Medicinal plants, renowned for their therapeutic properties, host endophytic bacteria that produce bioactive compounds. Understanding antibiotic resistance dynamics in these bacteria is vital for human health and antibiotic efficacy preservation. In this study, we investigated antibiotic resistance profiles in endophytic bacteria from five medicinal plants: Thankuni, Neem, Aparajita, Joba, and Snake plant. We isolated and characterized 113 endophytic bacteria, with varying resistance patterns observed against multiple antibiotics. Notably, 53 strains were multidrug-resistant (MDR), with 14 exhibiting extensive drug resistance (XDR). Thankuni-associated bacteria displayed 44% MDR and 11% XDR, while Neem-associated bacteria showed higher resistance (60% MDR, 13% XDR). Aparajita-associated bacteria had lower resistance (22% MDR, 6% XDR), whereas Joba-associated bacteria exhibited substantial resistance (54% MDR, 14% XDR). Snake plant-associated bacteria showed 7% MDR and 4% XDR. Genus-specific distribution revealed Bacillus (47%), Staphylococcus (21%), and Klebsiella (11%) as major contributors to MDR. Our findings highlight diverse drug resistance patterns among plant-associated bacteria and underscore the complexity of antibiotic resistance dynamics in diverse plant environments. Identification of XDR strains emphasizes the severity of the antibiotic resistance problem, warranting further investigation into contributing factors.展开更多

Results showed that three strains were re-introduced into S. alfredii rhizosphere soils under Zn stress and resulted in better plant growth, as roots biomass increased from 80% to 525% and shoot biomass from 11% to 47% compared with the uninoculated ones. Strains IVsLz, II8L4 and IVsR2 significantly increased shoot and root Zn concentrations in the ZnCO3 contaminated soil. Inoculation with strain IVsL2 resulted in 44% and 39% higher shoot and root Zn concentrations, while strain IV8R2 significantly decreased shoot Zn concentration in the Zn3（PO4）2 contaminated soils. In the aged contaminated soil, isolates IVsL2, IIsL4 and IVsR2 significantly increased root Zn concentration, but decreased shoot Zn concentration of Sedum alfredii. It suggested that endophytes might be used for enhancing phytoextraction efficiency.展开更多

Their structures were identified as harzianone （1）, trichoacorenol （2）, and trichodimerol （3） by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Among them, 1 was a harziane diterpene, 2 was a sesquiterpene alcohol, and 3 was a polyketide with a completely symmetric configuration. Compound 3 exhibited medium inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 74.6 μM using a NA （H7N9）/MUNANA model.展开更多

[Method] Chinese cabbages were used as experimental materials and irrigated with control water, 50% reclaimed water and 100% reclaimed water, and then the number of endophytic bacteria in Chinese cab- bages was measured. [Result] Using 50% reclaimed water, the fresh weight of Chi- nese cabbage was improved by 68.94%; however, with the deepening internalization of exogenous microorganism internalization, the total number of endophytic bacteria and coliform flock in Chinese cabbages treated with 50% reclaimed water was sig- nificantly higher than the other two treatment groups （P〈0.05）. [Conclusion] Re- claimed water enhances both the weight of Chinese cabbage and the number of endophytic bacteria, which is unsuitable for irrigation of edible crops such as Chi- nese cabbage. Strengthening disinfection during the process of sewerage treatment could solve this problem.展开更多

Endophytic fungi was isolated from stems and leaves, and purified by 2-3 times of inoculation to screen endophytic fungi antagonistic to Marssonina rosae with modified punching method. [Result] Samples collected from Xianyang exhibited the highest colonization rate and isolation rate; endophytic fungi strains isolated from stems presented the highest colonization rate and isolation rate compared with leaves. A total of 67 en- dophytic fungi strains were isolated from Rosa chinensis, including 3 black spot-re- sistant strains which were all derived from Baoji. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for further screening candidate strains of biocontrol fungi and environ- ment-friendly fungal biological control.展开更多

