Serratia plymuthica strain PRI-2C is a rhizosphere bacterial strain with antagonistic activity against different plant pathogens. Here we present the 5.39-Mb (G+C content, 55.67%) draft genome sequence of S. plymuthica strain PRI-2C with the aim of providing insight into the genomic basis of its antagonistic activity.

The endophytic bacterium Pseudomonas poae RE*1-1-14 shows broad antagonistic activity and is applied to seeds as a biocontrol agent to suppress late root rot in the sugar beet. The completely sequenced 5.5-Mb genome reveals genes that putatively contribute to this antagonistic activity and the intimate plant-microbe interaction.

debaryomyces hansenizopf isolated from the fructoplane of apples were found to be effective as biocontrol agent against rot of papaya caused by ulocladium. chartarum(pr.) simm. the ability of d. hansenii to prevent infection of u. chartarum was lost when the antagonist cells were killed by autoclaving. cell free culture filtrates of antagonist were unable to prevent disease incidence. efficacy ...

In this study the antagonistic activity among 55 Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus strains, belonging to 13 electrophoretic types (ETs), in culture media was analyzed. Antagonistic effects were seen only in strains belonging to two ETs named ET-1 and ET-3. Two out of 29 ET-1 strains, and 3 out of 7 ET-3 strains of G. diazotrophicus showed antagonistic effects against many other strains belonging...

Mirtazapine {1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexa-hydro-2-meth-ylpyrazino [2,1a] pyrido [2,3-c]benzazepin} is a tetracyclic compound with antidepressant activity in human [1]. Mirtazapine has a unique mechanism of action, different from that of the classical tricyclic antidepressants, the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and could be described as a noradrenergic and spec...

As an approach to understanding the molecular basis of the reduction in plant yield depression by root-colonizing Pseudomonas spp. and especially of the role of the bacterial cell surfaces in this process, we characterized 30 plant-root-colonizing Pseudomonas spp. with respect to siderophore production, antagonistic activity, plasmid content, and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel elect...

effects of induced mutation via gamma irradiated with 250 gy dose (in nuclear agriculture research school- nuclear science and technology research institute) on trichoderma harzianum conidiaon chitinase activity by sts molecular marker have been evaluated in this study. among 20 irradiated mutants which selected via improved antagonistic capability against rhizoctonia solani, pcr amplified chit...
