Mycosynthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles Using Trichoderma spp. Isolated from Rhizosphere Soils and Its Synergistic Antibacterial Effect against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

ABSTRACT: The Plant Growth Promoting Fungi (PGPF) is used as a source of biofertilizers due to their production of secondary metabolites and beneficial effects on plants. The present work is focused on the co-cultivation of Trichoderma spp. (T. harzianum (PGT4), T. reesei (PGT5) and T. reesei (PGT13)) and the production of secondary metabolites from mono and co-culture and mycosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), which were characterized by a UV visible spectrophotometer, Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDAX) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Selected Area (Electron) Diffraction (SAED) patterns. The fungal secondary metabolite crude was extracted from the mono and co-culture of Trichoderma spp. And were analyzed by GC-MS, which was further subjected for antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae, the causative organism for Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) in rice. Our results showed that the maximum zone of inhibition was recorded from the co-culture of Trichoderma spp. rather than mono cultures, which indicates that co-cultivation of beneficial fungi can stimulate the synthesis of novel secondary metabolites better than in monocultures. ZnO NPs were synthesized from fungal secondary metabolites of mono cultures of Trichoderma harzianum (PGT4), Trichoderma reesei (PGT5), Trichoderma reesei (PGT13) and co-culture (PGT4 + PGT5 + PGT13). These ZnO NPs were checked for antibacterial activity against Xoo, which was found to be of a dose-dependent manner. In summary, the biosynthesized ZnO NPs and secondary metabolites from co-culture of Trichoderma spp. are ecofriendly and can be used as an alternative for chemical fertilizers in agriculture.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae is a devastating pathogen of rice and has been extensively studied as a model pathogen of monocotyledons. Expressional studies in both the contenders have been undertaken in past to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the compatible and incompatible interactions in the pathosystem. Continuous update on database and gene annotations necessitates constant updating on the roles of the new entities as well as reinterpretation of regulations of the previous ones. Moreover the past endeavors have addressed the middle or late defense responses of the rice plant whereas in the present study an attempt has been made to investigate the early defense responses taking place immediately after inoculation. RESULTS: Microarray was used to study the transcriptional modulations in eighteen days old rice seedling leaves of both susceptible and resistant genotypes one hour after inoculation. In resistant plants as compared to susceptible ones 274 genes were found to be differentially expressed. Annotations could be assigned to 112 up- and 73 down-regulated transcripts and gene interaction maps were generated for 86 transcripts. Expressional data and interaction maps were used to develop a hypothetical scheme of the molecular events taking place during early defense response. Network analysis with the differential transcripts showed up-regulation of major clusters of cell signaling proteins and transcription factors while growth and basal metabolic components were largely found to be down-regulated. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides an understanding of the early defense signaling in rice cells. Components of the calcium and lipid signaling as well as MAPK cascade were modulated, by signals from surface receptors and cytosolic R-proteins, to arouse jasmonic acid and ethylene signaling and suppress auxin signaling through various transcription factors. Abscisic acid modulation was also evident through the expression regulation of transcription factors involved with its functions. Moreover adjustments in expression levels of components of primary as well as secondary metabolism, protein trafficking and turnout were apparent, highlighting the complexity of defense response.

Project description:BackgroundPathogenic Gram-negative bacteria interact with their eukaryotic hosts by deploying the type III translocon to inject effector proteins into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. The translocon compositions, the number and biochemical characteristics of type III translocators in animal-pathogenic bacteria have been well elucidated, but information is lacking for plant-pathogenic bacteria. With extensive studies on biological functions of the Hpa1 protein secreted by the type III secretion system in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), we show here that Hpa1 is a type III translocator based on measurements of two proteins categorized as transcription activator-like (TAL) effector.ResultsHpa1 was functionally associated with the TAL effector PthXo1 or AvrXa10 by genetic analysis of the wild-type Xoo strain and related mutants or recombinant strains. Inoculation experiments suggested that Hpa1 is required not only for the virulent role of PthXo1 in the susceptible rice variety Nipponbare, but also for the avirulent function of AvrXa10 on the resistant rice variety IRBB10. Hpa1 is unrelated to the secretion of PthXo1 and AvrXa10 out of bacterial cells. However, Hpa1 is critical for both TAL effectors to be translocated from bacterial cells into the cytosol of rice cells based on replicate experiments performed on the susceptible and resistant varieties, respectively. Hpa1-mediated translocation of PthXo1 is coincident with induced expression of rice SWEET11 gene, which is the regulatory target of PthXo1, resulting in the occurrence of the bacterial blight disease in the susceptible rice variety. By contrast, the immune hypersensitive response is induced in agreement with induced expression of rice Xa10 gene, which is the target of AvrXa10, only when AvrXa10 is translocated from bacteria into cells of the resistant rice variety. All the virulent or avirulent performances of the TAL effectors are nullified by directed mutation that removes the α-helix motif from the Hpa1 sequence.ConclusionsThe genetic and biochemical data demonstrate that Hap1 is a type III translocator at least for TAL effectors PthXo1 and AvrXa10. The effect of the directed mutation suggests that Hpa1 depends on its α-helical motif to fulfil the translocator function.
