Expression analysis of the genes involved in germination, conidiogenisis and pathogenesis of Metarhizium anisopliae during its saprophytic and pathogenic life stages can help plan strategies to increase its efficacy as a biological control agent. We quantified relative expression levels of the nitrogen response regulator gene (nrr1) and a G-protein regulator of genes involved in conidiogenesis (cag8), using an RT-qPCR assay. Comparisons were made between M. anisopliae var. anisopliae and M. anisopliae var. acridum during germination and conidiogenesis and at different stages of pathogenesis. The cag8 gene was repressed during germination and induced during conidial development and the pathogenic phase, and the nrr1 gene was induced during germination, conidiogenesis and the pathogenic phase. Both genes were more expressed in M. anisopliae var. anisopliae, demonstrating that different varieties of M. anisopliae differ in activation of genes linked to virulence for certain environments and hosts. This suggests that differences among these varieties in the ability to adapt could be attributed not only to specific genomic regions and genes, but also to differential gene expression in this fungus, modulating its ability to respond to environmental stimuli. 相似文献

Brachiaria brizantha is considered one of the preferred fodders among farmers for having high forage yield and large production of root mass. The association of beneficial bacteria with these grasses can be very valuable in the recovery of the pasture areas with nutritional deficiency. With the aim of studying this possibility, we carried out the sampling of soil and roots of B. brizantha in three areas (Nova Odessa-SP, S?o Carlos-SP and Campo Verde-MT, Brazil). Seventy-two bacterial strains were isolated and used in tests to evaluate their biotechnological potential. Almost all isolates presented at least one positive feature. Sixty-eight isolates produced analogues of indole-3-acetic acid, ten showed nitrogenase activity when subjected to the method of increasing the concentration of total nitrogen (total N) in the culture medium and sixty-five isolates showed nitrogenase activity when subjected to acetylene reduction technique. The partial sequencing of 16S rRNA of these isolates allowed the identification of seven main groups, with the prevalence of those affiliated to the genus Stenotrophomonas (69?%). At the end, this work elected the strains C4 (Pseudomonadaceae) and C7 (Rhodospirillaceae) as promising organisms for the development of inoculants due to their higher nitrogenase activity. 相似文献

Mangrove sediments are anaerobic ecosystems rich in organic matter. This environment is optimal for anaerobic microorganisms,
such as sulphate-reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea, which are responsible for nutrient cycling. In this study, the
diversity of these two functional guilds was evaluated in a pristine mangrove forest using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
(DGGE) and clone library sequencing in a 50 cm vertical profile sampled every 5.0 cm. DGGE profiles indicated that both groups
presented higher richness in shallow samples (0–30 cm) with a steep decrease in richness beyond that depth. According to redundancy
analysis, this alteration significantly correlated with a decrease in the amount of organic matter. Clone library sequencing
indicated that depth had a strong effect on the selection of dissimilatory sulphate reductase (dsrB) operational taxonomic units (OTUs), as indicated by the small number of shared OTUs found in shallow (0.0 cm) and deep
(40.0 cm) libraries. On the other hand, methyl coenzyme-M reductase (mcrA) libraries indicated that most of the OTUs found in the shallow library were present in the deep library. These results
show that these two guilds co-exist in these mangrove sediments and indicate important roles for these organisms in nutrient
cycling within this ecosystem. 相似文献

The entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Metarhizium have several
subtilisin-like proteases that are involved in pathogenesis and these have been used
to investigate genes that are differentially expressed in response to different
growth conditions. The identification and characterization of these proteases can
provide insight into how the fungus is capable of infecting a wide variety of insects
and adapt to different substrates. In addition, the pr1A gene has
been used for the genetic improvement of strains used in pest control. In this study
we used quantitative RT-PCR to assess the relative expression levels of the
pr1A gene in M. anisopliae and M.
acridum during growth in different culture conditions and during
infection of the sugar cane borer, Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius.
We also carried out a pathogenicity test to assess the virulence of both species
against D. saccharalis and correlated the results with the pattern
of pr1A gene expression. This analysis revealed that, in both
species, the pr1A gene was differentially expressed under the growth
conditions studied and during the pathogenic process. M. anisopliae
showed higher expression of pr1A in all conditions examined, when
compared to M. acridum. Furthermore, M. anisopliae
showed a greater potential to control D. saccharalis. Taken
together, our results suggest that these species have developed different strategies
to adapt to different growing conditions. 相似文献

