雪腐核盘菌菌核的萌发条件与致死温度

菌核是核盘菌Sclerotinia spp.在土壤中的主要存活形式和菌核病的主要初侵染源,在土壤中可存活8年以上,其数量和存活状况直接影响着菌核病的发生和危害程度。本研究以雪腐核盘菌Sclerotinia nivalis菌株SS-TB为材料,分析了菌核萌发的影响因素、致死温度以及土壤温度对菌核存活的影响。结果表明,未成熟菌核较成熟菌核更容易萌发;菌核萌发的最佳温度为20-25℃、pH为3.0-4.0、土壤含水量为20%-45%。菌核长时间浸泡水中对其存活不利,浸泡30d以后,存活率开始急剧下降,至47d时存活率为0。雪腐核盘菌菌核具有较强的耐高温特性,随着温度和处理时间的增加,菌核萌发率呈下降趋势。菌核在水浴中85℃ 5min、80℃ 10min、75℃ 10min、70℃ 30min、65℃ 120min、60℃ 180min时全部丧失活力。在土壤温度30℃和35℃处理5周、40℃和45℃处理4周时菌核全部失去活力。该研究结果为通过水旱轮作和土壤高温处理来防治西洋参菌核病提供了理论基础。

Nematicidal action of chitinases produced by the fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium under laboratorial conditions

Nematophagous fungi produce chitinases that may be important in the process of infection of eggs and larvae of nematodes. This study aimed to produce, purify, characterise and test the nematicidal action of extracellular chitinases produced by Monacrosporium thaumasium on Panagrellus redivivus. Mycelia from M. thaumasium were used to inoculate a solid medium for chitinase production. The enzymes were purified using a specific technique of adsorption for chitinases. The chitinase activity was determined at different pHs and temperatures. NF34 produced two distinct chitinases (27 and 30 kDa). After 72 hours, these enzymes provided a significant reduction (80%; p < 0.01) of the number of P. redivivus larvae, compared to control. It was shown that isolate NF34 produced chitinases with nematicidal activity. Thus, other experimental designs on geohelminths or even arthropods that transmit diseases may become a new aspect of the field of study of biological control using predatory nematophagous fungi.     

Antifungal Activity of Chitinases from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trichoderma aureoviride</Emphasis> DY-59 and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhizopus microsporus</Emphasis> VS-9

Two chitinolytic fungal strains, Trichoderma aureoviride DY-59 and Rhizopus microsporus VS-9, were isolated from soil samples of Korea and Vietnam, respectively. DY-59 and VS-9 crude chitinases secreted by these fungi in the 0.5% swollen chitin culture medium had an optimal pH of 4 and the optimal temperatures of 40°C and 60°C, respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis products from crab swollen chitin were N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) by DY-59 chitinase, and GlcNAc and N, N′-diacetylchitobiose (GlcNAc)₂ by VS-9 chitinases. The chitinases degraded the cell wall of Fusarium solani hyphae to produce oligosaccharides, among which GlcNAc, (GlcNAc)₂, and pentamer (GlcNAc)₅ were identified by high-pressure liquid chromatography. DY-59 and VS-9 chitinases inhibited F. solani microconidial germination by more than 70% and 60% at final protein concentrations of 5 and 27 μg mL⁻¹, respectively, at 30°C for 20 h treatment.     

Bacillus pumilus SG2 isolated from saline conditions produces and secretes two chitinases

AIMS: Isolation and characterization of chitinases from a halotolerant Bacillus pumilus. METHODS AND RESULTS: Bacillus pumilus strain SG2 was isolated from saline conditions. It is able to produce chitinase activity at high salt concentration. SDS-PAGE analysis of the B. pumilus SG2 culture supernatant showed two major bands that were induced by chitin. The amino acid sequence of the two proteins, designated ChiS and ChiL, showed a high homology with the chitinase of B. subtilis CHU26, and chitinase A of B. licheniformis, respectively. N-terminal signal peptide of both proteins was also determined. The molecular weight and isoelectric point of the chitinases were determined to be 63 and 74 kDa, and 4.5 and 5.1, for ChiS and ChiL respectively. The genes encoding for both chitinases were isolated and their sequence determined. The regulation of the chitinase genes is under the control of the catabolite repression system. CONCLUSIONS: Secreted chitinase genes and their flanking region on the genome of B. pumilus SG2 have been identified and sequenced. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first report of a multiple chitinases-producing B. pumilus halotolerant strain. We have identified two chitinases by using a reverse genetics approach. The chitinases show resistance to salt.

The Germination of Vavraia culicis Spores1

Buffered solutions of KCl and NaCl were tested for their stimulatory effect on the germination of variously-aged spores of Vavraia culicis. Germination was optimal in 0.2 M KCl, pH 6.5 for one isolate, and, for another isolate, peaks of germination occurred at pH 7.0 and 9.5. Spores incubated for several hours in suboptimal solutions became unable to germinate under optimal conditions. After being returned to water, they regained their ability to germinate. Calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and ammonium chloride inhibited germination. After ingestion by mosquito larvae, spores germinated near the posterior end of the midgut.     

