. carbonarius may help in reducing OTA accumulation.

Necrotizing activity of five Botrytis cinerea endopolygalacturonases produced in Pichia pastoris

Five Botrytis cinerea endopolygalacturonase enzymes (BcPGs) were individually expressed in Pichia pastoris, purified to homogeneity and biochemically characterized. While the pH optima of the five enzymes were similar (approximately pH 4.5) the maximum activity of individual enzymes differed significantly. For hydrolysis of polygalacturonic acid (PGA), the V(max,app) ranged from 10 to 900 U mg(-1), while the K(m,app) ranged from 0.16 to 0.6 mg ml(-1). Although all BcPGs are true endopolygalacturonases, they apparently have different modes of action. PGA hydrolysis by BcPG1, BcPG2 and BcPG4 leads to the transient accumulation of oligomers with DP < 7, whereas PGA hydrolysis by BcPG3 and BcPG6 leads to the immediate accumulation of monomers and dimers. The necrotizing activity (NA) of all BcPGs was tested separately in tomato, broad bean and Arabidopsis thaliana. They showed different NAs on these plants. BcPG1 and BcPG2 possessed the strongest NA as tissue collapse was observed within 10 min after infiltration of broad bean leaves. The amino acid (aa) D192A substitution in the active site of BcPG2 not only abolished enzyme activity but also the NA, indicating that the NA is dependent on enzyme activity. Furthermore, deletion of the Bcpg2 gene in B. cinerea resulted in a strong reduction in virulence on tomato and broad bean. Primary lesion formation was delayed by approximately 24 h and the lesion expansion rate was reduced by 50-85%. These data indicate that BcPG2 is an important virulence factor for B. cinerea.     

2-epi-Botcinin A and 3-O-Acetylbotcineric Acid from Botrytis cinerea

Two metabolites, 2-epi-botcinin A and 3-O-acetylbotcineric acid, were isolated from Botrytis cinerea (AEM211). The former compound was new, and the latter was known but structurally revised by us. In a test for antifungal activity against Magnaporthe grisea, a pathogen of rice blast disease, 2-epi-botcinin A was 8 times less active than botcinin A (MIC 100 μM), and the MIC value for 3-O-acetylbotcineric acid being 100 μM.     

The Influence of o-hydroxyethylorutin on Botrytis cinerea Oxidant–Antioxidant Activity

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of o‐hydroxyethylorutin on Botrytis cinerea mycelium growth and metabolism. Hydrogen peroxide concentration, superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase activities were compared in the pathogens’ mycelium grown on control and o‐hydroxyethylorutin containing medium. Transfer of B. cinerea mycelium to medium supplemented with 5 mm o‐hydroxyethylorutin resulted in a large decrease in catalase activity. No changes in mycelium growth, hydrogen peroxide concentration and superoxide dismutase activity were observed. Guaiacol and ascorbate peroxidases were not detected in mycelia. The data are consistent with previous findings that o‐hydroxyethylorutin treatment of tomato plants restricts the development of B. cinerea infection due to the induction of higher active oxygen species (AOS) generation in plants by this compound. Being poor in catalase, the pathogen may not be able to cope with increasing AOS formation. The results indicate that catalase is an infective agent of B. cinerea.     

Proteomic analysis of the phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea during cellulose degradation

The ascomycete Botrytis cinerea is a phytopathogenic fungus infecting and causing significant yield losses in a number of crops. Moreover, in the last few years, B. cinerea has been adopted as an important model system in molecular phytopathology. In spite of these contributions, the molecular basis of the infection cycle remains unclear. Proteomic approaches have revealed significant information about the infective cycle of several pathogens, including B. cinerea. The main aim of this study is to make available a proteomic database containing a significant number of identified proteins from B. cinerea. In brief, three independent B. cinerea cultures supplemented with carboxymethylcellulose were used, and the extracted proteins were independently separated by 2‐D PAGE to obtain the proteome map from B. cinerea. Two hundred and sixty‐seven spots were selected for MALDI TOF/TOF MS analysis, resulting in 303 positive identifications, mostly representing unannotated proteins. Identified proteins were then classified into categories using the PANTHER classification system ( www.pantherdb.org ), showing the relevance of protein metabolism and modification process and oxidoreductase activity. Since cellulose is one of the major components of the plant cell wall, many of the identified proteins may have a crucial role in the pathogenicity process. In brief, this proteomic map of B. cinerea will be a useful basis for exploring the proteins involved in the infection cycle, which will in turn provide new targets for crop diagnosis and focused fungicide design.     

Effect of calcium on cell-wall degrading enzymes of Botrytis cinerea

Effective anti-Botrytis strategies leading to reduce pesticides on strawberries are examined to provide the protection that is harmless to humans, higher animals and plants. Calcium treatments significantly inhibited the spore germination and mycelial growth of B. cinerea. The intracellular polygalacturonase and CMCase showed low activities in B. cinerea cultivated by medium containing calcium. On the other hand, calcium-stimulated β-glucosidases production occurred. Our findings suggest that the calcium treatments keep CMCase activity low and cause low activities of cell-wall degrading enzymes of B. cinerea in the late stage of growth.
