Four Gram-negative bacterial strains, recovered from clay soils cultivated with different crops in the Netherland, were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study in order to clarify their taxonomic status. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that they belong to the genus Lysobacter and to be highly related to the type strains of L. antibioticus DSM 2044(T), L. gummosus DSM 6980(T), and L. capsici DSM 19286(T), displaying 99.1-99.3%, 99.2-99.6% and 99.4-100% sequence similarities, respectively, to these species. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization studies unambigiously indicated that the four strains belonged to the species L. capsici. Nevertheless, DNA fingerprinting and phenotypic characterization indicated that there was a considerable diversification and niche differentiation among the strains belonging to L. capsici. The newly identified L. capsici strains strongly inhibit Rhizoctonia solani AG2 and originate from Rhizoctonia-suppressive soils where also populations of L. antibioticus and L. gummosus were present. This is the first report of the presence of combined populations of closely related Lysobacter spp. within agricultural soils.

Microbial inoculants offer an environmentally friendly approach to enhance plant growth and control disease. In this study, two strains, HKSSLJEBR3 (R3) and Ya-1 were isolated from pepper plant roots and tropical rainforest soil, respectively. Both strains exhibited strong antifungal activity against f.

Aims: This study aimed to assess the mode of action of fusaric and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acids on cell respiration by measuring the hyphal oxygen consumption rate, and the effects on cell membrane integrity by determining the electrical conductivity of the mycelium.
Methods And Results: Bioactivity-directed fractionation of the active culture medium and mycelium organic extracts from the Fusarium lactis strain SME13-2 isolated from Sapium macrocarpum led to the isolation of two known alkylpicolinic acid derivatives: fusaric acid and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid, along with the known polyketide bikaverin. Fusaric acid and 9,10-dehydrofusaric acid exhibited antioomycete and antifungal activities, significantly inhibiting the radial growth of Phytophthora capsici, Pythium aphanidermatum, Alternaria alternata, and F.

Six strains isolated from muskmelon and watermelon seedlings affected by stem rot and wilting in Serbia were reported as based on pathogenicity, LOPAT and cell wall fatty acid analyses. Recent bacterial isolates from cucurbit crops displaying -like symptoms in Alabama, USA, were identified as , prompting polyphasic re-evaluation of the Serbian strains. All six strains were found to cause severe disease in watermelon and squash seedlings under greenhouse conditions.

Phytopathogenic oomycetes, particularly , the causal agent of Phytophthora blight disease in essential vegetables and fruit crops, remains a persistent challenge in the vegetable production industry. However, the core molecular regulators of the pathophysiology and broad-range host characteristics of remain unknown. Here, we used transcriptomics and CRISPR-Cas9 technology to functionally characterize the contributions of a novel gene () coding for a hypothetical protein with a tubulin-binding cofactor C domain with a putative chloroplast-targeting peptide (cTP) to the pathophysiological development of .

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming bacteria, designated as strain MH1 and MH2, were isolated from branches of wilted pepper plants () collected from a farmland in Machong town, Guangdong, China, and investigated using a polyphasic approach. MH1 grew at temperatures of 4-42 °C (optimum 28 °C), with 0-6.0 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 4.