A circular cryptic plasmid named pPAGA (2,734 bp) was isolated from Pantoea agglomerans strain EGE6 (an endophytic bacterial isolate from eucalyptus). Sequence analysis revealed that the plasmid has a G+C content of 51% and contains four potential ORFs, 238(A), 250(B), 131(C), and 129(D) amino acids in length without homology to known proteins. The shuttle vector pLGM1 was constructed by combining the pPAGA plasmid with pGFPmut3.0 (which harbors a gene encoding green fluorescent protein, GFP), and the resulting construct was used to over-express GFP in E. coli and P. agglomerans cells. GFP production was used to monitor the colonization of strain EGE6gfp in various plant tissues by fluorescence microscopy. Analysis of EGE6gfp colonization showed that 14 days after inoculation, the strain occupied the inner tissue of Eucalyptus grandis roots, preferentially colonizing the xylem vessels of the host plants. 相似文献

Sugarcane cultivation supports Brazil as one of the largest world sugar and ethanol producer. In order to understand the impact of changing sugarcane harvest from manual to mechanized harvest, we studied the effect of machinery traffic on soil and consequently soil compaction upon soil microbial communities involved in nitrogen cycling. The impact of sugarcane harvest was dependent on soil depth and texture. At deeper soil layers, mechanized harvesting increases the abundance of nitrogen fixers and denitrifying communities (specifically nosZ clade I and II) while manual harvesting increases the abundance of ammonia oxidizers (specifically AOA) and increases denitrifying communities (nosZ clade I and II) on top and at intermediate depth. The effect of change on the harvest system is more evident on sandy soil than on clay soil, where soil indicators of compaction (bulk density and penetration resistance) were negatively correlated with soil microorganisms associated with the nitrogen cycle. Our results point to connections between soil compaction and N transformations in sugarcane fields, besides naming biological variables to be used as proxies for alterations in soil structure. 相似文献

It is believed that the exposure of organisms to harsh climate conditions may select for differential enzymatic activities,
making the surviving organisms a very promising source for bioprospecting. Soil bacteria play an important role in degradation
of organic matter, which is mostly due to their ability to decompose cellulose-based materials. This work focuses on the isolation
and identification of cellulolytic bacteria from soil found in two environments with stressful climate conditions (Antarctica
and the Brazilian semi-arid caatinga). Cellulolytic bacteria were selected using enrichments at high and low temperatures
(4 or 60°C) in liquid media (trypic soy broth—TSB and minimum salt medium—MM) supplemented with cellulose (1%). Many of the
isolates (119 out of 254—46.9%) displayed the ability to degrade carboxymethyl-cellulose, indicating the presence of endoglucolytic
activity, while only a minority of these isolates (23 out of 254—9.1%) showed exoglucolytic activity (degradation of avicel).
The obtained isolates revealed a preferential endoglucolytic activity according to the temperature of enrichments. Also, the
identification of some isolates by partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that the Bacteroidetes (e.g., Pedobacter, Chryseobacterium and Flavobacterium) were the main phylum of cellulolytic bacteria isolated from soil in Antarctica; the Firmicutes (e.g., Bacillus) were more commonly isolated from samples from the caatinga; and Actinobacteria were found in both types of soil (e.g., Microbacterium and Arthrobacter). In conclusion, this work reports the isolation of bacteria able to degrade cellulose-based material from soil at very low
or very high temperatures, a finding that should be further explored in the search for cellulolytic enzymes to be used in
the bioenergy industry. 相似文献
