Abstract Endophytes were investigated for their potential to protect Cinnamomum cassia (cinnamon) from Phytophthora root rot. From healthy cinnamon trees in diseased plantations, 134 bacterial and fungal endophytes isolated screened vitro ability antagonise the rot pathogens cinnamomi , P. multibullata × vanyenensis . Seventeen exhibiting high levels of antagonism (more than 45%) then tested a ...

Burkholderia glumae causes rice grain rot and sheath rot by producing toxoflavin, the expression of which is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). The QS systems of B. glumae rely on N-octanoyl homoserine lactone, synthesized by TofI and its cognate receptor TofR, to activate the genes for toxoflavin biosynthesis and an IclR-type transcriptional regulator gene, qsmR. To understand genome-wide trans...

Ovine foot rot is an infection of the feet of sheep, mainly caused by Dichelobacter nodosus. In its virulent form, it is highly contagious and debilitating, causing significant losses in the form of decline in wool growth and quality and poor fertility. Current methods of treatment are ineffective in complete eradication. Effective antibiotic treatment of foot rot is hence necessary to ensure b...

12,4-Dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-onel DIMBOA was extracted with ethyl acetate from acidified water homogenates of corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings. Pure DIMBOA or ethyl acetate extracts of corn tissue were added to bacterial growth medium at five concentrations (measured as hydroxamates). DIMBOA and corn extracts were more inhibitory to soft rot bacteria (Erwinia spp.) that are nonp...

Ten isolates of Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora (Ecc) were isolated from infected potato tubers of Picasso, Sante, and Nevskiy varieties collected from different regions in Kyrgyzstan. Isolates were identified as Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora (Ecc) by standard bacteriological techniques and pathogenicity tests on tubers and also by PCR analyses. Tests on the pathogenicity of E. carotovo...

The moth orchid (Phalaenopsis sp.) is one of the most popular orchids due to various colors with distinctive shapes flowers. Soft rot disease caused by Pectobacteriaceae (SRP) family commonly found infected this plant. showed pale-colored blackish slimy rot. This research was conducted in three locations namely Denpasar, Badung, and Karangasem, resulted 10 candidates for pathogenic bacteria. pa...
