Presence of esterase and laccase in Bacillus subtilis facilitates biodegradation and detoxification of cypermethrin.

ABSTRACT: Ubiquitous presence of cypermethrin as a contaminant in surface stream and soil necessitates to develop potential bioremediation methods to degrade and eliminate this pollutant from the environment. A cypermethrin utilizing bacterial strain (MIC, 450 ?ppm) was isolated from the soil of pesticide contaminated agriculture field and characterized by using polyphasic approach. On molecular basis bacterial isolate showed 98% homology with Bacillus subtilis strain 1D. Under optimized growth conditions, bacteria showed 95% degradation of cypermethrin after 15 days and the end products of cypermethrin biodegradation under aerobic conditions were cyclododecylamine, phenol, 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl 2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylate,1-decanol,chloroacetic acid, acetic acid, cyclopentan palmitoleic acid, and decanoic acid. Amplification of esterase (700?bp) and laccase (1200?bp) genes was confirmed by PCR which showed a possible role of these enzymes in biodegradation of cypermethrin. In the presence of cypermethrin Km value(s) of both the enzymes was low than the control. A nobel cypermethrin degradation pathway followed by B. subtilis was proposed on the basis of characterization of biodegraded products of cypermethrin using GC-MS. Cypermethrin biodegradation ability of Bacillus subtilis strain 1D without producing any toxic end product reveals the potential of this organism in cleaning of pesticide contaminated soil and water.

Project description:Plant pathogens have evolved various strategies to enter hosts and cause diseases. Particularly Neofusicoccum parvum, a member of Botryosphaeria dieback consortium, can secrete the phytotoxins (-)-terremutin and (R)-mellein during grapevine colonization. The contribution of phytotoxins to Botryosphaeria dieback symptoms still remains unknown. Moreover, there are currently no efficient control strategies of this disease, and agro-environmental concerns have raised increasing interest in biocontrol strategies to limit disease spread in vineyards, especially by using some promising beneficial bacteria. Here, we first examined in planta the biocontrol capacity of Bacillus subtilis PTA-271 against N. parvum Np-Bt67 strain producing both (-)-terremutin and (R)-mellein. We then focused on the direct effects of PTA-271 on pathogen growth and the fate of pure phytotoxins, and explored the capacity of PTA-271 to induce or prime grapevine immunity upon pathogen infection or phytotoxin exposure. Results provided evidence that PTA-271 significantly protects grapevine cuttings against N. parvum and significantly primes the expression of PR2 (encoding a β-1,3-glucanase) and NCED2 (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase involved in abscisic acid biosynthesis) genes upon pathogen challenge. Using in vitro plantlets, we also showed that PTA-271 triggers the expression of salicylic acid- and jasmonic acid-responsive genes, including GST1 (encoding a glutathione-S-transferase) involved in detoxification process. However, in PTA-271-pretreated plantlets, exogenous (-)-terremutin strongly lowered the expression of most of upregulated genes, except GST1. Data also indicated that PTA-271 can detoxify both (-)-terremutin and (R)-mellein and antagonize N. parvum under in vitro conditions. Our findings highlight (-)-terremutin and (R)-mellein as key aggressive molecules produced by N. parvum that may weaken grapevine immunity to promote Botryosphaeria dieback symptoms. However, PTA-271 can efficiently attenuate Botryosphaeria dieback by enhancing some host immune responses and detoxifying both phytotoxins produced by N. parvum.
