Synthesis of Extracellular L-lysine-α-oxidase along with Degrading Enzymes by cf. Rifai VKM F-4268D: Role in Biocontrol and Systemic Plant Resistance.

When cultivating on wheat bran or deactivated fungal mycelium as a model of "natural growth", the ability of to synthesize extracellular L-lysine-α-oxidase (LysO) simultaneously with cell-wall-degrading enzymes (proteases, xylanase, glucanases, chitinases, etc.), responsible for mycoparasitism, was shown. LysO, in turn, causes the formation of HO and pipecolic acid.

Changes in motility of the rhizobacterium Azospirillum brasilense in the presence of plant lectins.

The plant-beneficial bacterium Azospirillum brasilense can swim in liquids and swarm or migrate with the formation of microcolonies in soft media. To get closer to understanding the influence of natural environments on A. brasilense motility, we studied the individual and social movement of the bacterium in the presence of various plant lectins.