Formation of endomycorrhizas by an achlorophyllous orchid,Erythrorchis ochobiensis, andAuricularia polytricha

To test the mycorrhizal function of heterobasidiomycetous fungi on achlorophyllous orchids and to examine the symbiotic fungal range of a myco-heterotrophic orchid,Erythrorchis ochobiensis, synthetic cultures of the orchid seed were carried out withAuricularia polytricha isolates from Japan and Mexico. After three and a half mo of incubation, 57.0–70.7% of seeds germinated but none of them showed further growth. When cultured on peat moss at 25°C, the germination rate was 8.7% in the presence of Mexican isolate and 18.0% in the presence of Japanese isolate. Some germinated seeds developed into protocorms, and several seeds incubated with the Mexican isolate developed into plantlets after 5 mo. Pelotons were observed in the cells of protocorms and roots. The results indicated that some heterobasidiomycetous fungi could form endomycorrhizas with a myco-heterotrophic orchid. The results also showed that the symbiont ofE. ochobiensis extends, at least experimentally, to Heterobasidiomycetes. The variances of germination rate and seedling growth were suggested to be affected by the difference of isolates and culture conditions.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Aeromonas caviae</Emphasis> CB101 Contains Four Chitinases Encoded by a Single Gene <Emphasis Type="Italic">chi1</Emphasis>

Aeromonas caviae CB101 secretes four chitinases (around 92, 82, 70, and 55 kDa) into the culture supernatant. A chitinase gene chi1 (92 kDa) was previously studied. To identify the genes encoding the remaining three chitinases, a cosmid library of CB101 was constructed to screen for putative chitinase genes. Nine cosmid clones were shown to contain a chitinase gene on chitin plates. Surprisingly, all the positive clones contained chi1. In parallel, we purified the 55-kDa chitinase (Chi55) from the CB101 culture supernatant by continuous DEAE-Sepharose and Mono-Q anion exchange chromatography. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified chitinase exactly matched the N-terminal sequence of mature Chi1, indicating that the purified chitinase (Chi55) is a truncated form of Chi1. The N- and C-terminal domains of chi1 were cloned, expressed, and purified, separately. Western blots using anti-sera to the N- and C-terminal domains of chi1 on the chitinases of CB101 showed that the four chitinases in the culture supernatant are either chi1 or C-terminal truncations of Chi1. In addition, the CB101 chi1 null mutant showed no chitinolytic activity, while CB101 chi1 null mutant complemented by pUC19chi1 containing chi1 showed all four chitinases in gel activity assay. These data indicated that all four chitinases secreted by CB101 in the culture supernatant are the product of one chitinase gene chi1.     

Production of prodigiosin and chitinases by tropical Serratia marcescens strains with potential to control plant pathogens

The potential of three Serratia marcescens strains (CFFSUR-B2, CFFSUR-B3 and CFFSUR-B4) isolated from tropical regions in Mexico to inhibit the mycelial growth and conidial germination of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, causal agent of fruit anthracnose, was evaluated. The ability of these strains to produce prodigiosin and chitinases when cultivated in oil seed-based media (peanut, sesame, soybean and castor bean) and in Luria–Bertani medium was determined. All of the strains exhibited similar fungal antagonistic activities and inhibited myceliar growth by more than 40% while inhibiting conidial germination by 81–89% (P = 0.01). The highest level of prodigiosin (40 μg/ml) was produced in the peanut-based medium while growth in soybean-based medium allowed the highest production of chitinases (56 units/ml), independent of the strain used. Strain CFFSUR-B2 grown in peanut medium was used to evaluate the effect of inoculum density and initial pH on metabolite production. The amount of prodigiosin produced increased with greater inoculum densities, with an initial density of 1 × 10¹² resulting in the highest production (60 μg/ml). Prodigiosin production was not affected by pH. The strains studied have the advantage of being adapted to tropical climates and are able to produce chitinases in the absence of chitin induction in vitro. These characteristics suggest their potential as biocontrol agents for fungal pathogens in tropical regions of the world.     

Synthesis of Extracellular Chitinase by Wild-Type B-10 and Mutant M-1 Strains of Serratia marcescens

Molecular weights of extracellular chitinases from wild-type B-10 (62, 54, 43, 38, and 21 kDa) and mutant M-1 strains of Serratia marcescens (62, 52, 43, 38, and 21 kDa) were estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the absence of chitin inductors, chitinolytic enzymes were not found in the culture liquid of B-10, whereas M-1 cells produced the chitinase complex (to 470 pU/cell). Crystalline chitin insignificantly stimulated the synthesis of chitinases with molecular weights of 62, 54, and 21 kDa by B-10 (up to 20 pU/cell), but caused oversynthesis of all chitinases by the mutant strain (up to 2600 pU/cell). Colloidal chitin induced the production of chitinases by cells of both strains. Two peaks of chitinolytic activity were observed during cultivation of strains B-10 (350 and 450 pU/cell) and M-1 (2200 and 2400 pU/cell). The first peak of cell productivity was associated with biosynthesis of the chitinase complex. The second peak was related to the synthesis of enzymes with molecular weights of 54, 43, 38, and 21 kDa (B-10) or 43, 38, and 21 kDa (M-1).
