Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) includes soilborne bacterial plant pathogens with worldwide distribution and wide host ranges. Virulence factors are regulated via four hierarchically organized cell-cell contact independent quorum-sensing (QS) signalling systems: the Phc, which uses as signals (R)-methyl 3-hydroxypalmitate [(R)-3-OH PAME] or (R)-methyl 3-hydroxymyristate [(R)-3-OH MAME], the N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL)-dependent RasI/R and SolI/R systems, and the recently identified anthranilic acid-dependent system. The unique Phc QS system has been extensively studied; however, the role of the two AHL QS systems has only recently been addressed. In this microreview, we present and discuss current data of the SolI/R and RasI/R QS systems in the RSSC. We also present the distribution and frequency of these AHL QS systems in the RSSC, discuss possible ecological roles and evolutive implications. The complex QS hierarchical networks emphasizes the crucial role of cell-cell signalling in the virulence of the RSSC.

Salinity stress and recovery of the algal-bacterial granular sludge (ABGS) system under the influence of different N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs).

The algal-bacterial granular sludge (ABGS) system was established to explore the effect of 1% salinity condition, determine the recovery process following salinity disturbance, and probe the impacts of two N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) on the system. Exposure to 1% salinity led to the reduction of filaments and an increase in TB-EPS contents within the ABGS system. The phosphorus removal performance of the ABGS system severely decreased at 1% salinity and did not restore fully during the subsequent recovery stage, demonstrating that salinity stress induced long-term inhibition.

The control of avocado pests and diseases heavily relies on the use of several types of pesticides, some of which are strictly monitored or not internationally accepted. New sources of bioactive molecules produced by phytopathogen-inhibiting microorganisms offer an excellent alternative for the control of pests and diseases. This study explores the potential antagonistic action against phytopathogenic microorganisms, using bacterial strains obtained from avocado thrips.
