    Abstract Dickeya solani is an economically significant pectinolytic phytopathogen belonging to the Pectobacteriaceae family, which causes soft rot and blackleg diseases. Despite its notable impact on global potato production, there are no effective methods to control this pest. Here, we undertook a phyloproteomic study on 20 D. solani strains, of various origin and year of isolation, with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) supported by an in-depth characterization of the strains in terms of the virulence-associated phenotype. In spite of high homogeneity in this species, we herein revealed for the first time intraspecies variation in the MALDI-TOF MS protein profiles among the studied D. solani isolates. Finally, representative mass spectra for the four delineated clades are presented. A majority of the analysed D. solani strains showed high virulence potential, while two strains stood out in their growth dynamics, virulence factors production and ability to macerate plant tissue. Nonetheless, the metabolic profiles of D. solani strains turned out to be uniform, except for gelatinase activity. Given that all D. solani isolates distinctly grouped from the other Dickeya species in the MALDI-TOF MS analysis, there is strong evidence supporting the potential routine use of this method for fast and reliable to-species identification of D. solani isolates of environmental origin.

    Abstract Pectobacterium brasiliense is a widespread plant pathogenic bacterium classified to the Pectobacteriaceae family, which causes significant economic losses because of the developed soft rot and blackleg symptoms on potatoes and a wide spectrum of crops, vegetables, and ornamentals. One of the key virulence factors is a lipopolysaccharide due to its involvement in efficient colonisation of plant tissues and overcoming the host defence mechanisms. Thus, we structurally characterised the O-polysaccharide from the LPS of P. brasiliense strain IFB5527 (HAFL05) using chemical methods followed by GLC and GLC-MS as well as 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The analyses revealed that the polysaccharide repeating unit consists of Fuc, Glc, GlcN and an unusual N-formylated 6-deoxy amino sugar, Qui3NFo, and has the structure shown below: [Display omitted]

    Abstract Acquisition of high-quality bacterial genomes is fundamental, while having in mind investigation of subtitle intraspecies variation in addition to development of sensitive species-specific tools for detection and identification of the pathogens. In this view, Pacific Biosciences technology seems highly tempting taking into consideration over 10,000 bp length of the generated reads. In this work, we describe a bacterial genome assembly pipeline based on open-source software that might be handled also by non-bioinformaticians interested in transformation of sequencing data into reliable biological information. With the use of this method, we successfully closed six Dickeya solani genomes, while the assembly process was run just on a slightly improved desktop computer.

    Abstract High availability of fast, cheap, and high-throughput next generation sequencing techniques resulted in acquisition of numerous de novo sequenced and assembled bacterial genomes. It rapidly became clear that digging out useful biological information from such a huge amount of data presents a considerable challenge. In this chapter we share our experience with utilization of several handy open source comparative genomic tools. All of them were applied in the studies focused on revealing inter- and intraspecies variation in pectinolytic plant pathogenic bacteria classified to Dickeya solani and Pectobacterium parmentieri. As the described software performed well on the species within the Pectobacteriaceae family, it presumably may be readily utilized on some closely related taxa from the Enterobacteriaceae family. First of all, implementation of various annotation software is discussed and compared. Then, tools computing whole genome comparisons including generation of circular juxtapositions of multiple sequences, revealing the order of synteny blocks or calculation of ANI or Tetra values are presented. Besides, web servers intended either for functional annotation of the genes of interest or for detection of genomic islands, plasmids, prophages, CRISPR/Cas are described. Last but not least, utilization of the software designed for pangenome studies and the further downstream analyses is explained. The presented work not only summarizes broad possibilities assured by the comparative genomic approach but also provides a user-friendly guide that might be easily followed by nonbioinformaticians interested in undertaking similar studies.

    Abstract ERK is a component of mitogen-activated protein kinases that controls a range of cellular processes including cell proliferation and survival. The upregulation of ERK has been associated with apoptosis inhibition in response to various stimuli including chemotherapeutic agents. Research has suggested that the upregulation of ERK signaling by the anticancer agent paclitaxel leads to acquired resistance of cells to this compound. The presented research focused on determining the role of plumbagin, a naturally derived naphthoquinone, in the sensitization of breast cancer cells to paclitaxel-induced cell death and the involvement of ERK signaling in this process. The results of the study indicated that plumbagin increases the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to paclitaxel. Moreover, a synergistic effect between plumbagin and paclitaxel was observed. Plumbagin was shown to decrease levels of phosphorylated ERK in breast cancer cells and abrogated paclitaxel-induced ERK phosphorylation. The role of ERK in plumbagin-mediated sensitization of breast cancer cells to paclitaxel was shown through the enhancement of the synergistic effect between compounds in cells with decreased ERK expression. Furthermore, plumbagin reduced p-ERK levels in paclitaxel-resistant breast cancer cells and resensitized paclitaxel-resistant cells to this compound. These results imply that plumbagin inhibits ERK activation in breast cancer cells, which plays a role in the sensitization of cells to paclitaxel-induced cell death.

    Abstract Soft rot disease in potato is a major problem in fields and warehouses all over the world. Although it is known that bacteria from the genera Pectobacterium and Dickeya are the main causative agents of soft rot diseases, recent studies indicate the involvement of pectinolytic Bacillus and Paenibacillus in this disease. In the present research, samples of potato with soft rot symptoms were collected from eight governorates of Tunisia. Two hundred and seventy bacterial isolates were acquired from tubers. Twenty of the isolated strains indicted pectinolytic activity by forming deep cavities on crystal violet pectate medium. All pectinolytic isolates were able to macerate potato tuber tissue. Phenotypic characterisation showed that these isolates were Gram-positive bacilli, exhibiting pectinolytic, cellulolytic, proteolytic and amylolytic activity. The majority of the isolates indicated swimming and swarming motility. The application of API test, MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rDNA sequencing allowed for the assignment of nineteen of the tested isolates to the species Bacillus pumilus and one to the species Paenibacillus amyloliticus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of soft rot in potato caused by pectinolytic B. pumilus in Tunisia.
