The aim of this work was to assess the in vitro antimicrobial effects that wastewaters from alpeorujo oil extraction have against phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi. Alpeorujo was stored for 6 months and then processed to extract its oil, pomace, and a new liquid waste (OWSA), which was characterized by its content in phenolic compounds. OWSA at 20% decreased bu >4 log the population of Erwinia spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Clavibacter spp. viable cells in test tubes, whereas OWSA at 50% in agar medium was necessary to inhibit mycelial growth of most fungi. It was found that the bactericidal effect was due to the joint action of low molecular mass phenolic compounds, although neither hydroxytyrosol, its glucosides, hydroxytyrosol glycol, nor a glutaraldehyde-like compound individually explained this bioactivity. Hence, OWSA constitutes a promising natural solution to fight plant phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Background: Actinobacteria are major producers of antibacterial and antifungal metabolites and are growing their search for substances of biotechnological interest, especially for use in agriculture, among other applications. The Amazon is potentially rich in actinobacteria; however, almost no research studies exist. Thus, we present a study of the occurrence and antifungal potential of actinobacteria from the rhizosphere of , a native South American plant and one that is economically useful in the whole of the Amazon.

Background: Plant diseases caused by plant pathogens pose a great threat to biodiversity and food security, and the problem of drug resistance caused by traditional antibiotics and fungicides is becoming more and more serious. It is urgent to develop new antibacterial molecules with low toxicity and high efficiency. Marinoquinoline A is an alkaloid isolated from marine actinomycetes and has a variety of pharmacological activities.

The biochemical makeup of any organism provides insight into key factors regarding its biological functions. These factors can be explored using proteomics, which allows us to obtain a snapshot of the protein content and abundance in an organism, cell type or sub-cellular compartment. Here, we describe proteomic methodologies that can be used to dissect the biochemical mechanism of phytopathogenicity in oomycetes.

The increasing health and environmental risks associated with synthetic chemical pesticides necessitate the exploration of safer, sustainable alternatives for plant protection. This study investigates a novel biosynthesized antimicrobial peptide (AMP) from strain IT, identified as the amino acid chain PRKGSVAKDVLPDPVYNSKLVTRLINHLMIDGKRG, for its efficacy in controlling bacterial wilt (BW) disease in tomato () caused by . Our research demonstrates that foliar application of this AMP at a concentration of 200 ppm significantly reduces disease incidence by 49.
