Inhibition of Fungal Growth and Induction of a Novel Volatilome in Response to Volatile Organic Compounds.

The study of chemical bioactivity in the rhizosphere has recently broadened to include microbial metabolites, and their roles in niche construction and competition via growth promotion, growth inhibition, and toxicity. Several prior studies have identified bacteria that produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with antifungal activities, indicating their potential use as biocontrol organisms to suppress phytopathogenic fungi and reduce agricultural losses. We sought to expand the roster of soil bacteria with known antifungal VOCs by testing bacterial isolates from wild and cultivated cranberry bog soils for VOCs that inhibit the growth of four common fungal and oomycete plant pathogens, and sp.

Draft Genome Sequence of sp. Strain MWU12-2323, Isolated from a Wild Cranberry Bog in Truro, Massachusetts.

Exploration of novel environments such as low-pH wild cranberry bog soils yields a rich diversity of bacteria, including spp. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of sp. strain MWU12-2323, isolated from wild cranberry plant rhizosphere.

16S rRNA Amplicon Profiling of Cranberry ( Ait.) Flower and Berry Surfaces.

Bacterial populations associated with the surfaces of cranberry flowers and early fruits in wetlands bogs in Eastern Massachusetts were examined using pyrosequencing. The composition of bacterial populations was highly dependent on sample site, but the dominant phyla on both flower and berry surfaces were , , and

Draft Genome Sequence of Aquitalea sp. Strain MWU14-2217, Isolated from a Wild Cranberry Bog in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Aquitalea sp. strain MWU14-2217 was isolated from wild cranberry bog soils in the Cape Cod National Seashore. The draft genome is 4.

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas sp. Strain MWU12-2534b, Isolated from a Wild Cranberry Bog in Truro, Massachusetts.

An unknown Pseudomonas sp. most closely related to Pseudomonas ficuserectae and Pseudomonas protegens was isolated from the rhizospheres of wild cranberry plants in the Cape Cod National Seashore, in the United States. The draft genome of MWU12-2534b is 6.

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas sp. Strain MWU13-2860, Isolated from a Wild Cranberry Bog in Truro, Massachusetts.

Pseudomonas sp. strain MWU13-2860 was isolated from the rhizosphere of wild cranberry plants and is not closely related to Pseudomonas spp. frequently isolated from soil.

Draft Genome Sequences of Pseudomonas MWU13-2625 and MWU12-2115, Isolated from a Wild Cranberry Bog at the Cape Cod National Seashore.

Two highly similar Pseudomonas sp. genome sequences from wetland bog soil isolates with draft genomes of ~6.3 Mbp are reported.
