Anthracnose caused by Glomerella cingulata is one of the most devastating diseases of strawberry in Japan, particularly during its nursery period in the summer. In this study, we aimed to isolate and screen endophytic actinobacteria, to identify potential biocontrol agents capable of suppressing strawberry anthracnose. A total of 226 actinobacteria...

Outer membrane protein U (OmpU) is a major porin from Vibrio alginolyticus and has been considered a vaccine candidate against infection by V. alginolyticus. After pre-incubated with polyclonal antibody against rOmpU, V. alginolyticus showed a 78% decrease in extracellular iron level, suggesting that interruption of OmpU could increase intracellula...

Methionine is critical for variety of metabolic processes in biological organisms, acting as a precursor or intermediate for many final products. The last step for the synthesis of methionine is the methylation of homocysteine, which is catalyzed by MetE. Here, we use Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 to study the regulation of the metE+ ...

Vibrio alginolyticus is an opportunistic pathogen that is a threat to the aquaculture industry. Evidence has revealed critical roles for small RNAs (sRNAs) in bacterial physiology and pathology by modulating gene expression post transcription. However, little information about sRNA-mediated regulation in V. alginolyticus is available. We experiment...

Microorganisms are able to adapt to multiple adverse environmental conditions that facilitate their survival. These microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and protozoans are exposed to different abiotic and biotic challenges throughout their life. Adaptations help these organisms to overcome the challenges and evolve as successfu...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary produces a resistance structure called sclerotium, which guarantees its survival in soil for long periods. Morphological and melanization aspects during sclerotial development were evaluated by microscopy and qRT-PCR techniques. S. sclerotiorum produces sclerotia with different phases of maturation and melani...

Through extracellular electron transfer (EET), bacteria are capable of transforming different insoluble materials of geochemical interest into energy-rich molecules for their growth. For this process, bacteria have been depending directly or indirectly on molecules synthesized within the cells or by various synthetics as mediators. Herein, we studi...

Due to emergence of drug resistant pathogens, nearly all available medicines are becoming ineffective against these life threatening pathogens so there is dire need for the discovery of compounds having unique modes of action. During our previous studies, actinomycetes designated as 196 and RI.24 were isolated, screened for bioactive compounds prod...

Non-conventional yeasts (NCYs), i.e. all yeasts other than Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are emerging as novel production strains and gain more and more attention to exploit their unique properties. Yet, these yeasts can hardly compete against the advanced methodology and genetic tool kit available for exploiting and engineering S. cerevisiae. Currentl...

The aim of this work was to investigate the early detection of anthracnose and soft rot diseases in cold stored strawberry fruit by evaluating the CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by the fungi Colletotrichum fragariae and Rhizopus stolonifer. Strawberries were stored at 5, 10 and 21 °C (control group) and the VOCs and CO2 producti...
