Isolation and Characterization of Beneficial Bacteria Associated with Citrus Roots in Florida

Cultivable diversity of bacteria associated with citrus was investigated as part of a larger study to understand the roles of beneficial bacteria and utilize them to increase the productive capacity and sustainability of agro-ecosystems. Citrus roots from Huanglongbing (HLB) diseased symptomatic and asymptomatic citrus were used in this study. A total of 227 and 125 morphologically distinct colonies were isolated and characterized from HLB asymptomatic and symptomatic trees, respectively. We observed that the frequency of bacterial isolates possessing various plant beneficial properties was significantly higher in the asymptomatic samples. A total of 39 bacterial isolates showing a minimum of five beneficial traits related to mineral nutrition [phosphate (P) solubilization, siderophore production, nitrogen (N) fixation], development [indole acetic acid (IAA) synthesis], health [production of antibiotic and lytic enzymes (chitinase)], induction of systemic resistance [salicylic acid (SA) production], stress relief [production of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase] and production of quorum sensing [N-acyl homoserine lactones] signals were characterized. A bioassay using ethidium monoazide (EMA)-qPCR was developed to select bacteria antagonistic to Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Using the modified EMA-qPCR assay, we found six bacterial isolates showing maximum similarity to Paenibacillus validus, Lysinibacillus fusiformis, Bacillus licheniformis, Pseudomonas putida, Microbacterium oleivorans, and Serratia plymutica could significantly reduce the population of viable Ca. L. asiaticus in HLB symptomatic leaf samples. In conclusion, we have isolated and characterized multiple beneficial bacterial strains from citrus roots which have the potential to enhance plant growth and suppress diseases.     

Diversity of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus," based on the omp gene sequence

Huanglongbing (yellow dragon disease) is a destructive disease of citrus. The etiological agent is a noncultured, phloem-restricted alpha-proteobacterium, "Candidatus Liberibacter africanus" in Africa and "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" in Asia. In this study, we used an omp-based PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) approach to analyze the genetic variability of "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" isolates. By using five different enzymes, each the 10 isolates tested could be associated with a specific combination of restriction profiles. The results indicate that the species "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus," even within a given region, may comprise several different variants. Thus, omp-based PCR-RFLP analysis is a simple method for detecting and differentiating "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" isolates.     

蕙兰病株根部内生细菌种群变化

为了研究褐斑病与蕙兰根部内生细菌群落结构和多样性的关联,从野生蕙兰健株和褐斑病株根部分离出内生细菌112株,采用核糖体DNA扩增片段限制性酶切分析(ARDRA),研究了健株和病株内生细菌多样性与群落结构。将内生细菌纯培养物扩增近全长的16S rDNA,并用ARDRA (Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis) 对所分离的菌株进行分型,根据酶切图谱的差异,将健株中的内生细菌分成8个ARDRA型,病株分成13个ARDRA型。并选取代表性菌株进行16S rDNA序列测定。结果表明,健株分离出内生细菌6个属,优势菌群为Bacillus;病株分离出11个属,优势菌群为 Mitsuaria和Flavobacterium。通过回接兰花植物和初步拮抗实验发现,从病株分离出的H5号菌株 (Flavobacterium resistens)使兰花产生病症,而健株中的B02 (Bacillus cereus) 和B22号菌株 (Burkholderia stabilis) 对菌株H5有拮抗作用。     

越南地区柑橘黄龙病发生及防治

黄龙病是全球广泛发生的毁灭性病害,柑橘木虱为其主要媒介昆虫。越南最早于上个世纪六十年代有相关报道。通过一些国际合作项目,越南对柑橘木虱和黄龙病进行了一系列研究并积极采取措施有效防控:包括消除病株、筛选抗病虫品种、改变种植密度和时间、化学防治与生物防治、作物间种、喷施矿物油乳剂、施用有机肥、使用无病苗和无病接穗并在运输过程中封闭保护等。其中控制黑臭蚁Dolichoderus thoracicus增殖黄猄蚁Oecophylla smaragdina、交错式间种番石榴以控制柑橘木虱和黄龙病值得中国借鉴和参考。     

