Bacillus mycoides strain BM02 originally isolated from the tomato rhizosphere was found to have beneficial functions in by promoting plant growth and reducing severity of Fusarium wilt caused oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol). Cytological experiments demonstrated B. reduced Fol invasion spore attachment increasing hyphal deformation hydroponics-grown root tissues. Two volatile antifungal compounds, phenylacetic acid (PAA) methylphenyl acetate (MPA), were identified culture filtrates GC-MS...
A Burkholderia gladioli strain, named BBB-01, was isolated from rice shoots based on the confrontation plate assay activity against several plant pathogenic fungi. The genome of this bacterial strain consists two circular chromosomes and one plasmid with 8,201,484 base pairs in total. Pangenome analysis 23 B. strains suggests that BBB-01 has closest evolutionary relationship to pv. agaricicola. emitted dimethyl disulfide 2,5-dimethylfuran when it cultivated lysogeny broth potato dextrose...
A GATA zinc finger-containing repressor (AaSreA) suppresses siderophore biosynthesis in the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata under iron-replete conditions. In this study, targeted gene deletion revealed two bZIP-containing transcription factors (AaHapX and AaAtf1) three CCAAT-binding proteins (AaHapB, AaHapC, AaHapE) that positively regulate expression production. This is a novel phenotype regarding Atf1 biosynthesis. Quantitative RT-PCR analyses only AaHapX AaSreA were regulated...
ABSTRACT We announce the finished genome sequence of soil forest isolate Collimonas arenae Cal35, which comprises a 5.6-Mbp chromosome and 41-kb plasmid. The Cal35 is second one published for bacterial genus represents first opportunity high-resolution comparison content synteny among collimonads.
Nanosilver is thought to hold potential for use in medical materials. The safety of newly developed poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride)-coated silver nanoparticles (SMA-AgNPs) requires investigation. In this study, three vitro and vivo experiments investigating genetic toxicity–the Ames test, a micronucleus assay, chromosome aberration test–were conducted. Results from the testing showed SMA-AgNPs have negative effect, either with or without S9 metabolism. addition, increased number...
A 21-week-old male untreated control SHR/NCrlNarl rat was found dead during an experiment. Grossly, pulmonary lesions were characterized by multifocal to coalescing firm gray-white nodules randomly scattered on the surface. Microscopically, bronchopneumonia with pyogranulomas containing neutrophils, macrophages, and numerous thick-walled yeast cells. Yeast cells, 5 25 μm in diameter, no branching of hyphae observed staining hematoxylin eosin, Diff-Quik, periodic acid-Schiff. Furthermore,...