文摘In this study,two wheat-derived cadmium(Cd)-immobilizing endophytic Pseudomonas paralactis M14 and Priestia megaterium R27 were evaluated for their effects on wheat tissue Cd uptake under hydroponic conditions.Then,the impacts of the biochar(BC),M14+R27(MR),and BC+MR treatments on wheat Cd uptake and the mechanisms involved were investigated at the jointing,heading,and mature stages of wheat plants under field-plot conditions.A hydroponic experiment showed that the MR treatment significantly decreased the above-ground tissue Cd content compared with theM14 or R27 treatment.The BC+MRtreatment reduced the grain Cd content by 51.5%-67.7%and Cd translocation factor at the mature stage of wheat plants and increased the organic matter-bound Cd content by 31%-75%in the rhizosphere soils compared with the BC or MR treatment.Compared with the BC or MR treatment,the relative abundances of the biomarkers associated with Gemmatimonas,Altererythrobacter,Gammaproteobacteria,Xanthomonadaceae,Phenylobacterium,and Nocardioides in the BC+MR-treated rhizosphere microbiome decreased and negatively correlated with the organic matter-bound Cd contents.In the BC+MR-treated root interior microbiome,the relative abundance of the biomarker belonging to Exiguobacterium increased and negatively correlated with the Cd translocation factor,while the relative abundance of the biomarker belonging to Pseudonocardiaceae decreased and positively correlated with the Cd translocation factor.Our findings suggested that the BC+MR treatment reduced Cd availability and Cd transfer through affecting the abundances of these specific biomarkers in the rhizosphere soil and root interior microbiomes,leading to decreased wheat grain Cd uptake in the contaminated soil.

文摘Oryza longistaminata is an African wild rice species with valuable agronomic traits and the donor parent of perennial rice.Endophytic bacteria play an important role in host health,adaptive evolution and stress tolerance.However,endophytic bacterial communities in O.longistaminata and their plant growth-promoting(PGP)effects on the perennial rice of O.longistaminata offspring are poorly understood.In this study,the endophytic bacterial diversity,composition and network structures in the root,stem,and leaf tissues of O.longistaminata were characterized using Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene.The results suggested that O.longistaminata contains a multitude of niches for different endophytic bacteria,among which the root endosphere is more complex and functionally diverse than the stem and leaf endospheres.Tissue-specific biomarkers were identified,including Paludibaculum,Pseudactinotalea and Roseimarinus and others,for roots,Blautia for stems and Lachnospiraceae NK4A136 for leaves.The endophytic bacterial network of O.longistaminata was reassembled for various functions,including degradation/utilization/assimilation,detoxification,generation of precursor metabolites and energy,glycan pathways,macromolecule modification and metabolism.A total of 163 endophytic bacterial strains with PGP traits of potassium release,phosphate solubilization,nitrogen fixation,siderophore activity,indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)production,and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate(ACC)deaminase activity were isolated from O.longistaminata.Eleven strains identified as Enterobacter cloacae,Enterobacter ludwigii,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Serratia fonticola,and Bacillus velezensis showed stable colonization abilities and PGP effects on perennial rice seedlings.Inoculated plants generally exhibited an enhanced root system and greater photosynthesis,biomass accumulation and nutrient uptake.Interestingly,two strains of E.cloacae have host genotype-dependent effects on perennial rice growth.The results of this study provide insights into the endophytic bacterial ecosystems of O.longistaminata,which can potentially be used as biofertilizers for sustainable perennial rice productivity.

