The methylation profile of Pectobacterium carotovorum 2A genome was studied using the Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. specificity methylase subunits three restriction-modification systems this strain determined. Analysis homologous showed uniqueness type I system and IV restriction specific to methylated DNA strain. work confirms applicability technology analysis bacterial modifications ...

The main goal of our study was to determine whether biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (SNPs) could be used as a novel antibacterial material in order control soft rot vegetables. Exudates from oak fruit were the green synthesis SNPs. Postharvest disease vegetables has resulted significant crop losses all over globe. Because managing Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. (Pcc), causal agent diseas...

Gliding arc (glidarc) discharge is a physicochemical technique for decontamination at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. It leads to the destruction of bacterial phytopathogens responsible for important losses in industrial agriculture, namely, Erwinia spp., without the formation of resistant forms. We investigated the effect of a novel optimized prototype allowing bacterial killing ...

Microbial expansins act on plant cell walls similarly to plant expansins, albeit their loosening activity levels are tenfold lesser compared to plant expansins. We report the characterization of an expansin-like gene from the plant pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum, named exl1. PcExl1 is an acidic protein that binds cellulose (Avicel), and weakens filter paper. The acidic nature of PcExl1 con...

Animal manures are routinely applied to agricultural lands to improve crop yield, but the possibility to spread bacterial phytopathogens through field fertilization has not been considered yet. We monitored 49 cattle, horse, swine, sheep or chicken manure samples collected in 14 Polish voivodeships for the most important plant pathogenic bacteria - Ralstonia solanacearum (Rsol), Xanthomonas cam...

Soft rot disease is economically one of the most devastating bacterial diseases affecting plants worldwide. In this study, we present novel insights into the phylogeny and virulence of the soft rot model Pectobacterium sp. SCC3193, which was isolated from a diseased potato stem in Finland in the early 1980s. Genomic approaches, including proteome and genome comparisons of all sequenced soft rot...
