In this study, we aimed to screen potential antagonistic microorganisms against , the causal agent of fire blight. From 127 unknown bacterial isolates tested, 2 bacterial strains (BCA3 and BCA19) were identified to show distinct antagonistic activity against in agar plate assay. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16s rRNA sequence identified both BCA3 and BCA19 as . Among these BCA19 showed 13.9% stronger antagonistic activity than BCA3. Thus we further characterized antagonistic activity of BCA19. Culture filtrates () of BCA19 significantly inhibited the swimming and swarming motility of . Ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts of of BCA19 exhibited antibacterial activity in disk diffusion assay. Furthermore, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts of of BCA19 identified antibacterial compounds, including indole and hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione. Importantly, indole inhibited growth of with IC value of 0.109 ± 0.02 mg/mL (~930.4 μM). Whole genome sequence analysis of BCA 19 revealed gene clusters related with siderphore, andrimid, arylpolyene and carotenoid-type terpene production. This study indicates that BCA19 can be used as a potential biological control agent against .

Wings apart-like protein (WAPL) has emerged as a key player in maintaining genome integrity through its regulation of cohesin dynamics, which govern chromatin architecture and gene expression. WAPL mainly acts as a cohesin release factor and ensures proper chromosomal segregation during mitosis by promoting sister chromatid resolution. Owing to its prominent role in cell biology, WAPL dysregulation can cause genomic instability and disrupt chromosomal cohesion, leading to diseases such as cancer.

Fungal diseases in agricultural crops cause economic losses, with chemical control being the conventional method to manage them. However, this approach negatively impacts both the environment and human health. This study focused on endophytic fungi isolated from the roots of Ceratozamia mirandae in the Mexican locality of Juan Sabines (Villa Corzo, Chiapas).

Sweet potato foot rot disease caused by Diaporthe destruens (formerly Plenodomus destruens) severely affects the yield and quality of sweet potatoes. To gain basic knowledge on regulating the pathogen using indigenous soil bacteria, the following organic materials were applied to potted soils collected from a sweet potato field contaminated with D. destruens: Kuroihitomi (compost made from shochu waste and chicken manure), Soil-fine (material made by adsorbing shochu waste on rice bran), and rice bran.

A comprehensive understanding of the interplay between agricultural practices and the rhizosphere microbiome particularly the role of root exudates is essential for harnessing microbial potential in sustainable agriculture. In this study, we investigated how disease-suppressive soil alters root exudate profiles in pepper plants and how these elevated exudates influence rhizosphere microbiome assembly and modulate the antagonistic activity of Bacillus methylotrophicus 400 (BM400) against Phytophthora capsici. GC-MS analysis identified distinct compositional profiles of root exudates in the disease-suppressive soil, with marked enrichment of seven compounds.