文摘[Objectives]This study was conducted to explore the culture conditions for siderophore production and preliminarily investigate the growth-promoting effects of strains.[Methods]Endophytic bacteria secreting siderophores were isolated and screened from the roots of the plant Saposhnikovia divaricata(Trucz.)Schischk.The siderophore-producing capability was confirmed through qualitative detection and gene cluster analysis.[Results]The screened endophytic bacterium PB-2 belonged to the genus Paenibacillus sp.and could produce catechol-type or carboxylate-type siderophores.When cultured in MKB medium with 15 g/L glycerol as the carbon source and 6 g/L glycine as the nitrogen source for 3 d,the strain exhibited efficient siderophore secretion.Appropriate concentrations of Fe^(3+),Co^(2+),Cu^(2+)and Al^(3+)promoted siderophore production,with 15μmol/L Fe^(3+)being the most effective.Under the combined influences of siderophores,volatile compounds and other factors,strain PB-2 altered the root morphology of mulberry seedlings and increased their biomass.The primary root length decreased by 9.15%,while the number and length of root hairs increased by 37.93%and 16.37%,respectively,and the total biomass increased by 10.26%,all showing significant differences(P<0.05).Additionally,strain PB-2 enhanced the activities of defense-related enzymes in mulberry seedling leaves.The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and peroxidase(POD)increased significantly(P<0.05)by 247.27%and 189.47%,respectively,compared with the control group.The activities of phenylalanine ammonialyase(PAL)and polyphenol oxidase(PPO)also showed varying degrees of increase.[Conclusions]This study provided a theoretical basis for rational utilization of endophytic growth-promoting strains secreting siderophores in the sustainable development of agriculture.

文摘Phthalic acid esters(PAEs)are widely released into the environment due to industrial and agricultural activities.This poses significant risks,not only to crops grown on contaminated soil but also to humans.PAEs enter the human body through the food chain,causing potential health hazards.Endophytic bacteria have demonstrated a significant potential as effective bioremediation agents,with specialized mechanisms of PAEs degradation.Endophytic bacteria such as Rhodococcus,Pseudomonas and Sphingomona recognize root exudates,adhere to and penetrate root surfaces,and ultimately colonize crops.They form symbiotic relationships with crops,obtaining nutrients and habitats from crops,meanwhile,promoting plant growth and health through hormone production,nutrient regulation,and the suppression of pathogenic microorganisms.Furthermore,endophytic bacteria efficiently degrade PAEs in soil-crop systems through synergistic interactions with indigenous rhizosphere microflora and regulatory effects on enzyme activity in crops.Here,we review the role of endophytic bacteria in the bioremediation of PAEs-contaminated crops and soils.In addition,we discuss the scarcity of endophytic bacterial strains with a confirmed ability to degrade PAEs,and underscore the lack of the research on the mechanisms of PAEs degradation by these bacteria.This review also points out that future study should investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between endophytic bacteria and PAEs to offer novel insights and solutions for environmental protection and sustainable agricultural development.

文摘(±)-Mycosphatide A(1a/1b),a pair of highly oxidized enantiomeric polyketides featuring a unique5/5/6/5-fused tetracyclic ring system,were isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Mycosphaerella sp.SYSU-DZG01.Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analyses,single crystal Xray diffraction,and experimental electronic circular dichroism(ECD)spectra comparison.The plausible biosynthetic pathway of 1 was proposed,which involved the generation of a key spiro[4.5]decane scaffold.Compounds(+)-1a and(-)-1b exhibited significant lipid-lowering activity in 3T3-L1 adipocytes model,with EC50values of 7.85±1.56 and 8.87±0.80μmol/L,respectively.
文摘Antibiotic resistance poses a significant global health threat, necessitating a thorough understanding of its prevalence in various ecological contexts. Medicinal plants, renowned for their therapeutic properties, host endophytic bacteria that produce bioactive compounds. Understanding antibiotic resistance dynamics in these bacteria is vital for human health and antibiotic efficacy preservation. In this study, we investigated antibiotic resistance profiles in endophytic bacteria from five medicinal plants: Thankuni, Neem, Aparajita, Joba, and Snake plant. We isolated and characterized 113 endophytic bacteria, with varying resistance patterns observed against multiple antibiotics. Notably, 53 strains were multidrug-resistant (MDR), with 14 exhibiting extensive drug resistance (XDR). Thankuni-associated bacteria displayed 44% MDR and 11% XDR, while Neem-associated bacteria showed higher resistance (60% MDR, 13% XDR). Aparajita-associated bacteria had lower resistance (22% MDR, 6% XDR), whereas Joba-associated bacteria exhibited substantial resistance (54% MDR, 14% XDR). Snake plant-associated bacteria showed 7% MDR and 4% XDR. Genus-specific distribution revealed Bacillus (47%), Staphylococcus (21%), and Klebsiella (11%) as major contributors to MDR. Our findings highlight diverse drug resistance patterns among plant-associated bacteria and underscore the complexity of antibiotic resistance dynamics in diverse plant environments. Identification of XDR strains emphasizes the severity of the antibiotic resistance problem, warranting further investigation into contributing factors.

