Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 produces a variety of secondary metabolites, in particular the antibiotics pyoluteorin and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, and protects various plants from diseases caused by soilborne pathogenic fungi. The rpoD gene encoding the housekeeping sigma factor sigma 70 of P. fluorescens was sequenced. The deduced RpoD protein showed 83% identity with RpoD of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 67% identity with RpoD of Escherichia coli. Attempts to inactivate the single chromosomal rpoD gene of strain CHA0 were unsuccessful, indicating an essential role of this gene. When rpoD was carried by an IncP vector in strain CHA0, the production of both antibiotics was increased severalfold and, in parallel, protection of cucumber against disease caused by Pythium ultimum was improved, in comparison with strain CHA0.
荧光假单胞菌CHA0能产生多种次生代谢产物,特别是抗生素绿脓菌素和2,4 - 二乙酰基间苯三酚,并能保护多种植物免受土传致病真菌引起的病害。对编码荧光假单胞菌管家σ因子σ70的rpoD基因进行了测序。推导的RpoD蛋白与铜绿假单胞菌的RpoD有83%的同一性,与大肠杆菌的RpoD有67%的同一性。使CHA0菌株的单个染色体rpoD基因失活的尝试未成功,表明该基因具有重要作用。当rpoD由IncP载体携带在CHA0菌株中时,与CHA0菌株相比,两种抗生素的产量均增加了数倍,同时,对黄瓜抵御终极腐霉引起的病害的保护作用也得到了改善。
