Article Abstract

The genus Serratia incorporates many agriculturally important species. Serratia fonticola strain GS2, isolated from a sesame rhizosphere, can produce N-acyl homoserine lactone quorum sensing signal molecules and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Here we report the complete genome sequence and phenotypic characteristics based on genomic information of this bacterium. The complete genome sequence of S. fonticola strain GS2 consists of a chromosome of 6.1 Mbp and two plasmids of 132 kbp and 94 kbp. The genome clusters for IAA and N-acyl homoserine lactone biosynthesis were identified in the genome. Subsequently, the Salkowski test and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis also revealed that the strain GS2 produces indolic compounds (27.1μgmL) and IAA (6.7μgmL) in its culture broth. HPLC analysis confirmed that the strain GS2 produced the quorum sensing signal molecules N-hexanoyl--homoserine lactone and N-octanoyl--homoserine lactone. This new information on the genome sequence and phenotype features will inform future ecological studies related to plant-microbe interactions.

Despite urea being the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer, many plants show reduced growth and protein content when urea is the nitrogen source. The underlying causes of nitrogen metabolism imbalance in urea supply remain unclear. In this study, we discovered that plastidic glutamine synthetase (GS2) can improve the physiological traits and protein production of duckweed cultivated with urea.

Apple replant disease (ARD) is a serious soilborne disease in apple nurseries and orchards worldwide. ARD is the result of an unbalanced soil microbiome in which multiple soilborne plant-pathogenic fungi, oomycetes, and nematodes form a disease complex. Biphenyl and dibenzofuran phytoalexins are found in greater quantities in the roots of apple plants grown in ARD soil compared with disinfected ARD soil.

Article Synopsis
  • Campylobacter concisus is found in both patients with gastrointestinal diseases and healthy individuals, prompting research into how it affects immune response.
  • The study compared IL-8 production in HT-29 cells infected with various C. concisus isolates from patients with different gut conditions including microscopic colitis and ulcerative colitis.
  • Results showed that all isolates increased IL-8 production, with no significant difference across disease types, but the presence of the zot gene appeared to correlate with higher IL-8 levels, suggesting a need for further research into its pathogenic potential.