文摘Background:Completely endophytic renal tumors(CERT)pose significant challenges due to their anatomical complexity and loss of visual clues about tumor location.A facile scoring model based on three-dimensional(3D)reconstructed images will assist in better assessing tumor location and vascular variations.Methods:In this retrospective study,80 patients diagnosed with CERT were included.Forty cases underwent preoperative assessment using 3D reconstructed imaging(3D-Cohort),while the remaining 40 cases were assessed using two-dimensional imaging(2D-Cohort).Vascular variations were evaluated by ascertaining the presence of renal arteries>1,prehilar branching arteries,and arteries anterior to veins.The proposed scoring system,termed RAL,encompassed three critical components:(R)adius(maximal tumor diameter in cm),(A)rtery(occurrence of arterial variations),and(L)ocation relative to the polar line.Comparison of the RAL scoring system was made with established nephrometry scoring systems.Results:A total of 48(60%)patients exhibited at least one vascular variation.In the 2D-Cohort,patients with vascular variations experienced significantly prolonged operation time,increased bleeding volume,and extended warm ischemia time compared with those without vascular variations.Conversely,the presence of vascular vari-ations did not significantly affect operative parameters in the 3D-Cohort.Furthermore,the 2D-Cohort demon-strated a notable decline in both short-and long-term estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)changes com-pared with the 3D-Cohort,a trend consistent across patients with warm ischemia time≥25 min and those with vascular variations.Notably,the 2D-Cohort exhibited a larger margin of normal renal tissue compared with the 3D-Cohort.Elevated RAL scores correlated with larger tumor size,prolonged operation time,extended warm is-chemia time,and substantial postoperative eGFR decrease.The RAL scoring system displayed superior predictive capabilities in assessing postoperative eGFR changes compared with conventional nephrometry scoring systems.Conclusions:Our proposed 3D vascular variation-based nephrometry scoring system offers heightened proficiency in preoperative assessment,precise prediction of surgical complexity,and more accurate evaluation of postoper-ative renal function in CERT patients.

文摘Three bacterial endophytes of Sedum alfredii, VI8L2, II8L4 and VI8R2, were examined for promoting soil Zn bioavailability and Zn accumulation in S. alfredii. Results showed that three strains were re-introduced into S. alfredii rhizosphere soils under Zn stress and resulted in better plant growth, as roots biomass increased from 80% to 525% and shoot biomass from 11% to 47% compared with the uninoculated ones. Strains IVsLz, II8L4 and IVsR2 significantly increased shoot and root Zn concentrations in the ZnCO3 contaminated soil. Inoculation with strain IVsL2 resulted in 44% and 39% higher shoot and root Zn concentrations, while strain IV8R2 significantly decreased shoot Zn concentration in the Zn3（PO4）2 contaminated soils. In the aged contaminated soil, isolates IVsL2, IIsL4 and IVsR2 significantly increased root Zn concentration, but decreased shoot Zn concentration of Sedum alfredii. It suggested that endophytes might be used for enhancing phytoextraction efficiency.

文摘Beneficial microbes can improve soil health by promoting soil structure,nutrient cycling,and disease suppression.In addition,a wide array of rhizospheric microbes are responsible for producing metabolically active compounds including various types of plant growth regulators.So,microbial biodiversity studies could contribute to the improvement of agricultural practices in deprived areas,such as the Pampean semiarid region.The vast majority of studies conducted on endophytic microorganisms have focused on intensive crop legume species.In contrast,little attention has been paid to microorganisms of native legumes,whose ecology is not directly affected by human action.In this study,endophytic microorganisms isolated from root nodules of a selected native legume of the genus Rhynchosia were characterized.Viable isolates were studied with a focus on their plant growth-pro-moting rhizobacteria(PGPR)properties.Considering the edaphic characteristics of the Pampean semiarid region,the isolates obtained were evaluated for their ability to grow under three salt stress conditions(50,100,and 200 mM NaCl)and four different pH values(6,7,8,and 9).Based on their PGPR activities,the selected strains were phylogenetically grouped using BOX-PCR.The results showed great variability among the isolates in terms of the characteristics studied.Native legumes manifested a wide endophytic variability and remarkable perfor-mance in PGPR activities.We conclude that they could be used as potential bioinoculants for legume cultivation,an excellent alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers that currently pollute the environment.

