解淀粉芽孢杆菌SWB16菌株脂肽类代谢产物对球孢白僵菌的拮抗作用

Antagonism against Beauveria bassiana by lipopeptide metabolites produced by entophyte Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain SWB16

【目的】筛选对球孢白僵菌(Beauveria bassiana)具有较强拮抗作用的细菌菌株及检测菌株脂肽类代谢产物的拮抗活性。【方法】通过形态学观察、生理生化实验、16S rRNA和gyrA基因序列分析鉴定目标菌株;用滤纸片扩撒法(K-B法)测定抑菌圈的直径;采用甲醇萃取菌株发酵液以提取脂肽类代谢产物,并显微观察提取物对白僵菌分生孢子及菌丝的拮抗作用;高效液相色谱-质谱联用方法及靶基因克隆技术检测菌株脂肽类代谢产物的主要成分和基因。【结果】从植物盾叶薯蓣(Dioscorea zingiberensis C.H.Wright)组织内分离得到了一株对球孢白僵菌具有较强拮抗活性的菌株SWB16,该菌株属于解淀粉芽孢杆菌(Bacillus amyloliquefaciens),其脂肽类提取物对球孢白僵菌分生孢子的发芽和菌丝生长均具有明显的抑制作用,质谱检测表明提取物的主要成分是芬枯草菌素和伊枯草菌素,从菌株基因组中克隆到编码芬枯草菌素和伊枯草菌素的fenB基因和ituA基因。【结论】解淀粉芽孢杆菌(B.amyloliquefaciens)SWB16菌株能产生脂肽类抗生素并对球孢白僵菌具有拮抗作用,拮抗活性显示该菌株对防治家蚕等经济昆虫的白僵病具有潜在的应用价值。

[ Objective ]We screened bacterial strains that have strong antagonism against Beauveria bassiana, an important pathogen of silkworm industry, and detected the antagonistic activity of lipopeptide metabolites. [ Methods] We identified bacterium SWB16 by morphological observation, physiological and biochemical experiments, 16SrRNA, and gyrA gene sequence analysis, tested antagonistic activity of strain SWB16 against Beauveria bassiana by measuring the inhibition zone diameter using filter paper diffusion method （ Kirby-Bauer method） , obtained lipopeptide metabolites of the strain using methanol extraction and observed the antagonism of strain SWB16 lipopeptide extracts against the conidia and hyphae of Beauveria bassiana, detected main ingredients and genes of lipopeptide metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and PCR amplification. [ Results ] SWB16 isolated from tissue of plant Dioscorea zingiberensis C. H. Wright belongs to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and showed high antagonistic activity to Beauveria bassiana, and the lipopeptide extracts of isolate SWB16 exhibited significant inhibition to conidial germination and myeelial growth of Beauveria bassiana. The result of mass spectrometric detection indicated main component of the lipopeptide metabolites were fengein and iturin, and genes fenB, ituA involved in the synthesis of them were amplified in the genome. [ Conclusion] Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain SWB16 could produce lipopeptide antibiotics with strong antagonism to the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, and the results suggested that strain SWB16 has potential application value for controlling white muscardine of economic insects including silkworm.
