Genomic Differences Between Two Formae Speciales Causing Root Rot in Cucumber.

The host specificity of () formae speciales has been reported to be linked to effector proteins known as Secreted in Xylem (SIX). These genes are associated with the non-autonomous mobile element miniature impala (), normally distributed on the accessory chromosomes. The pattern of associated with effector genes has been used to predict candidate effector profiles which characterize formae speciales.

Genomic Insights into the Microbial Agent MGMM6 for Various Biotechnology Applications.

Microbial biotechnology plays a crucial role in improving industrial processes, particularly in the production of compounds with diverse applications. In this study, we used bioinformatic approaches to analyze the genomic architecture of MGMM6 and identify genes involved in various metabolic pathways that have significant biotechnological potential. Genome mining revealed that MGMM6 consists of a linear chromosome of 6,932,303 bp, with a high G+C content of 73.

Characterization of a Novel Strain MGMM1 Based on Full Genome Analysis and Phenotypic Properties for Biotechnological Applications.

species have gained much attention based on their phenotypic characteristics and their genetic architecture as biological control agents and plant growth-promotor with bioremediation potential. In this study, we analyzed the whole genome of a novel strain, MGMM1, isolated from the rhizosphere of a weed plant () and assayed its phenotypic characteristics, as well as antifungal and biocontrol ability. The whole genome analysis of MGMM1 identified 4259 putative coding sequences, with an encoding density of 95.

Persistence as a Constituent of a Biocontrol Mechanism (Competition for Nutrients and Niches) in PCL1760.

Competition for nutrients and niches (CNN) is known to be one of the mechanisms for biocontrol mostly exhibited by strains. Phenotypic and full genome analysis revealed PCL1760 controlling tomato foot and root rot (TFRR) solely through CNN mechanism. Although the availability of nutrients and motility are the known conditions for CNN, persistence of bacteria through dormancy by ribosomal hibernation is a key phenomenon to evade both biotic and abiotic stress.

Effects of Phenotypic Variation on Biological Properties of Endophytic Bacteria PS17.

The use of microorganism-based products in agricultural practices is gaining more interest as an alternative to chemical methods due to their non-toxic bactericidal and fungicidal properties. Various factors influence the efficacy of the microorganisms used as biological control agents in infield conditions as compared to laboratory conditions due to ecological and physiological aspects. Abiotic factors have been shown to trigger phase variations in bacterial microorganisms as a mechanism for adapting to hostile environments.