文摘The endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp.SPH2 was isolated from the stems of the endemic plant Bethencourtia palmensis and its extracts were found to have strong fungicidal effects against Botrytis cinerea and ixodicidal effects against Hya-lomma lusitanicum at different fermentation times.In this study,the fungus was grown using three different culture media and two methodologies,Microparticulate Enhancement Cultivation(MPEC)and Semi-Solid-State Fermentation(Semi-SSF),to increase the production of secondary metabolites during submerged fermentation.The addition of an inert support to the culture medium(Semi-SSF)resulted in a significant increase in the extract production.However,when talcum powder was added to different culture media,unexpected results were observed,with a decrease in the production of the biocompounds of interest.Metabolomic analyses showed that the production of aspergillic,neoaspergillic,and neohydroxyaspergillic acids peaked in the first few days of fermentation,with notable differences observed among the methodologies and culture media.Mellein production was particularly affected by the addition of an inert support to the culture medium.These results highlight the importance of surface properties and morphology of spores and mycelia during fermentation by this fungal species.

文摘Fungal endophytes,as an untapped resource of glycoside hydrolase biocatalysts,need to be further developed.Mogroside V,the primary active compound in Siraitia grosvenorii fruit,can be converted into other various bioactive mogrosides by selective hydrolysis of glucose residues at C3 and C24 positions.In present study,20 fungal strains were randomly selected from our endophytic fungal strain library to assess their capability for mogroside V transformation.The results revealed that relatively high rate(30%)endophytic fungal strains exhibited transformative potential.Further analysis indicated that endophytic fungi could produce abundant mogrosides,and the pathways for biotransforming mogroside V showed diverse.Among the given fungal endophytes,Aspergillus sp.S125 almost completely converted mogroside V into the end-products mogroside II A and aglycone within just 2 days of fermentation;Muyocopron sp.A5 produced rich intermediate products,including siamenoside I,and the end-product mogroside II E.Subsequently,we optimized the fermentation conditions for Aspergillus sp.S125 and Muyocopron sp.A5 to evaluate the feasibility of large-scale mogroside V conversion.After optimization,Aspergillus sp.S125 converted 10 g/L of mogroside V into 4.5 g/L of mogroside II A and 3.6 g/L of aglycone after 3 days of fermentation,whereas Muyocopron sp.A5 selectively produced 4.88 g/L of siamenoside I from 7.5 g/L of mogroside V after 36 h of fermentation.This study not only identifies highly effective biocatalytic candidates for mogrosides transformation,but also strongly suggests the potential of plant endophytic fungi as valuable resources for the biocatalysis of natural compounds.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of agricultural irri- gation with reclaimed water in Urumqi City. [Method] Chinese cabbages were used as experimental materials and irrigated with control water, 50% reclaimed water and 100% reclaimed water, and then the number of endophytic bacteria in Chinese cab- bages was measured. [Result] Using 50% reclaimed water, the fresh weight of Chi- nese cabbage was improved by 68.94%; however, with the deepening internalization of exogenous microorganism internalization, the total number of endophytic bacteria and coliform flock in Chinese cabbages treated with 50% reclaimed water was sig- nificantly higher than the other two treatment groups （P〈0.05）. [Conclusion] Re- claimed water enhances both the weight of Chinese cabbage and the number of endophytic bacteria, which is unsuitable for irrigation of edible crops such as Chi- nese cabbage. Strengthening disinfection during the process of sewerage treatment could solve this problem.
