    Abstract: A Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, HP15 T , was isolated from aggregates taken from surface waters of the German Wadden Sea (German Bight). Of 82 marine isolates, HP15 T was chosen for further study because of its high potential to induce production of transparent exopolymeric particles and aggregate formation while interacting with the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii . HP15 T grew optimally at 34–38 °C and pH 7.0–8.5, and was able to tolerate salt concentrations of 0.5–20 % (w/v) NaCl. HP15 T was characterized chemotaxonomically by possessing ubiquinone-9 as the major respiratory lipoquinone, as well as C 16 : 0 , C 18 : 1 ω9 c and C 16 : 1 ω7 c /iso-C 15 : 0 2-OH as the predominant fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain HP15 T was 56.9 mol%. The closest relative based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was the type strain of Marinobacter flavimaris , with 99 % similarity. Whole-genome relatedness values of HP15 T to the type strains of M. flavimaris , Marinobacter salsuginis , Marinobacter lipolyticus and Marinobacter algicola were less than 70 %, as determined by DNA–DNA hybridization. On the basis of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties as well as phylogenetic analyses, the isolate represents a novel species, Marinobacter adhaerens sp. nov.; the type strain is HP15 T ( = DSM 23420 T  = CIP 110141 T ).

    Abstract: Alga-bacterium interactions are crucial for aggregate formation and carbon cycling in aquatic systems. To understand the initiation of these interactions, we investigated bacterial chemotaxis within a bilateral model system. Marinobacter adhaerens HP15 has been demonstrated to attach to the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii and induce transparent exopolymeric particle and aggregate formation. M. adhaerens possesses one polar flagellum and is highly motile. Bacterial cells were attracted to diatom cells, as demonstrated by addition of diatom cell homogenate or diatom culture supernatant to soft agar, suggesting that chemotaxis might be important for the interaction of M. adhaerens with diatoms. Three distinct chemotaxis-associated gene clusters were identified in the genome sequence of M. adhaerens , with the clusters showing significant sequence similarities to those of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Mutations in the genes cheA , cheB , chpA , and chpB , which encode histidine kinases and methylesterases and which are putatively involved in either flagellum-associated chemotaxis or pilus-mediated twitching motility, were generated and mutants with the mutations were phenotypically analyzed. Δ cheA and Δ cheB mutants were found to be swimming deficient, and all four mutants were impaired in biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces. Comparison of the HP15 wild type and its chemotaxis mutants in cocultures with the diatom revealed that the fraction of bacteria attaching to the diatom decreased significantly for mutants in comparison to that for the wild type. Our results highlight the importance of M. adhaerens chemotaxis in initiation of its interaction with the diatom. In-depth knowledge of these basic processes in interspecies interactions is pivotal to obtain a systematic understanding of organic matter flux and nutrient cycling in marine ecosystems.

    Abstract: In the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea PG4180 and other bacterial species, synthesis of the exopolysaccharide levan is catalyzed by the extracellular enzyme levansucrase. The results of Southern blotting and PCR analysis indicated the presence of three levansucrase-encoding genes in strain PG4180: lscA , lscB , and lscC . In this study, lscB and lscC were cloned from a genomic library of strain PG4180. Sequence analysis of the two lsc genes showed that they were virtually identical to each other and highly similar to the previously characterized lscA gene. lscA and lscC had a chromosomal location, whereas lscB resided on an indigenous plasmid of PG4180. Mutants with impaired expression of individual lsc genes and double mutants were generated by marker exchange mutagenesis. Determination of levansucrase activities in these mutants revealed that the lscB gene product was secreted but not that of lscA or lscC . Our results indicated that lscB and lscC but not lscA contributed to periplasmic levan synthesis of PG4180. The lscB lscC double mutant was completely defective in levan formation and could be complemented by either lscB or lscC. Our data suggested a compartment-specific localization of two lsc gene products, with LscB being the secreted, extracellular enzyme and LscC being the predominantly periplasmic levansucrase. Results of Western blot analyses indicated that lscA was not expressed and that lscA was not associated with levansucrase activities in any particular protein fraction. LscA could be detected in PG4180 only when transcribed from the vector-borne P lac promoter. PCR screening in various P. syringae strains with primers derived from the three characterized lsc genes demonstrated the presence of multiple Lsc isoenzymes in other P. syringae pathovars.

    Abstract: Fungi infections cause approximately 60–70% yield loss through diseases such as rice blast, powdery mildew, Fusarium rot, downy mildew, etc. Plants naturally respond to these infections by eliciting an array of protective metabolites to confer physical or chemical protection. Among plant metabolites, lignin, a phenolic compound, thickens the middle lamella and the secondary cell walls of plants to curtail fungi infection. The biosynthesis of monolignols (lignin monomers) is regulated by genes whose transcript abundance significantly improves plant defense against fungi. The catalytic activities of lignin biosynthetic enzymes also contribute to the accumulation of other defense compounds. Recent advances focus on modifying the lignin pathway to enhance plant growth and defense against pathogens. This review presents an overview of monolignol regulatory genes and their contributions to fungi immunity, as reported over the last five years. This review expands the frontiers in lignin pathway engineering to enhance plant defense.

    Abstract: The potential spread of infectious diseases in response to climate change and rising sea surface temperatures in temperate regions has been a growing concern for the past several decades. Extreme heat waves in the North Atlantic and North Sea regions have been correlated with an increase in human Vibrio infections; of particular concern to human health are Vibrio cholerae , Vibrio parahaemolyticus , and Vibrio vulnificus . While these species are well-known to cause disease in humans, most environmental strains are not pathogenic. Studying not only the behavior of the pathogenic strains, but that of non-pathogenic environmental isolates, may better elucidate their ecological relationship in their native microbiome and the dispersal of these species in coastal regions. Using red fluorescent protein-tagged and gentamycin-resistant V. cholerae , V. parahaemolyticus , and V. vulnificus strains, we investigated whether increasing temperatures confer greater competitive fitness to these species when incubated within a natural North Sea water sample still containing its microbiome in a small-scale niche investigation. Increased incubation temperatures alone did not confer a competitive advantage to V. cholerae , V. parahaemolyticus , and V. vulnificus . The microbial community could limit Vibrio growth at all temperatures. To the best of our knowledge, we also demonstrate the first (albeit unintentional) genetic modification of multiple species of marine bacteria through the introduction of a genetically modified V. vulnificus strain into a natural water sample in a contained system.

    Abstract: Genes involved in pathogenicity of several plant pathogens were shown to be induced at relatively cold temperatures. Loci from the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) induced at 18 °C were identified using the miniTn5 transposon that contains the promoterless reporter gene gusA coding for β-glucuronidase (GUS). Certain mutants (2.7%) expressed GUS predominantly at 18 °C on minimal medium plates, indicating that the transposon had been inserted downstream of a putatively thermoregulated promoter. Those mutants were further screened with a quantitative GUS fluorometric assay. A total of 21 mutants were selected: 19 mutants had a transposon insertion in temperature-dependent genetic loci, with a 2.2- to 6.3-fold induction of gusA gene expression at 18 °C, and two mutants with impaired growth at 18 °C. Some of these genetic loci encoded (i) proteins implicated in flagella biosynthesis, biotin biosynthesis, multi-drug efflux, and type II secretion protein, and (ii) proteins of unknown function.Key words: fire blight, Erwinia amylovora, transposon mutagenesis, gene regulation, low temperature.
