Project description:We report the application of RNA sequencing technology for transcriptome profiling of Trichoderma asperellum challenged with Organophosphorus Pesticide Dichlorvos. Based on RNA-seq analysis, in T. asperellum TJ01 treated with 100 μg/mL, 500 μg/mL, and 1000 μg/mL dichlorvos, 204, 490, and 872 genes were significantly upregulated, respectively, while 37, 177, and 383 genes were significantly downregulated, respectively. This study provides a framework for the application of transcriptome profiling towards characterization of trichoderma under stress of Organophosphorus Pesticide.
Project description:<p><em>Phytophthora nicotianae</em> is an oomycete pathogen of global significance threatening many important crops. It is mainly controlled by chemosynthetic fungicides, which endangers ecosystem and human health; thus, there is an urgent need to explore alternatives for these fungicides. In this study, a new anti-oomycete aliphatic compound was obtained through co-culture of <em>Bacillus subtilis</em> and <em>Trichoderma asperellum</em>. The action mode of this natural product on <em>P. nicotianae</em> was preliminarily explored by using transcriptome, metabolome and physiological index detection.</p>

Project description:S. meliloti 1021FDC5 was grown at 30ºC in 20 ml of TY broth with shaking to late logarithmic phase (optical density at 600 nm = 1-1.2). After incubation, cells were pelleted, washed twice in MM and resuspended in 2 ml of the latter medium. For time course experiments in liquid, 0.5 ml of the inoculation culture was added to 50 ml of fresh MM. At various times, samples were removed for determining viable cells counts as well as for RNA isolation/preparation (7 and 14 hours). For experiments on plates, 20 ml of MM containing 0.7% (Semisolid) or 1.3% (Solid) agar was dispensed onto each Petri dish and allowed to gel. The plates were air dried at room temperature for 15 min. 0.1 ml of the inoculation culture was plated onto the surface of the plates and allowed to dry for 10 min. The plates were then inverted and incubated at 30ºC.
Project description:Plant-beneficial fungi from the genus Trichoderma (Hypocreales, Ascomycota) can control oomyceteous plant-pathogenic Pythium myriotylum (Peronosporales, Oomycota) and thus serve as bioeffectors for the eco-friendly products of crop protection. However, the underlying mechanisms of microbe-microbe interactions have yet to be fully understood. In this study, we focused on the role of the Trichoderma secretome induced by P. myriotylum mycelia. For this purpose, we selected strains showing strong (T. asperellum, T. atroviride, T. virens), moderate (T. cf. guizhouense, T. reesei), and weak (T. parepimyces) activities, respectively, and cultured with the sterilized P. myriotylum mycelia. Secreted proteins were analyzed using label-free LC-MS/MS, bioinformatic localization prediction, gene ontology (GO) annotation, and ortholog analysis. The exoproteomic analysis quantified proteins in the six Trichoderma spp., suggesting unequal antagonistic mechanisms among the strong and weak strains, respectively, with different proportions of putative cellulases, proteases, redox enzymes, and extracellular proteins of unknown function. Notably, proteolysis-related proteins were abundant, while the abundant proteases tended not to be conserved across the species (i.e., non-orthologous). Putative cellobiohydrolases were detected abundantly in all Trichoderma species except for the weak antagonist T. parepimyces, even though its genome encodes for these proteins. Notably, secretomes of the most potent anti-Pythium bioeffectors tended to have higher endo-cellulase activity. Cellulose and other glucans are major components of the oomycete cell wall, which was partly reflected in the cellulases produced by the Trichoderma species. The varying abundances of orthologous proteins suggested the evolution of differing transcription regulation mechanisms across the Trichoderma genus in response to the ubiquitous presence of Oomycota.
