The persistence of pathogenic Agrobacterium strains as soil-associated saprophytes may cause an inconsistency in the efficacy of the biocontrol inoculants under field condition. The study of the interaction occurring in the rhizosphere between the beneficial and the pathogenic microbes is thus interesting for the development of effective biopesticides for the management of crown gall disease. However, very little is still known about the influence of these complex interactions on the biocontrol determinants of beneficial bacteria, especially Bacillus strains. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the soil borne pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 on root colonization and lipopeptide production by Bacillus velezensis strain 32a during interaction with tomato plants. Results show that the presence of A. tumefaciens C58 positively impacted the root colonization level of the Bacillus strain. However, negative impact on surfactin production was observed in Agrobacterium-treated seedling, compared with control. Further investigation suggests that these modulations are due to a modified tomato root exudate composition during the tripartite interaction. Thus, this work contributes to enhance the knowledge on the impact of interspecies interaction on the ecological fitness of Bacillus cells living in the rhizosphere.

Promoters are the genomic regions upstream of genes that RNA polymerase binds in order to initiate gene transcription. Understanding the regulation of gene expression depends on being able to identify promoters, because they are the most important component of gene expression. Agrobacterium tumefaciens (A.

Article Synopsis
- A bacterium called C58 causes crown gall disease in plants, and it uses a system to sense and find its host for infection.
- Scientists studied a chemoreceptor called Atu1027 in this bacterium that helps it respond to air and different food sources.
- When they removed Atu1027, the bacterium couldn't move toward air or food as well, and it became less capable of causing disease in plants.

Plants genetically modified by the pathogenic Agrobacterium strain C58 synthesize agrocinopines A and B, whereas those modified by the pathogenic strain Bo542 produce agrocinopines C and D. The four agrocinopines (A, B, C and D) serve as nutrients by agrobacteria and signaling molecule for the dissemination of virulence genes. They share the uncommon pyranose-2-phosphate motif, represented by the l-arabinopyranose moiety in agrocinopines A/B and the d-glucopyranose moiety in agrocinopines C/D, also found in the antibiotic agrocin 84.

Promotors are those genomic regions on the upstream of genes, which are bound by RNA polymerase for starting gene transcription. Because it is the most critical element of gene expression, the recognition of promoters is crucial to understand the regulation of gene expression. This study aimed to develop a machine learning-based model to predict promotors in () strain C58.

Agrobacteria, a group of soilborne phytopathogens causing crown gall disease on various plant species, deploy the T6SS to attack closely and distantly related bacterial species and . Current evidence suggests that the T6SS is not essential for pathogenesis under direct inoculation, but it remains unknown whether the T6SS influences natural disease incidence or the microbial community within crown galls (i.
