Identification and Characterization of Nnematicidal Volatile Organic Compounds from Deep-Sea Virgibacillus dokdonensis MCCC 1A00493.

ABSTRACT: Root-knot nematode diseases cause severe yield and economic losses each year in global agricultural production. Virgibacillus dokdonensis MCCC 1A00493, a deep-sea bacterium, shows a significant nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne incognita in vitro. However, information about the active substances of V. dokdonensis MCCC 1A00493 is limited. In this study, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from V. dokdonensis MCCC 1A00493 were isolated and analyzed through solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Four VOCs, namely, acetaldehyde, dimethyl disulfide, ethylbenzene, and 2-butanone, were identified, and their nematicidal activities were evaluated. The four VOCs had a variety of active modes on M. incognita juveniles. Acetaldehyde had direct contact killing, fumigation, and attraction activities; dimethyl disulfide had direct contact killing and attraction activities; ethylbenzene had an attraction activity; and 2-butanone had a repellent activity. Only acetaldehyde had a fumigant activity to inhibit egg hatching. Combining this fumigant activity against eggs and juveniles could be an effective strategy to control the different developmental stages of M. incognita. The combination of direct contact and attraction activities could also establish trapping and killing strategies against root-knot nematodes. Considering all nematicidal modes or strategies, we could use V. dokdonensis MCCC 1A00493 to set up an integrated strategy to control root-knot nematodes.

Project description:The adaptation of sporeformers to extreme environmental conditions is frequently questioned due to their capacity to produce highly resistant endospores that are considered as resting contaminants, not representing populations adapted to the system. In this work, in order to gain a better understanding of bacterial adaptation to extreme habitats, we investigated the phenotypic and genomic characteristics of the halophile Virgibacillus sp. 21D isolated from the seawater-brine interface (SBI) of the MgCl2-saturated deep hypersaline anoxic basin Discovery located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Vegetative cells of strain 21D showed the ability to grow in the presence of high concentrations of MgCl2, such as 14.28% corresponding to 1.5 M. Biolog phenotype MicroArray (PM) was adopted to investigate the strain phenotype, with reference to carbon energy utilization and osmotic tolerance. The strain was able to metabolize only 8.4% of 190 carbon sources provided in the PM1 and PM2 plates, mainly carbohydrates, in accordance with the low availability of nutrients in its habitat of origin. By using in silico DNA-DNA hybridization the analysis of strain 21D genome, assembled in one circular contig, revealed that the strain belongs to the species Virgibacillus dokdonensis. The genome presented compatible solute-based osmoadaptation traits, including genes encoding for osmotically activated glycine-betaine/carnitine/choline ABC transporters, as well as ectoine synthase enzymes. Osmoadaptation of the strain was then confirmed with phenotypic assays by using the osmolyte PM9 Biolog plate and growth experiments. Furthermore, the neutral isoelectric point of the reconstructed proteome suggested that the strain osmoadaptation was mainly mediated by compatible solutes. The presence of genes involved in iron acquisition and metabolism indicated that osmoadaptation was tailored to the iron-depleted saline waters of the Discovery SBI. Overall, both phenomics and genomics highlighted the potential capability of V. dokdonensis 21D vegetative cells to adapt to the environmental conditions in Discovery SBI.

Project description:Products and starting materials containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can easily be found in a variety of businesses, making them a common source of occupational exposure. To prevent negative impacts on employee health, field industrial hygienists must conduct regular sampling to ensure exposures remain below the regulatory limits set by governmental and professional associations. As such, the need for sensitive and reliable exposure assessment techniques becomes evident. Over the preceding decade, the industrial hygiene research group at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has been working on the development of an emerging, preanalytical technique known as photothermal desorption (PTD) to improve upon the analytical sensitivity of currently employed methods. PTD's novel design uses pulses of high-energy light to desorb analytes from thermally conductive, carbonaceous sorbents, to be delivered to downstream analytical detectors. Since PTD's conception, the theoretical framework and advances in sorbent fabrication have been investigated; however, further work is needed to produce a field-ready sampling device for use with PTD. As such, objectives of the present work were to design a PTD-compatible diffusive sampler prototype and characterize the prototype's sampling efficiencies for toluene, n-hexane, trichloroethylene, and isopropyl alcohol. In pursuit of these objectives, the study empirically quantified the sampled masses of toluene, n-hexane, trichloroethylene, and isopropyl alcohol, at occupationally relevant air concentrations, to be 12.17 ± 0.06, 8.2 ± 0.1, 3.97 ± 0.06, and 8.0 ± 0.1 mg, respectively. Moreover, the analyte sampling efficiencies were found to be 2.2 ± 0.1, 1.7 ± 0.1, 1.2 ± 0.1, and 0.51 ± 0.05 (unitless) when comparing empirically (i.e., laboratory observed) sample mass values to theoretically predicted values. The sampling efficiencies and collected sample masses reported herein demonstrate the promising design of PTD-compatible diffusive samplers. When used in conjunction with the PTD method, the prototype samplers present strong evidence for improving analytical sensitivity in exposure assessments of VOCs in the workplace.

Project description:To obtain biocontrol agents for suppression of food-deteriorating fungi during storage of agricultural products, bacteria producing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with strong antifungal activity were screened and isolated from various environmental samples. Among 136 bacterial isolates, strain TM-R showed the strongest and broadest antifungal activity. Based on physiological and genetical characterization, the bacterium was identified as Bacillus pumilus. The effects of VOCs produced by the bacterium, which was grown on four types of agar media (nutrient, Trypto-Soya, Luria-Bertani, and TM Enterprise), were examined against six species of fungi (Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysporum, and Penicillium italicum) in both small- and large-scale tests (plate and 12-L tests, respectively). In the plate test, the bacterium markedly suppressed the mycelial growth of five fungi (Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Curvularia lunata, F. oxysporum, and P. italicum) but promoted the growth of Aspergillus niger. In the 12-L test, the degree of growth inhibitiondecreased; however, the bacterium grown on TMEA still exhibited the strongest inhibition, especially against P. italicum (growth inhibition rate of 93%). Surprisingly, the growth of Aspergillus niger was promoted even more strongly (-36%) by the bacterium on TMEA than in the plate test (-9%). Twenty-two of 32 VOCs detected by GC-MS were identified using three databases (NIST 2011, AromaOffice, and AroChemBase). The species and concentration of detected VOCs differed greatly among growth media. To identify causative antifungal VOCs, we estimated the correlation between growth inhibition of P. italicum by the bacterium grown on each of the four media vs. the relative abundance of individual VOCs. As a result, four VOCs (methyl isobutyl ketone, ethanol, 5-methyl-2-heptanone, and S-(-)-2-methylbutylamine) were determined to be the predominant antifungal VOCs. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to specify causative antifungal VOCs using such an approach.
