Factors that Affect Spread of Pseudomonas syringae in the Phyllosphere

ABSTRACT Successful spread of an organism to a new habitat requires both immigration to and growth on that habitat. Field experiments were conducted to determine the relative roles of dispersal (i.e., immigration) and bacterial multiplication in spread of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae in the phyllosphere. To study spread, individual plots consisted of three nested concentric squares with the inner 6 m(2) planted to snap beans serving as the sink. Each sink, in turn, was surrounded by a barrier zone, usually 6 m wide, which was surrounded by a 6-m-wide source area. The source areas were planted with snap bean seeds inoculated with doubly marked strains derived from wild-type P. syringae pv. syringae B728a. The treatments were designed to test the effects of the nature and width of the barrier zone and suitability of the habitat in the sinks on spread of P. syringae pv. syringae. The marked strains introduced into the source areas at the time of planting were consistently detected in sink areas within a day or two after emergence of bean seedlings in the sources as assessed by leaf imprinting and dilution plating. The amounts of spread (population sizes of the marked strain in sinks) across barrier zones planted to snap bean (a suitable habitat for growth of P. syringae pv. syringae), soybean (not a favorable habitat for P. syringae pv. syringae), and bare ground were not significantly different. Thus, the nature of the barrier had no measurable effect on spread. Similarly, spread across bare-ground barriers 20 m wide was not significantly different from that across barriers 6 m wide, indicating that distance on this scale was not a major factor in determining the amount of spread. The suitability of the sink for colonization by P. syringae pv. syringae had a measurable effect on spread. Spread to sinks planted to clean seed was greater than that to sinks planted with bean seeds inoculated with a slurry of pulverized brown spot diseased bean leaves, sinks planted 3 weeks before sources, and sinks planted to a snap bean cultivar that does not support large numbers of P. syringae pv. syringae. Based of these results, we conclude that the small amount of dispersal that occurred on the scale studied was sufficient to support extensive spread, and suitability of the habitat for multiplication of P. syringae pv. syringae strongly influenced the amount of spread.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. solidagae pv. nov., the Causal Agent of Bacterial Leaf Spot of Tall Goldenrod Solidago altissima L.

A new bacterial disease of tall goldenrod (Solidago altissima L., “Seitaka-awadachiso” in Japanese), one of the most serious weeds in non-agricultural land, was discovered in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Characterized by angular or round, dark brown necrotic spots on leaves, this disease resulted in defoliation and terminal dieback of the plants in severe cases. The disease was named “bacterial leaf spot”. The causal bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas syringae based on its bacteriological properties including those determined by LOPAT tests. The present bacterium was pathogenic to tall goldenrod alone but not to many other tested plants including weeds, flowers, trees and crops. In addition, P. syringae pv. syringae and other pathovars did not show any pathogenicity to tall goldenrod. Because no pathovars of P. syringae pathogenic to tall goldenrod have been reported, the present bacterium was concluded to be a new pathovar of P. syringae. We propose the name P. syringae pv. solidagae pv. nov. , and strain Sei 1 (MAFF 810063) is designated as the pathotype strain and has been deposited in the MAFF collection with two reference strains (MAFF 810064 and MAFF81066).

Multilocus sequence typing of Pseudomonas syringae sensu lato confirms previously described genomospecies and permits rapid identification of P. syringae pv. coriandricola and P. syringae pv. apii causing bacterial leaf spot on parsley

Since 2002, severe leaf spotting on parsley (Petroselinum crispum) has occurred in Monterey County, CA. Either of two different pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae sensu lato were isolated from diseased leaves from eight distinct outbreaks and once from the same outbreak. Fragment analysis of DNA amplified between repetitive sequence polymerase chain reaction; 16S rDNA sequence analysis; and biochemical, physiological, and host range tests identified the pathogens as Pseudomonas syringae pv. apii and P. syringae pv. coriandricola. Koch's postulates were completed for the isolates from parsley, and host range tests with parsley isolates and pathotype strains demonstrated that P. syringae pv. apii and P. syringae pv. coriandricola cause leaf spot diseases on parsley, celery, and coriander or cilantro. In a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) approach, four housekeeping gene fragments were sequenced from 10 strains isolated from parsley and 56 pathotype strains of P. syringae. Allele sequences were uploaded to the Plant-Associated Microbes Database and a phylogenetic tree was built based on concatenated sequences. Tree topology directly corresponded to P. syringae genomospecies and P. syringae pv. apii was allocated appropriately to genomospecies 3. This is the first demonstration that MLST can accurately allocate new pathogens directly to P. syringae sensu lato genomospecies. According to MLST, P. syringae pv. coriandricola is a member of genomospecies 9, P. cannabina. In a blind test, both P. syringae pv. coriandricola and P. syringae pv. apii isolates from parsley were correctly identified to pathovar. In both cases, MLST described diversity within each pathovar that was previously unknown.     

