Wide-range antifungal antagonism ofPaenibacillus ehimensisIB-X-b and its dependence on chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase production

Abstract: Previously, we isolated a strain of Bacillus that had antifungal activity and produced lytic enzymes with fungicidal potential. In the present study, we identified the bacterium as Paenibacillus ehimensis and further explored its antifungal properties. In liquid co-cultivation assays, P. ehimensis IB-X-b decreased biomass production of several pathogenic fungi by 45%-75%. The inhibition was accompanied by degradation of fungal cell walls and alterations in hyphal morphology. Residual medium from cultures of P.… Show more

“…Recently, their biocontrol potential against bacteria and fungi has attracted considerable notice, owing to the production of antimicrobial substances and cell wall-degrading enzymes (27,(46)(47)(48)(49). Molecular biological information regarding Paenibacillus chitinases is, however, scarce, and their amino acid sequences mostly remain to be determined.…”

“…β-1,3-Glucanase (EC 3.2.1.39) is produced by various organisms (BRENDA, http://www.brenda-enzymes.org/) and is known to be a biological control enzyme with a chitinase (EC 3.2.1. 14) in the lysis of cell walls of plant pathogenic fungi (Mauch and Staehelin 1989;El-Katatny et al 2001;Aktuganov et al 2008). Indeed, both enzymes are induced simultaneously by pea tissue (Mauch et al 1988), tobacco explants (Neale et al 1990), tomato seeds and leaves (Wu and Bradford 2003), grapevine (Aziz et al 2003), Trichoderma harzianum (De la Cruz et al 1993;El-Katatny et al 2000, Bacillus sp.…”

(Helistö et al 2001), and Paenibacillus ehimensis (Aktuganov et al 2008). β-1,3-Glucanase is useful for preparation of biologically active β-1,3-oligomers and protoplast of fungi and yeast cells and production of bioethanol from brown algae (Story et al 2014;Gouveria et al 2010).…”

“…Chitinases have immense potential for biotechnological applications and may be used as biocontrol agents against phytopathogenic fungi as well as on important agricultural pest and vectors of diseases (Aktuganov et al 2008;Chernin et al 1995Chernin et al , 1997Kobayashi et al 2002;Liu et al 2008;Pan et al 2006). Several genera of bacteria, including Serratia (Mehmood et al 2009;Suzuki et al 2002;Watanabe et al 1997), Enterobacter (Chernin et al 1995), and Aeromonas (Wang et al 2003;Li et al 2007;Mehmood et al 2010) produce high levels of chitinolytic enzymes.…”
