Endophytic Fungus Talaromyces sp. MR1 Promotes the Growth and Cadmium Uptake of Arabidopsis thaliana L. Under Cadmium Stress
Curr Microbiol. 2023 Sep 21;80(11):346. doi: 10.1007/s00284-023-03453-3.ABSTRACTEndophytes play essential roles in plant growth under metal(loid)s stress. An endophytic fungus strain MR1 was isolated from the roots of Miscanthus floridulus collected from a lead-zinc mining area (Huayuan, China), which could produce indole-3-acetic acid and have Cadmium (Cd) tolerance. Further 18S rRNA sequencing analysis showed that it was highly similar (99.83%) to Talaromyces pinophilus. In pot experiments, we explored the effects of strain MR1 on the growth and Cd uptake of a wide-type Arabidopsis thaliana under low (LC) and high (HC) C...

The Facile Synthesis of Eco-Friendly Zinc Magnesium Bimetal Nanoparticles and its Application in the Eradication of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae that Causes Leaf Blight Disease of Rice
Curr Microbiol. 2023 Sep 15;80(11):340. doi: 10.1007/s00284-023-03455-1.ABSTRACTIn this research work, we formulated and successfully assessed the antibacterial capability of zinc magnesium bimetal nanoparticles (ZnMgNPs) against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the pathogenic microorganism responsible for causing the destructive leaf blight disease in rice. Successful preparation of ZnMgNPs were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). ZnMgNPs had antibacterial efficacy towards Xoo at MIC (minimum inhibitory concentratio...

Effectiveness of Phosphate and Zinc Solubilizing Paenarthrobacter nitroguajacolicus P1 as Halotolerant Rhizobacterium with Growth-Promoting Activity on Pistacia vera L
Curr Microbiol. 2023 Sep 4;80(10):336. doi: 10.1007/s00284-023-03448-0.ABSTRACTPlant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microorganisms to develop microbial fertilizers. Biofertilizers can accelerate plant growth and enhance crop yields. The current research aimed to isolate and identify rhizobacterium with plant growth-promoting activity in the rhizospheric region of pistachio trees in arid and salty region of Iran. In the present study, 26 bacterial isolates were isolated from the rhizospheric region of the pistachio trees. Plant growth-promoting characteristics of isolated bacteria, including the abilit...

Proteomic Profiles and Protein Network Analysis of Primary Human Leukocytes Revealed Possible Clearance Biomarkers for Staphylococcus aureus Infection
Curr Microbiol. 2023 Sep 4;80(10):335. doi: 10.1007/s00284-023-03450-6.ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus is a serious pathogen that can survive within host cells after a typical course of treatment completion, leading to chronic infection. Knowledge of host proteomic patterns after clearance of this pathogen from cells is limited. Here, we looked for S. aureus clearance biomarkers produced by in vitro-infected leukocytes. Extracellular proteins from primary human leukocytes infected with S. aureus ATCC 25923 were investigated as possible treatment-monitoring clearance biomarkers by applying a proteomics approach combining liqu...

Euglena gracilis: Biochemical properties of a membrane bound ecto-phosphatase activity modulated by fluoroaluminate complexes and different trophic conditions
Eur J Protistol. 2023 Jul 20;90:126010. doi: 10.1016/j.ejop.2023.126010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ecto-phosphatases belong to a group of enzymes closely associated with the cell surface that has its catalytic site facing the extracellular environment, where different phosphorylated substrates can be hydrolyzed. In the present work, we biochemically characterized the ecto-phosphatase activity of the freshwater microalgae Euglena gracilis, a model microorganism, ubiquitously distributed and resistant to several environmental stressors. The ecto-phosphatase activity is acidic, stimulated by copper and presents the fo...