Serological detection and identification of bacteria from plants by the conjugated Staphylococcus aureus slide agglutination test

A rapid slide agglutination test using polyclonal antisera conjugated to protein A-rich whole-cell Staphylococcus aureus was developed for the detection and identification of bacteria from plants. The specificity and sensitivity of the technique was evaluated in 18 antibody/antigen combinations, representing six bacterial genera ( Erwinia, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Rhodococcus and Xanthomonas ). For two pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae the specificity of the technique was increased by the use of antisera prepared to somatic extracts.
The advantages of the Staphylococcus aureus agglutination technique include speed, simplicity and the ability to identify organisms directly from infected plant tissues. It was applied to the detection of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola and pv. pisi in lesions on bean and pea, respectively, to P. gladioli pv. alliicola and Lactobacillus sp. from rotted onion bulbs and specific strains of Rhizobium phaseoli in bean root nodules.     

Pseudomonas syringae Responds to the Environment on Leaves by Cell Size Reduction

ABSTRACT The length and volume of cells of the plant-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae strain B728a were measured in vitro and with time after inoculation on bean leaf surfaces to assess both the effect of nutrient availability on the cell size of P. syringae and, by inference, the variability in nutrient availability in the leaf surface habitat. Cells of P. syringae harboring a green fluorescent protein marker gene were visualized by epifluorescence microscopy after recovery from leaves or culture and their size was estimated by analysis of captured digital images. The average cell length of bacteria grown on leaves was significantly smaller than that of cultured cells, and approached that of cells starved in phosphate buffer for 24 h. The average length of cells originally grown on King's medium B decreased from approximately 2.5 to approximately 1.2 mum by 7 days after inoculation on plants. Some decrease in cell size occurred during growth of cells on leaves and continued for up to 13 days after cell multiplication ceased. Although cultured cells exhibited a normal size distribution, the size of cells recovered from bean plants at various times after inoculation was strongly right-hand skewed and was described by a log-normal distribution. The skewness of the size distribution tended to increase with time after inoculation. The reduced cell size of P. syringae B728a on plants was readily reversible when recovered cells were grown in culture. Direct in situ measurements of cell sizes on leaves confirmed that most cells of P. syringae respond to the leaf environment by reducing their size. The spatial heterogeneity of cell sizes observed on leaves suggest that nutrient availability is quite variable on the leaf surface environment.     

Comparison of Ethylene Production by Pseudomonas syringae and Ralstonia solanacearum

ABSTRACT Strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. pisi and Ralstonia solanacearum produced ethylene at rates 20- and 200-fold lower, respectively, than strains of P. syringae pvs. cannabina, glycinea, phaseolicola, and sesami. In the current study, we investigated which ethylene biosynthetic pathways were used by P. syringae pv. pisi and R. solanacearum. Neither the activity of an ethylene-forming enzyme nor a corresponding efe gene homolog could be detected in R. solanacearum, suggesting synthesis of ethylene via 2-keto-4-methyl-thiobutyric acid. In contrast, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent ethylene formation was observed with P. syringae pv. pisi, and Southern blot hybridization revealed the presence of an efe homolog in this pathovar. The efe genes from P. syringae pvs. cannabina, glycinea, phaseolicola, pisi, and sesami were sequenced. Nucleotide sequence comparisons indicated that the efe gene in pv. pisi was not as highly conserved as it was in other P. syringae pathovars. The pv. pisi efe homolog showed numerous nucleotide substitutions and a deletion of 13 amino acids at the C-terminus of the predicted gene product. These sequence alterations might account for the lower rate of ethylene production by this pathovar. All ethylene-producing P. syringae pathovars were virulent on bush bean plants. The overlapping host range of these pathovars suggests that horizontal transfer of the efe gene may have occurred among bacteria inhabiting the same host.
