Nanjing Agricultural University: to bacteria "g" bacteria targeted disease resistance

to use one bacteria against another, which opens the brains of plant protection scholars. On May 7, The ISME Journa published online the results of a team of professors Cui Zhongli and Zhang Zhengguang of Nanjing Agricultural University, who used sticky bacteria to directly prey on the properties of a variety of bacteria and fungi, inducing them to "targeted capture" to combat a variety of plant pathogenic fungi, including rice pestilence bacteria and withered germs, and to achieve control of plant pathogens in the safest ecological way possible.
bacteria are predatory microorganisms that directly prey on a variety of bacteria and fungi to get the nutrients they need to survive. Scientists already know that sticky bacteria hunt their prey in ways that range from direct attacks to "wolf-like" attacks, where they surround and then hunt. However, scientists have not previously understood how sticky bacteria identify and prey on pathogens.
The researchers found that by secreting a new type of outer membrane glycoside hydrolysase, the mucous bacteria EGB can directly crack a glucosin in the cell wall of the fungus, destroying the complete structure of the cell wall of the fungus, thereby preventing subsequent infection of the fungus.
researchers obtained a glycoside hydrolysis enzyme in this study, whose special substrate hydrolysis and high-ratio vitality make it a new broad-spectrum antifellar protein. Further discoveries are made through the replacement of the same-origin protein, which is directly involved in the identification of pathogens by sticky bacteria, i.e. sticky bacteria can identify mycelium and then attach to and crack for nutrition and reproduction.
this study for the first time analyzed the predation mechanism of sticky bacteria on plant pathogens, identified the key factors involved in the process of sticky bacteria predation, and was of great significance to clarify the process of the interoperability between sticky bacteria and plant pathogens.
