Lipopeptide production in Pseudomonas sp. strain DSS73 is regulated by components of sugar beet seed exudate via the Gac two-component regulatory system.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas sp. strain DSS73 isolated from the sugar beet rhizosphere produces the cyclic lipopeptide amphisin, which inhibits the growth of plant-pathogenic fungi. By Tn5::luxAB mutagenesis, we obtained two nonproducing mutant strains, DSS73-15C2 and DSS73-12H8. The gene interrupted by the transposon in strain DSS73-15C2 (amsY) encoded a protein with homology to peptide synthetases that was designated amphisin synthetase. DSS73-12H8 carried the transposon in a regulatory gene encoding a protein with homology to the sensor kinase GacS. Growth of strain DSS73-15C2 (amsY) was impaired during the transition to stationary phase in a minimal medium amended with an exudate of sugar beet seeds. This growth phenotype could be complemented by purified amphisin. Seed exudate further induced expression of bioluminescence from the amsY::luxAB reporter during the transition to stationary phase. This agreed with an increase in amphisin production by the DSS73 wild-type strain during early stationary phase. Amphisin synthesis in DSS73 was strictly dependent on GacS, and even induction by seed exudate depended on a functional gacS locus. Hence, a signal triggering the GacS/GacA two-component system appeared to be present in the seed exudate.

Project description:The ban imposed by the European Union on the use of neonicotinoids as sugar beet seed treatments was based on the exposure of bees to residues of neonicotinoids in pollen and nectar of succeeding crops. To address this concern, residues of thiamethoxam (TMX) and clothianidin (CTD) were analyzed in soil collected from fields planted in at least the previous year with thiamethoxam-treated sugar beet seed. This soil monitoring program was conducted at 94 sites across Germany in two separate years. In addition, a succeeding crop study assessed residues in soil, guttation fluid, pollen, and nectar sampled from untreated succeeding crops planted in the season after thiamethoxam seed-treated sugar beet at eight field sites across five countries. The overall mean residues observed in soil monitoring were 8.0 ± 0.5 µg TMX + CTD/kg in the season after the use of treated sugar beet seed. Residue values decreased with increasing time interval between the latest thiamethoxam or clothianidin application before sugar beet drilling and with lower application frequency. Residues were detected in guttation fluid (2.0-37.7 µg TMX/L); however, the risk to pollinators from this route of exposure is likely to be low, based on the reported levels of consumption. Residues of thiamethoxam and clothianidin in pollen and nectar sampled from the succeeding crops were detected at or below the limit of quantification (0.5-1 µg a.i./kg) in 86.7% of pollen and 98.6% of nectar samples and, unlike guttation fluid residues, were not correlated with measured soil residues. Residues in pollen and nectar are lower than reported sublethal adverse effect concentrations in studies with honeybee and bumble bee individuals and colonies fed only thiamethoxam-treated sucrose, and are lower than those reported to result in no effects in honeybees, bumble bees, and solitary bees foraging on seed-treated crops.
