A rapid and confident tool to identify and diagnose bacterial pathogens with more accuracy using DNA as fingerprints is necessary. Herein, we report a smart chemosensor having a terminal adenine sticking to the thymine of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) through supramolecular interactions and, which leaves ssDNA when the same ssDNA matches with the targeting desired DNA. We have synthesized a naked-eye coloured chemosensor with carbazole. As a model genetic material, DNA of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis was hybridized to ssDNA and immobilized over nitrocellulose membrane. The prepared adenine-chemosensor, by passing through the nitrocellulose-ssDNA membrane caused the formation of ssDNA nitrocellulose-ssDNA-adenine-chemosensor. FTIR results of the immobilized ssDNAs showed that the matching of same ssDNA releases the adenine-chemosensor from the surface of nitrocellulose-ssDNA that results in formation of the double stranded DNA. The selectivity of chemosensor was also confirmed with different bacterial DNA (Bacillus subtilis) as control. These data highlights accurate and reliable results of a new diagnostic kit prototype promising for further studies, which is able to diagnose DNA quickly and precisely.

Картофель поражается с заметным экономическим ущербом по меньшей мере 54 видами фитопатогенных грибов, 39 видами вирусов, 19 видами нематод, 3 видами фитоплазм и 11 видами бактерий. Бактериальные патогены вызывают болезни различной этиологии: от мокрой гнили до «зебры чипсов». Примерно 8-12 лет назад появились первые сообщения о проникновении и распространении новых возбудителей бактериозов во всех регионах России, в том числе о заболеваниях, вызываемых бактериями родов Dickeya dianthicola, D. solani и Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. В связи с усилением в России вредоносности бактериальных болезней картофеля, вызываемых различными группами бактерий, необходима точная идентификация патогенов, изучение путей их распространения, сохранения и разработка мер борьбы, ограничивающих распространение и обеспечивающих снижение ущерба от бактериальных болезней. Мы оценили распространение бактериальных патогенов картофеля как на основе собственных данных, так и по опубликованным сообщениям.Potato is affected at least by 54 species of phytopathogenic fungi, 39 viruses, 19 species of nematodes, 3 species of phytoplasmas, and 11 species of bacteria. Bacterial pathogens can cause diseases of different etiology: from "soft rot" to “zebra chips”. About 8-12 years ago, the increased severity of bacterial diseases in regions of Russia was reported, including diseases, caused by bacteria of genus Dickeya and Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. In connection with the increased harmfulness of bacterial diseases of sugar beet in Russia, caused by different groups of bacteria, we need an accurate identification of the pathogens, ways of their distribution, preservation, and search for control measures to limit the spread and reduce the damage from bacterial diseases of potato. We assessed and confirmed the distribution of potato bacterial pathogens based on own data as well as on reported incidence.

The study involved the selection of two isolates from Bacillus subtilis to investigate their inhibitory activity against some bacterial pathogens. B sub-bacteria were found to have a broad spectrum against test bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They were about 23-30 mm and less against Klebsiella sp. The sensitivity of some antibodies was tested on the test samples. The results showed that the inhibitory ability of bacterial growth in the test samples using B. subtilis extract was more effective than the antibiotics used.

The synthesis of a new phenolphthalein azide derivative, which can be easily utilized in polymer analogous reactions, is presented. The subsequent cycloaddition reaction with propargyl-functionalized methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) yielded polymers bearing phenolphthalein as the covalently attached end group. In presence of per-β-cyclodextrin-dipentaerythritol, the formation of stable inclusion complexes was observed, representing an interesting approach towards the formation of star shaped polymers. The decolorization of a basic polymer solution caused by the complexation was of great advantage since this behavior enabled following the complex formation by UV–vis spectroscopy and even the naked eye.

Attempts at Biological Control ofClavibacter michiganensissubsp.michiganensisOn Rockwool-Grown Greenhouse TomatoesTwo greenhouse experiments were conducted in which tomato plants artificially inoculated withClavibacter michiganensissubsp.michiganensis(Cmm) were grown in an open rockwool system as spring and autumn crops. Two isolates of the rhizosphere bacteria,Pseudomonas fluorescensstrain PSR21,Pseudomonas reactansstrain GGS14, a commercial biocontrol agent Aqua Bac Plus (Bacillusspp.) and a proprietary disinfectant containing QAC+Chx, applied at weekly intervals, were evaluated for their efficiency in the suppression of the bacterial canker of tomato. All treatments tested revealed to be ineffective in controlling the disease. The introduction ofCmmbacteria into the fresh rockwool in the first year of its usage resulted in a 100% death of tomato plants, whereas following an artificial inoculation of two- and three-year-old rockwool slabs withCmmbacteria dead plants amounted to 70 and 58%, respectively. This indicates that in the re-used rockwool a natural microbial suppressiveness to bacterial canker of tomato might be developed in the root zone.

ABSTRACT Inoculation Techniques of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the Cause of Bacterial Ring Rot Disease, on Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the cause of bacterial ring rot disease on potatoes, has been detected in potato fields in Pangalengan. To anticipate the spread of the pathogen, researches on the desease epidemiology are urgent to be carried out. Artificial inoculation techniques will be useful in the epidemiological studies. The objective of this reasearch was to evaluate some inoculation techniques, which are simple, cheap and fast in causing disease symptoms. The experiment was carried out at the laboratory and glasshouse of Balai Penelitian Tanaman Sayuran (Balitsa), Lembang. The experiment was arranged in the randomized block design with five treatments of inoculation technique and five replications. The treatments were (a) soaking wounded seed tubers in pathogen suspension, (b) soaking not wounded seed tubers in pathogen suspension, (c) pathogen suspension was injected into leaf axil, (d) pathogen suspension was injected into seed tubers, and (e) pathogen suspension was poured into the planting holes. The results showed that stabbing and soaking tubers in pathogen suspension caused the shortest incubation period (17 days after inoculation) and the highest disease incidence (60%).