斑透翅蝉唾液腺细菌群落组成研究

【目的】为明晰蝉类昆虫唾液腺中细菌的组成及其中是否存在内共生菌Candidatus Sulcia muelleri。【方法】以斑透翅蝉Hyalessa maculaticollis (Motschulsky)为材料,采用16S rRNA限制性内切酶片段长度多态性(RFLP)对其唾液腺细菌群落组成进行分析。【结果】斑透翅蝉唾液腺中共存在7种细菌,分别属于变形菌门和厚壁菌门;其中绿脓假单胞杆菌Pseudomonas aeruginosa和肠杆菌Enterobacter sp.为优势细菌,分别占克隆总数的48.7%;另外5种细菌(反硝化细菌热单胞菌Thermomonas brevis、鞘胺醇单胞菌Sphingomonas sp.、芽孢杆菌Bacillus sp.、厌氧球菌Anaerococcus sp.和Methyloversatilis sp.)总共占克隆文库的2.05%。【结论】首次采用分子生物学方法明晰斑透翅蝉唾液腺的细菌群落;其细菌群落组成相对简单,且两种细菌占主导地位;此外,头喙亚目昆虫体内特有的内共生菌Candidatus Sulcia muelleri未在斑透翅蝉唾液腺中检测出,表明该共细菌可能仅在腹部的贮菌体中分布;斑透翅蝉唾液腺中的细菌是否普遍存在于蝉科昆虫唾液腺中以及在取食韧皮部汁液过程中的功能有待进一步研究。     

Diversity and plasticity of the intracellular plant pathogen and insect symbiont "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" as revealed by hypervariable prophage genes with intragenic tandem repeats

"Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" is a psyllid-transmitted, phloem-limited alphaproteobacterium and the most prevalent species of "Ca. Liberibacter" associated with a devastating worldwide citrus disease known as huanglongbing (HLB). Two related and hypervariable genes (hyv(I) and hyv(II)) were identified in the prophage regions of the Psy62 "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" genome. Sequence analyses of the hyv(I) and hyv(II) genes in 35 "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" DNA isolates collected globally revealed that the hyv(I) gene contains up to 12 nearly identical tandem repeats (NITRs, 132 bp) and 4 partial repeats, while hyv(II) contains up to 2 NITRs and 4 partial repeats and shares homology with hyv(I). Frequent deletions or insertions of these repeats within the hyv(I) and hyv(II) genes were observed, none of which disrupted the open reading frames. Sequence conservation within the individual repeats but an extensive variation in repeat numbers, rearrangement, and the sequences flanking the repeat region indicate the diversity and plasticity of "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" bacterial populations in the world. These differences were found not only in samples of distinct geographical origins but also in samples from a single origin and even from a single "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus"-infected sample. This is the first evidence of different "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" populations coexisting in a single HLB-affected sample. The Florida "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" isolates contain both hyv(I) and hyv(II), while all other global "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" isolates contain either one or the other. Interclade assignments of the putative Hyv(I) and Hyv(II) proteins from Florida isolates with other global isolates in phylogenetic trees imply multiple "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" populations in the world and a multisource introduction of the "Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus" bacterium into Florida.     

Rapid, specific and quantitative assays for the detection of the endophytic bacterium Methylobacterium mesophilicum in plants

Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterium that causes citrus variegated chlorosis disease in sweet orange. There is evidence that X. fastidiosa interacts with endophytic bacteria present in the xylem of sweet orange, and that these interactions, particularly with Methylobacterium mesophilicum, may affect disease progress. However, these interactions cannot be evaluated in detail until efficient methods for detection and enumeration of these bacteria in planta are developed. We have previously developed standard and quantitative PCR-based assays specific for X. fastidiosa using the LightCycler system [Li, W.B., Pria Jr., L.P.M.W.D., X. Qin, and J.S. Hartung, 2003.Presence of Xylella fastidiosa in sweet orange fruit and seeds and its transmission to seedlings. Phytopathology 93:953-958.], and now report the development of both standard and quantitative PCR assays for M. mesophilicum. The assays are specific for M. mesophilicum and do not amplify DNA from other species of Methylobacterium or other bacteria commonly associated with citrus or plant tissue. Other bacteria tested included Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens, Pantoea agglomerans, Enterobacter cloacae, Bacillus sp., X. fastidiosa, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. We have demonstrated that with these methods we can quantitatively monitor the colonization of xylem by M. mesophilicum during the course of disease development in plants artificially inoculated with both bacteria.
