Bacillus subtilis KS1 was isolated from grape berry skin as a biological control agent against grapevine fungal diseases. KS1 was identified as a new strain of B. subtilis according to morphological, biochemical, and genetic analyses. In vitro bioassay demonstrated that KS1 suppressed the growth of Botrytis cinerea (the casual agent of grape grey mold) and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (the casual agent of grape ripe rot). The biocontrol activity of KS1 against grapevine fungal diseases in vineyards was evaluated over a 3-year span (from 2007 to 2009). Downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola, was reduced on berry skins and leaves by treatment with KS1. The KS1 genome possesses ituD and lpa-14 genes, both of which play a role in iturin A production followed by iturin A production in the culture. In contrast, mutants lacking both genes lost the antagonistic activity against B. cinerea and C. gloeosporioides and the activity in iturin A production, suggesting that the antagonistic activity of KS1 against grapevine fungal pathogens may depend on iturin A production. As KS1 showed tolerance to various chemical pesticides, chemical pesticides could be applied before and/or after KS1 treatment in vineyards. Due to its potential as a biological control agent against grape downy mildew, KS1 is expected to contribute to the further improvement of integrated pest management systems and to potentially reduce the amount of chemical fungicides applied in vineyards.  相似文献

Aims: To prepare commercially acceptable formulations of Bacillus subtilis CPA‐8 by spray‐drying with long storage life and retained efficacy to control peach and nectarine brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. Methods and Results: CPA‐8 24‐h‐ and 72‐h‐old cultures were spray dried using 10% skimmed milk, 10% skimmed milk plus 10% MgSO4, 10% MgSO4 and 20% MgSO4 as carriers/protectants. All carriers/protectants gave good percentages of powder recovery (28–38%) and moisture content (7–13%). CPA‐8 survival varied considerably among spray‐dried 24‐h‐ and 72‐h‐old cultures. Seventy‐two hours culture spray dried formulations showed the highest survival (28–32%) with final concentration products of 1·6–3·3 × 109 CFU g?1, while viability of 24‐h‐old formulations was lower than 1%. Spray‐dried 72‐h‐old formulations were selected to subsequent evaluation. Rehydration of cells with water provided a good recovery of CPA‐8 dried cells, similar to other complex rehydration media tested. Spray‐dried formulations stored at 4 ± 1 and 20 ± 1°C showed good shelf life during 6 months, and viability was maintained or slightly decreased by 0·2–0·3‐log. CPA‐8 formulations after 4‐ and 6 months storage were effective in controlling brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. on nectarines and peaches resulting in a 90–100% reduction in disease incidence. Conclusions: Stable and effective formulations of biocontrol agent B. subtilis CPA‐8 could be obtained by spray‐drying. Significance and Impact of the Study: New shelf‐stable and effective formulations of a biocontrol agent have been obtained by spray‐drying to control brown rot on peach.  相似文献

Aims:  The identification of a new compound active against Agrobacterium tumefaciens .
Methods and Results:  The culture conditions of a newly isolated Bacillus subtilis strain, designed 14B, were optimized, as a first step, to produce its bacteriocin (termed Bac 14B) for the biocontrol of Agrobacterium spp., the causal agents of the crown gall disease. Bac 14B was then partially purified and biochemically characterized. Bacillus subtilis 14B was observed to produce an antibacterial compound having a protinaceous nature. As estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the semi-purified bacteriocin substance was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 21 kDa. While the latter's antimicrobial activity was completely stable during exposure to a temperature range of up to 100°C for 2 h, its initial activity was totally lost at 121°C for 20 min. The maximum bacteriocin production (4096 AU ml−1) was recorded after 96 h-incubation in an optimized Luria Bertani medium supplemented with 10 g l−1 glucose, 15 g l−1 K2HPO4 and 5 g l−1 MgSO4 7H2O at 30°C in a shaking flask culture. Interestingly, the B. subtilis 14B culture supernatant that contained the bacteriocin under study was proved efficient in reducing both the percentage of galled plants and the number of galls in tomato.
Conclusion:  The findings revealed that B. subtilis 14B and its bacteriocin are efficient in reducing the percentage of infections in plants caused by Ag. tumefaciens .
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The results could be useful for the nurserymen who are particularly interested in the biocontrol of the crown gall disease.  相似文献

