Abstrakt: Aim: Fire blight, attributed to the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, significantly damages economically important crops, such as apples and pears. Conventional methods for managing fire blight involve the application of chemical pesticides, such as streptomycin and oxytetracycline. Nevertheless, apprehensions are increasing regarding developing antibiotic and pesticide-resistant strains, compounded by documented instances of plant toxicity. Here, we present that Streptomyces recifensis SN1E1 has exhibited remarkable efficacy in suppressing apple fire blight disease. This study aims to unravel the molecular-level antimicrobial mechanisms employed by the SN1E1 strain.
Methods and Results: We identified four antimicrobial-associated biosynthetic gene clusters within the genomics of S. recifensis SN1E1. To validate antimicrobial activity against E. amylovora, knock-out mutants of biosynthetic genes linked to antimicrobial activity were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis system. Notably, the whiE4 and phzB deficient mutants displayed statistically reduced antibacterial activity against E. amylovora.
Conclusion: This research establishes a foundation for environmental and biological control studies. The potential utilization of environmentally friendly microbial agents derived from the SN1E1 strain holds promise for the biological control of fire blight disease.
