Genomic Insights of Pectobacterium carotovorum Strain M022 Quorum-Sensing Activity through Whole-Genome Sequencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pectobacterium carotovorum is known to cause serious damage to various major crops worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome of Pectobacterium carotovorum strain M022, a freshwater isolate from a Malaysian waterfall, which has been reported as a plant pathogen and is able to communicate with N-acylhomoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing.

Quorum Sensing and Expression of Virulence in Pectobacteria
Quorum sensing (QS) is a population density-dependent regulatory mechanism in which gene expression is coupled to the accumulation of a chemical signaling molecule. QS systems are widespread among the plant soft-rotting bacteria. In Pectobacterium carotovorum, at least two QS systems exist being specified by the nature of chemical signals involved. QS in Pectobacterium carotovorum uses N-acylho...
متن کاملAiiM, a novel class of N-acylhomoserine lactonase from the leaf-associated bacterium Microbacterium testaceum.
N-Acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) are used as quorum-sensing signal molecules by many Gram-negative bacteria. We have reported that Microbacterium testaceum StLB037, which was isolated from the leaf surface of potato, has AHL-degrading activity. In this study, we cloned the aiiM gene from the genomic library of StLB037, which has AHL-degrading activity and shows high homology with the alpha/beta...
متن کاملArabidopsis thaliana cells: a model to evaluate the virulence of Pectobacterium carotovorum.
Pectobacterium carotovorum are economically important plant pathogens that cause plant soft rot. These enterobacteria display high diversity world-wide. Their pathogenesis depends on production and secretion of virulence factors such as plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, type III effectors, a necrosis-inducing protein, and a secreted virulence factor from Xanthomonas spp., which are tightly reg...
متن کاملInterference of Quorum Sensing by Delftia sp. VM4 Depends on the Activity of a Novel N-Acylhomoserine Lactone-Acylase
BACKGROUND Turf soil bacterial isolate Delftia sp. VM4 can degrade exogenous N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL), hence it effectively attenuates the virulence of bacterial soft rot pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum strain BR1 (Pcc BR1) as a consequence of quorum sensing inhibition. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Isolated Delftia sp. VM4 can grow in minimal medium supplemente...
متن کاملGenome sequence of the model plant pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum SCC1
Bacteria of the genus Pectobacterium are economically important plant pathogens that cause soft rot disease on a wide variety of plant species. Here, we report the genome sequence of Pectobacterium carotovorum strain SCC1, a Finnish soft rot model strain isolated from a diseased potato tuber in the early 1980's. The genome of strain SCC1 consists of one circular chromosome of 4,974,798 bp and o...