Aims: To optimize the transformation conditions and improve the transformation efficiency of Bacillus subtilis WB800 and DB104. Methods and Results: Trehalose, which could decrease the damage of electric shock to the cells, was added to the electroporation medium containing sorbitol and mannitol. The factors affecting the transformation efficiency, such as the growth phase of bacteria, cell concentration, electric field strength and plasmid variety, were examined and improved. The new method increased the transformation efficiency of B. subtilis by nearly 100‐fold compared with the conventional one. Conclusions: With the optimized method, the transformation efficiency came up to 3·64 × 105 transformants μg?1 DNA for WB800, and 2·10 × 105 transformants μg?1 DNA for DB104. Significance and Impact of the Study: This improvement in transformation efficiency will be largely attributed to the research of expression of exogenous genes in B. subtilis, gene library construction for directed evolution and transformation of wild‐type B. subtilis strains.  相似文献

Aims:  To understand the diversity, taxonomy and antagonistic potential of rice-associated bacteria, and to discover new bacteria for biocontrol of rice foliar pathogens.
Methods and Results:  Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), BOX-PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis were used to identify the diversity of 203 rice-associated antagonistic bacteria. Eleven potential biocontrol bacteria were used to test their biological control of rice blast in a natural field experiment. Eleven different genera were encountered in five divisions, including Bacilli , Alphaproteobacteria , Betaproteobacteria , Gammaproteobacteria and Deinococci . The most prominent genus in all microenvironments was Bacillus (68·5%). The efficacy of rice leaf blast biocontrol was 64·35% for strain 1Pe2, 57·86% for strain 2R37 and 56·44% for strain 1Re14.
Conclusions:  Biocontrol data from the field experiments demonstrated no positive correlation between antagonism, physiological characteristics and biocontrol efficacy. There was significant diversity among the rice-associated bacteria isolated from different microenvironments. The most prominent genus of all microenvironments was Bacillus . Brevibacillus brevis strain 1Pe2 and Deinococcus aquaticus strain 1Re14 have good potential for field application and commercial use.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This is the first attempt to study the diversity and identification of rice-associated antagonistic bacteria from different microenvironments, and endophytic bacteria Deinococcus aquaticus strain 1Re14, Acidovorax sp. isolate 3Re21 and Brevibacillus brevis strain 1Pe2 are first reported as rice-associated bacteria.  相似文献

Abstract

A novel protease-resistant and thermostable phytase from Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis JJBS250 was purified 36-fold to homogeneity with a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by Q-Sepharose and Sephadex G-50 chromatographic techniques. The estimated molecular mass of the purified phytase was 46?kDa by electrophoresis with optimal activity at pH 7.0 and 70?°C. About 19% of original activity was maintained at 80?°C for 10?min. Phytase activity was stimulated in presence of surfactants like Tween-20, Tween-80, and Triton X-100 and metal ions like Ca+2, K+, and Co+2 and it was inhibited by SDS and Mg+2, Al+2, and Fe+2. Purified enzyme showed specificity to different salts of phytic acid and values of Km and Vmax were 0.293?mM and 11.49 nmoles s?1, respectively for sodium phytate. The purified enzyme was resistant to proteases (trypsin and pepsin) that resulted in amelioration of food nutrition with simultaneous release of inorganic phosphate, reducing sugars, and soluble protein.  相似文献

In Egypt, sesame cultivation is subject to attack by wilt and root-rot diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. sesami (Zap) Cast. and Macrophomina phaseolina (Maubl) Ashby causing losses in quality and quantity of sesame seed yield. Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma viride isolates which were isolated from sesame rhizosphere were the most effective to antagonise fungal pathogens, causing high reduction of hyphal fungal growth. Trichoderma viride was found to be mycoparasitic on Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. sesami and M. phaseolina causing morphological atternation of fungal cells and sclerotial formation. In general, Bacillus subtilis, T. viride, avirulent Fusarium oxysporum isolate and Glomus spp. (Amycorrhizae) significantly reduced wilt and root-rot incidence of sesame plants at artificially infested potted soil by each one or two pathogens. Data obtained indicate that Glomus spp significantly reduced wilt and disease severity development on sesame plants followed by T. viride. Meanwhile, avirulent Fusarium oxysporum isolate followed by Glomus spp. were effective against root-rot disease incidence caused by M. phaseolina. Glomus spp. followed by B. subtilis significantly reduced wilt and root-rot disease of sesame plants. All biotic agents significantly reduced F. oxysporum f.sp. sesami and M. phaseolina counts in sesame rhizosphere at the lowest level. Glomus spp. and the avirulent isolate of F. oxysporum eliminated M. phaseolina in sesame rhizosphere. Meanwhile T. viride was the best agent at reducing F. oxysporum at a lower level than other treatments. Application of VA mycorrhizae (Glomus spp.) in fields naturally infested by pathogens significantly reduced wilt and root-rot incidence and it significantly colonised sesame root systems and rhizospheres compared to untreated sesame transplantings.  相似文献

