Article Abstract
A characteristic feature of phytopathogenic bacteria is the production of yellow membrane-bound pigments called xanthomonadins. Previous studies showed that 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (3-HBA) was a xanthomonadin biosynthetic intermediate and also, that it had a signaling role. The question of whether the structural isomers 4-HBA and 2-HBA (salicylic acid) have any role in xanthomonadin biosynthesis remained unclear. In this study, we have selectively eliminated 3-HBA, 4-HBA, or the production of both by expression of the , , and gene clusters in the pv. strain XC1. The resulting strains were different in pigmentation, virulence factor production, and virulence. These results suggest that both 3-HBA and 4-HBA are involved in xanthomonadin biosynthesis. When both 3-HBA and 4-HBA are present, pv. prefers 3-HBA for Xanthomonadin-A biosynthesis; the 3-HBA-derived Xanthomonadin-A was predominant over the 4-HBA-derived xanthomonadin in the wild-type strain XC1. If 3-HBA is not present, then 4-HBA is used for biosynthesis of a structurally uncharacterized Xanthomonadin-B. Salicylic acid had no effect on xanthomonadin biosynthesis. Interference with 3-HBA and 4-HBA biosynthesis also affected pv. virulence factor production and reduced virulence in cabbage and Chinese radish. These findings add to our understanding of xanthomonadin biosynthetic mechanisms and further help to elucidate the biological roles of xanthomonadins in pv. adaptation and virulence in host plants.

Misfolding, aggregation and deposition of α-synuclein (α-syn) are major pathologic characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD) and the related synucleinopathy, multiple system atrophy (MSA). The spread of α-syn pathology across brain regions is thought to play a key role in the onset and progression of clinical phenotypes. Thus, there is increasing interest in developing strategies that target and attenuate α-syn aggregation and spread.

Aromatic compounds and arsenic (As) often coexist in the environment. As(III)-oxidizing bacteria can oxidize the more toxic As(III) into the less toxic As(V), and As(V) is easily removed. Microorganisms with the ability to degrade aromatic compounds and oxidize arsenite [As(III)] may have strong potential to remediate co-contaminated water.
