El empleo de bio-controladores en la agricultura beneficia los aspectos fisiológicos en plantas, a diferencia de la constante aplicación de pesticidas en el cultivo del banano ha ocasionado la pérdida de la sensibilidad en M. fijiensis, reduciendo la microbiota del suelo. El objetivo se enfocó en caracterizar el potencial antagónico de las PGPR en inhibición de germinación de ascósporas y desarrollo micelial de M. fijiensis. Se realizaron cultivos monospóricos de M. fijiensis e identificado por PCR. Se evaluaron los extractos celulares de Pseudomonas putida PB3-6, Klebsiella variicola BO3-4, Enterobacter asburiae BA4-19, Serratia marcescens PM3-8, Enterobacter asburiae PM3-14, Pseudomonas protegens CHA0, Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS417, Pseudomonas veronii R4 y Bacillus subtilis ATCC 5540 para sus evaluaciones antagonistas: a) Inhibición del tubo germinativo de las ascósporas al 2% y b) Desarrollo micelial al (2 y 10 %). La PCR empleado en la identificación de M. fijiensis se confirma el producto de amplificación de 1018 pb. El factor antagónico de los extractos celulares al 2 % de PM3-14 y CHA0 inhibe sobre el 80 % al desarrollo de los tubos germinativos. La inhibición al desarrollo micelial del extracto celular al 2 %, de CHA0 logró una efectividad del 54 % y las cepas (PM3-8, PM3-14 y BA4-19) con (32, 26 y 26 %). Al 10 % del extracto de la cepa PM3-8 inhibe el desarrollo micelial con niveles de turbidez de 0,47 (OD600nm). El empleo de estos bio-controladores en la agricultura ofrecerá una alternativa para beneficiar en la reducción del uso de agroquímicos

Abstract Polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHAs) are specifically produced by a wide variety of bacteria, as an intracellular energy reserve in the form of homo- and copolymers of [R]-β-hydroxyalkanoic acids, depending on the C source used for microorganism growth, when the cells are grown under stressing conditions. In this paper we present microbiological accumulation of poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate (PHO) by using a consortium of bacterial strains, Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis, in a rate of 3:1, grown on a fermentation medium based on sodium octanoate as the sole carbon source. The experiments performed in the above mentioned conditions led to the following results: from 18.70 g sodium octanoate (7.72 g/L in the fermentation medium) used up during the bioprocess, 3.93-3.96 g/L dry bacterial biomass and 1.834 - 1.884 g/L PHA, containing 85.83 - 86.8% PHO, were obtained.

Background: Mtx2 is a mosquitocidal toxin produced during the vegetative growth of Lysinibacillus sphaericus. The protein shows synergism with other toxins against mosquito larvae; hence it could be used in mosquito control formulations. The protein expression system is needed for Mtx2 development as a biocontrol agent. Objective: The objective of the study was to set up a Bacillus subtilis system to produce Mtx2 as a secreted protein since the protein contains a putative signal peptide. Methods: Initially, four different promoters (P43, Pspac, PxylA, and PyxiE) were compared for their strength using GFP as a reporter in B. subtilis. Subsequently, six different signal peptides (SacB, Epr, AmyE, AprE, LipA, and Vip3A)were tested in conjunction with the selected promoter and mtx2 to evaluate levels of Mtx2 secreted by B. subtilis WB800, an extracellular protease-deficient strain. Results: The promoter PyxiE showed the highest GFP intensity and was selected for further study. Mtx2 was successfully produced as a secreted protein from signal peptides LipA and AmyE, and exhibited larvicidal activity against Aedesaegypti. Conclusion: B. subtilis was successfully developed as a host for the production of secreted Mtx2 and the protein retained its larvicidal activity. Although the Mtx2 production level still needs improvement, the constructed plasmids could be used to produce other soluble proteins.

AbstractEffects of Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis alone, and in combinations for the management of Meloidogyne incognita, Pectobacterium betavasculorum, and Rhizoctonia solani disease complex of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.), were studied. Application of P. putida or B. subtilis to plants with M. incognita or P. betavasculorum or R. solani singly or in combinations caused a significant increase in plant growth parameters and the activities of defense enzymes. A significant increase in chlorophyll fluorescence attributes, viz., Fv/Fm, ɸPSII, qP, NPQ, and ETR were recorded in plants treated with P. putida or B. subtilis over pathogen-inoculated plants. Inoculation of P. putida results in a higher reduction in galling and nematode multiplication than B. subtilis. Maximum reduction in nematode multiplication and galling occurred when a mixture of P. putida and B. subtilis was used. Soft rot and root rot indices were 3 when Pectobacterium betavasculorum and Rhizoctonia solani were inoculated alone. The disease indices were rated 5 when these pathogens and M. incognita were inoculated in combinations. Inoculation of P. putida/B. subtilis with P. betavasculorum or R. solani reduced soft rot and root rot indices to 2 out of 3, while the use of P. putida + B. subtilis reduced indices to 1. Disease indices were reduced to 2–3 out of 5, when P. putida + B. subtilis were used to plants inoculated with two or three pathogens. The principal component analysis showed significant correlations among the various studied attributes. Two principal components explained a total of 86.1 and 93.4% of the overall data variability. Therefore, the use of P. putida together with B. subtilis had the potential for successful management of disease complex of beetroot.

From the culture medium of Pseudomonas sp. a further Fe containing complex, viz. dicyano- bis(pyridin-2,6-dicarbothioato)-ferrate (III) (2) has been isolated which participates in a ferrate (II)/ferrate (III) redox system (normal potential of-0.013 V) in the range of the redox potentials of cytochromes. Pyridine-2,6-di(monothiocarboxylic acid) which originally has been considered to be characteristic for Pseudomonas putida has been found recently as a metabolite of other bacterial strains (two of which have been characterized in this paper) as well.