Biocontrol potential of Bacillus subtilis strain CPA-8 was tested against the main postharvest diseases of orange, apple and stone fruit. Previously, CPA-8 growth was characterized and its antifungal activity in vitro determined against Botrytis cinerea, Monilinia laxa, M. fructicola, Penicillium digitatum, P. expansum, and P. italicum. In vivo activity against these pathogens was tested by treating fruits with cells, endospores or cell free supernatants. CPA-8 treatments cannot control decay caused by P. digitatum and P. italicum on oranges. The higher concentrations of CPA-8 studied were effective in controlling B. cinerea on apple, showing grey mold incidence from 70 to 12.5% in comparison with 100% in the control. However, in general, CPA-8 treatments were not effective in controlling P. expansum. The best results of CPA-8 treatments were obtained in stone fruit against M. laxa and M. fructicola where most treatments resulted in brown rot incidence of 0% compared with 70 and 90% in the control. Based on these results, cultures, cells and cell free supernatants at different concentrations were tested against M. laxa and M. fructicola on stone fruit. Most bacterial concentrations were effective in controlling M. laxa and M. fructicola as well as or better than Serenade® Max, in some treatments showing brown rot incidences of 0% in comparison with 100% of control. Bacterial populations of CPA-8 were maintained stable or increased up to 2-log inside wounds, showing the ability of the bacteria to colonize injured tissues. Experimental evidence suggests that B. subtilis CPA-8 has biocontrol potential for control of postharvest disease on several fruit types.  相似文献

Formulations of a strain of Bacillus subtilis AUBS-1 inhibitory to the growth of the damping-off pathogen, Pythium aphanidermatum, were developed for seed treatment. The formulations included a talc-based powder, lignite-based powder, lignite+fly ash-based powder, wettable powder, bentonite-paste, polyethylene glycol (PEG) paste and a water-dispersible tablet. Formulations were stored at room temperature for 2 years and frequently sampled to test their shelf life. Populations of bacteria in the formulations were stable for up to 2 years storage at room temperature (28°C). Viability of propagules in lignite, lignite+fly ash, bentonite paste, wettable powder and water dispersible tablet formulations was 100% for up to 1 year. However, the viability of propagules was significantly reduced in talc, wettable powder, PEG paste and tablet formulations beyond 1 year of storage. Seed treatment of tomato with these formulations resulted in effective control of damping-off caused by P. aphanidermatum, and also enhanced plant biomass under glasshouse and field conditions. Active rhizosphere colonization by the bacterium was observed on tomato plants grown from seeds treated with the above formulations.  相似文献

AIMS: To study the effect of acid shock in sporulation on the production of acid-shock proteins, and on the heat resistance and germination characteristics of the spores formed subsequently. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bacillus subtilis wild-type (SASP-alpha+beta+) and mutant (SASP-alpha-beta-) cells in 2 x SG medium at 30 degrees C were acid-shocked with HCl (pH 4, 4.3, 5 and 6 against a control pH of 6.2) for 30 min, 1 h into sporulation. The D85-value of B. subtilis wild-type (but not mutant) spores formed from sporulating cells acid-shocked at pH 5 increased from 46.5 min to 78.8 min, and there was also an increase in the resistance of wild-type acid-shocked spores at both 90 degrees C and 95 degrees C. ALA- or AGFK-initiated germination of pH 5-shocked spores was the same as that of non-acid-shocked spores. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis showed only one novel acid-shock protein, identified as a vegetative catalase 1 (KatA), which appeared 30 min after acid shock but was lost later in sporulation. CONCLUSIONS: Acid shock at pH 5 increased the heat resistance of spores subsequently formed in B. subtilis wild type. The catalase, KatA, was induced by acid shock early in sporulation, but since it was degraded later in sporulation, it appears to act to increase heat resistance by altering spore structure. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first proteomic study of acid shock in sporulating B. subtilis cells. The increasing spore heat resistance produced by acid shock may have significance for the heat resistance of spores formed in the food industry.  相似文献

