3 %), Micromonospora sediminicola DSM 45794T (99.3 %), Micromonospora aurantiaca DSM 43813T (99.2 %) and Micromonospora chaiyaphumensis DSM 45246T (99.2 %). The results of OrthoANIu analysis showed the highest similarity to Micromonospora chalcea DSM 43026T (96.4 %). However, the 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequence-based phylogeny and phenotypic characteristics provided support to distinguish strain A38T as a novel species. On the basis of the results presented here, we propose to classify strain A38T (=LMG 30467T=CECT 30034T) as the type strain of the novel species Micromonospora fluminis sp. nov.Two novel actinobacteria, designated strains GY16T and T44T, were isolated from the leaves and rhizosphere soil of Broussonetia papyrifera, respectively. A polyphasic approach was used for determining their taxonomic position. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain GY16T exhibited highest similarities to Streptomyces cinereoruber subsp. fructofermentans CGMCC 4.1593T (98.82 %), Streptomyces deccanensis KCTC 19241T (98.76 %), Streptomyces scabiei NRRL B-16523T (98.69 %), Streptomyces europaeiscabiei KACC 20186T (98.69 %) and Streptomyces rishiriensis NBRC 13407T (98.69 %), and strain T44T showed 99.2, 99.1, 99.1 and less then 98.7 % sequence similarities to Streptomyces filipinensis CGMCC 4.1452T, Streptomyces achromogenes subsp. achromogenes DSM 40028T, Streptomyces durhamensis DSM 40539T and other Streptomyces species, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain GY16T formed an independent subclade, which indicated that strain GY16T should belong to a potential novel species; and strain T44T was closely related to S. filipinensis CGMCC 4.1452T, S. achromogenes subsp. achromogenes DSM 40028T, S. durhamensis DSM 40539T and S. yokosukanensis DSM 40224T. However, the multilocus sequence analysis evolutionary distance, average nucleotide identity and DNA-DNA hybridization values between closely related relatives were far from the species-level thresholds. In addition, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics further confirmed that strains GY16T and T44T belonged to two distinct species. Based on these results, it is concluded that the isolated strains represent novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the names Streptomyces phaeolivaceus sp. nov. (type strain GY16T=CICC 24807T=KCTC 49326T) and Streptomyces broussonetiae sp. nov. (type strain T44T=CICC 24819T=JCM 33918T) are proposed.A Gram-stain-positive, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from the small intestine of a mini pig was designated as strain YH-lac9T. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strain belongs to the genus Lentilactobacillus and is closely related to Lentilactobacillus senioris JCM 17472T, Lentilactobacillus rapi JCM 15042T and Lentilactobacillus diolivorans JCM 13927T, with 97.6, 96.2 and 95.7 % sequence similarity, respectively. Analysis of housekeeping gene sequences (pheS and recA) revealed that the strain formed a sub-cluster with L. senioris, supporting the results of 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis. The average nucleotide identity value for YH-lac9T and the most closely related strain is 74.1 %. The main fatty acids are C18  1ω9c, summed feature 7, C16  0 and summed feature 8. selleck inhibitor The G+C content of the genomic DNA is 37.8 mol%. In view of its chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, YH-lac9T (=KCTC 25005=JCM 33997) represents a novel taxon. The name Lentilactobacillus kribbianus sp. nov. is proposed.Gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a devastating disease that causes significant yield losses in various economically important plants. Fungicide application is one of the main strategies for management of gray mold; however, B. cinerea has developed resistance to various groups of fungicide. In China, benzimidazole-, dicarboximide-, and quinone outside inhibitor-resistant populations of B. cinerea have become dominant. Substitute mutations in fungicide target genes are responsible for resistance in B. cinerea. Based on known resistance mechanisms, molecular methods including loop-mediated isothermal amplification have been developed for rapid detection of resistant isolates of B. cinerea. Because B. cinerea is able to quickly develop resistance to various fungicides, various integrated strategies have been implemented in the last decade, including biological and agricultural practices, to manage fungicide resistance in B. cinerea.Forty-seven potato virus A (PVA) isolates from Europe, Australia, and South America's Andean region were subjected to high-throughput sequencing, and 46 complete genomes from Europe (n = 9), Australia (n = 2), and the Andes (n = 35) obtained. These and 17 other genomes gave alignments of 63 open reading frames 9,180 nucleotides long; 9 were recombinants. The nonrecombinants formed three tightly clustered, almost equidistant phylogroups; A comprised 14 Peruvian potato isolates; W comprised 37 from potato in Peru, Argentina, and elsewhere in the world; and T contained three from tamarillo in New Zealand. When five isolates were inoculated to a potato cultivar differential, three strain groups (= pathotypes) unrelated to phylogenetic groupings were recognized. No temporal signal was detected among the dated nonrecombinant sequences, but PVA and potato virus Y (PVY) are from related lineages and ecologically similar; therefore, "relative dating" was obtained using a single maximum-likelihood phylogeny of PVA and PVY sequences and PVY's well-supported 157 CE "time to most common recent ancestor". The PVA datings obtained were supported by several independent historical coincidences. The PVA and PVY populations apparently arose in the Andes approximately 18 centuries ago, and were taken to Europe during the Columbian Exchange, radiating there after the mid-19th century potato late blight pandemic. PVA's phylogroup A population diverged more recently in the Andean region, probably after new cultivars were bred locally using newly introduced Solanum tuberosum subsp. tuberosum as a parent. Such cultivars became widely grown, and apparently generated the A × W phylogroup recombinants. Phylogroup A, and its interphylogroup recombinants, might pose a biosecurity risk.[Formula see text] Copyright © 2021 The Author(s).

