Biocontrol of plant disease by predatory microbes (Myxobacteria)

• Myxobacteria are a group of special gram-negative bacteria, which can move on solid surface withot flagellum. Myxobacteria are ubiquitous Gram-negative soil-residing bacteria with a complex developmental cycle. Thay can be classified into proteolytic, cellulolytic and chitinnolytic habits according to the organic matter that they feed on. The proteolytic habit of myxobacteria is associated with predation of a broad range of soli bacteria and fungi, which has long been observed. However, the involved mechanisms are poorly understood. In our lab, Corallococcus sp. strain EGB can prey on various pathogenic fungi and efficiently control fungal diseases with a novel outer membrane β-1,6-glucanase (ISME J, 2019; Biological Control, 2018&2017). Otherwise,  Corallococcus sp. strain EGB controlled cucumber Fusarium wilt by migrating to the plant root and regulating the soil microbial community, which has the potential to be developed as a novel biological control agent of soil-borne Fusarium wilt (Microbiome, 2020, Food Microbiology, 2020).

Enzymes involved in the bioconversion

• Enzymes are important catalyst in biotransformation of important chemical intermediates in pharmaceutical, brewery, biofuel, and fine chemicals industry. These enzymes with high catalytic ability or special substrate affinity are important resources.  We are seeking to screen enzymes involved in biodegradation for potential application in biotransformation of valuable products. Otherwise, our lab also preformed the identifivation of novel glycosidase, which is involved in the bioconversion of glucan and pectin and biocontrol of fungal disease with fungal cell wall as the targte. The novel cellulase (Appl Microbiol Biotech,2012), maltohexaose foraming amylase (Appl Environ Microbiol, 2015), β-1,3-glucan (Appl Environ Microbiol, 2017), maltogenic amylase (Appl Environ Microbiol, 2018),  β-1,6-glucan (ISME, 2019) and chitinase ( Int J Biol Macromol, 2019) have been characterised.

• Enzymes involved in organic pollutants degradation are of special interest to protein crystallographer. These enzymes are different from enzymes involved in the common life process. They are evolved for the metabolism of special chemicals, especially artificially synthesized compounds (Appl Environ Microbiol, 2017&2108). We focus on the solving of the 3-D structure of enzymes involved in biodegradation. We have solved the structure of a novel 1, 2, 4-trihydroxybenezen dioxygenase, carboxypeptidase and maltogenic amylase. Crystals of p-nitrophenol 4-monooxygenase and a novel CMC-cellulase diffracting to high resolution were screened, which could diffract to 1.9? (BBRC, 2018&2019). Structures could give hints of the catalytic mechanisms of these enzymes and also lay the foundation for rational design of high effective enzymes for bioconversion.

Microbial degradation of environmental pollutants

• Microorganisms play important roles in the removal of organic pollutants in the environment. Degradative bacteria are the keys factor in the efficient bioremediation of organic pollutants. We focus on the development of microbiological techniques for bioremediation of chemical pesticides pollution and clarifying the microbial mechanisms during the degradation. A large number of strains that could degrade pesticides and herbicides have been isolated in our laboratory. Most of these strains could completely mineralize the target chemicals (Appl Environ Microbiol, 2017&2108; FEMS Microbiol Lett, 2011). For example, Pseudomonas putida DLL-1 was able to utilize parathion and methyl parathion as sole carbon sources. Genes involved in degradation of methyl parathion was cloned from strain DLL-1. Methyl parathion hydrolase Mph was a novel phosphotriesterase reported by our lab (Appl Environ Microbiol, 2001&2005). It was completely different from Oph from Flavobacterium sp. ATCC27551. Strains with high capacity towards hexachlorohexane, atrazine, 3, 5, 6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol and acetochlor were isolated (Appl Microbiol Biotech,2013; Int Biodeter Biodegr, 2015, FEMS J, 2016). Field experiments showed that degradative strains can effectively remove pesticides residues in soils.