A strain-specific molecular marker enabling the detection and tracking of the biological control agent Bacillus subtilis 101, when released into the environment, was developed. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to differentiate this from other B. subtilis strains. A differentially amplified fragment obtained from RAPD profiles was sequenced and characterized as sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker, and four primer pairs were designed and evaluated for their specificity towards this strain. The sensibility of the selected SCAR primer pair was evaluated by qualitative PCR and Southern blotting, and the detection limit was assessed around 10(2) CFU (g dry wt soil)(-1), thus providing a reliable tool for the traceability of this B. subtilis strain in greenhouse or field trials. A plating assay coupled to PCR with the SCAR primer pair was then used as a detection method in microcosm experiments for monitoring the population of B. subtilis 101 in the rhizosphere of tomato, grown under two different soil conditions, i.e. nonsterile peat-based substrate and sandy-loam agricultural soil, respectively. The data of rhizosphere colonization indicated that the soil conditions significantly affected the rhizosphere establishment of strain 101.  相似文献

Aims:  To investigate the antimicrobial properties of 6-oxophenolic triterpenoids isolated from Maytenus blepharodes against different micro-organisms and the mode of action on Bacillus subtilis. Methods and Results:  The activity of zeylasterone and demethylzeylasterone was evaluated by microdilution method. Zeylasterone showed a higher activity, being active against Gram-positive bacteria (minimum inhibitory concentration 3–20 μg ml−1) and Candida albicans (10 μg ml−1). Killing curves revealed a bacteriostatic effect on B. subtilis that was dependent on the growth phase and inoculum size. Zeylasterone caused cell membrane alterations in B. subtilis, as shown by potassium leakage and formation of mesosome-like structures. However, membrane disruption was not revealed by either LIVE/DEAD Baclight assay or measurement of intracellular constituent efflux. Zeylasterone showed an early effect on N-acetyl-glucosamine and uridine incorporation and later on that of thymidine and leucine. Conclusions:  Diverse micro-organisms exhibit sensitivities towards compounds studied. The permeability changes in the cytoplasmic membrane and nonsimultaneous ceasing of macromolecular synthesis suggest that zeylasterone could act on multiple targets on B. subtilis. Significance and Impact of the Study:  The activity showed against B. subtilis as a model of spore-forming bacteria would provide valuable information for further studies in the development of 6-oxophenolic triterpenoids as antiseptic and disinfectant properties.  相似文献

Abstract A filter mating procedure has been used to transfer the plasmid pAMβ;1 from Streptococcus lactis to Clostridium acetobutylicum at high efficiency. Once established in this latter host the plasmid can be transferred, with lower efficiency to other strains of C. acetobutylicum or back to S. lactis . A procedure has also been developed for the co-cultivation of Bacillus subtilis and C. acetobutylicum and the transfer of pAMβ;1 between these organisms has been demonstrated.  相似文献

This study was aimed to elucidate the mitigation mechanism of an endophytic bacterium, Bacillus subtilis (BERA 71) against Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid disease in mung bean. M. phaseolina reduced the plant growth by inducing disease, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and lipid peroxidation. The inoculation of B. subtilis to diseased plants increased chlorophyll, ascorbic acids, and superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities, and while inhibited H2O2 and lipid peroxidation for enhancing plant growth. In addition, B. subtilis association in plants mitigated the M. phaseolina infection due to increase of indole acetic acids and indole butyric acid, and also a decrease of abscisic acid. However, the nutrients (N, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe) were increased, except Na in M. phaseolina diseased plants treated with B. subtilis. The result of this study suggests that B. subtilis interaction with plants can modulate the metabolism of pigments, hormones, antioxidants and nutrients against M. phaseolina to induce disease resistance in mung bean.  相似文献