In a survey of 71 high tunnels, C. coccodes was detected in 90% of high tunnels, while P. lycopersici (46%), V. dahliae (48%) and Meloidogyne spp. (45%) were found in nearly half of high tunnels. Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) with wheat bran (20.2 Mg/ha) plus molasses (10.1 Mg/ha) and grafting onto 'Maxifort' or 'Estamino' rootstocks were evaluated in high tunnels on five farms. In post-ASD bioassays using trial soils, root and taproot rot severity were significantly reduced following ASD, and root-knot galling was also reduced by ASD. Soilborne pathogenic fungi were isolated less frequently from bioassay plants grown in ASD-treated soils than control soils. Similar results were observed in tomato plants grown in high tunnels. Root rot was significantly reduced by ASD in nearly all trials. Corky root rot severity was highest in non-grafted plants grown in non-treated soils, while the lowest levels of corky root rot were observed in Maxifort-grafted plants. Black dot root rot severity was higher or equivalent in grafted plants compared to non-grafted plants. Root-knot severity was lower in plants grown in ASD-treated soils in high tunnels compared to plants grown in control soils, but grafting did not significantly decrease root-knot severity. However, soil treatment did not significantly impact yield, and grafting led to inconsistent impacts on yield.Glutamicibacter sp.FBE-19 was isolated based on its strong antagonism to the cucurbit bacterial blight pathogen Erwinia tracheiphila on plates. Members of the Glutamicibacter genus can promote plant growth under saline conditions and antagonize fungi on plates via chitinolytic activity; however, their production of antibacterial compounds has not been examined. Here, we report the genome sequence of strain FBE-19. The genome is 3.85 Mbp with a G+C content of 60.1% and comprises 3,791 genes. Genes that may contribute to its antagonistic activity include genes for the secondary metabolites stenothricin, salinosporamide A, a second β-lactone compound, and a carotenoid. The Glutamicibacter sp. FBE-19 genome data may be a useful resource if this strain proves to be an effective biocontrol agent against E. tracheiphila.Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causal agent of citrus huanglongbing, colonizes inside the phloem and is naturally transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal CLas colonization in different tissues post ACP transmission. At 75 day-post-ACP-removal (DPR), CLas was detected in roots of all trees, but in the mature leaf of only one tree, of the nine plants that were successfully infected via ACP transmission, consistent with the model that CLas moves passively from the source to sink. CLas was detected in 11.1%, and 43.1% mature leaves, which were unfed by ACPs during transmission, at 75, and 365 DPR, respectively, unveiling active movement to the source tissue. The difference in colonization timing of sink and source tissues indicates CLas is capable of both passive and active movement with passive movement being dominant. At 225 DPR, leaves fed by ACPs during the young stage showed the highest ratio of HLB symptomatic leaves and highest CLas titer, followed by that of leaves emerged post ACP removal, and mature leaves not fed by ACPs. Importantly, our data showed that ACPs were unable to transmit CLas via feeding on mature leaves. It is estimated that it takes at most three years for CLas to infect the whole tree. Overall, the spatiotemporal detection of CLas in different tissues after ACP transmission helps visualize the infection process of CLas in planta and subsequent HLB symptom development, and provides the knowledge supporting that young leaves should be the focus of HLB management.Protein glycosylation is an essential process that plays an important role in proteome stability, protein structure, and protein function modulation in eukaryotes. However, in bacteria, especially plant pathogenic bacteria, similar studies are lacking. Here, we investigated the relationship between protein glycosylation and pathogenicity using Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight in rice, as a well-defined example. In our previous work, we identified a virulence-related hypothetical protein, PXO_03177, but how this protein regulates Xoo virulence has remained unclear. BLAST analysis showed that most homologous proteins of PXO_03177 are glycoside hydrolase family 99-like domain-containing proteins. In the current study, we found that the outer membrane integrity of ΔPXO_03177 appeared to be disrupted. Extracting the outer membrane proteins and performing comparative proteomics and SDS-PAGE gel staining analyses revealed that PXO_03177 deletion altered the protein levels of 13 outer membrane proteins.
