摘要:
Microplastics (MPs) have been proven to be one of the major threats to the wastewater treatment system. However, the impact of MPs on microalgae-based wastewater treatment technology are still unknown. In this study, effects of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) on the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from synthetic piggery digestate by microalgae were investigated. Results show that the effect of PVC particle size on the growth of microalgae was significant. The effects of PVC content, PP particle size and content, PET particle size and content on the growth of microalgae were all not significant. The removal of ammonia nitrogen by microalgae was influenced significantly by PVC particle size and content, PP particle size and content, the effects of PET particle size and content on the removal of ammonia nitrogen were all not significant. The effects of particle size and content for three MPs on the removal of total phosphorus were all significant. Microalgae cells were bound together after being adsorbed by MPs, which increased the secretion of extracellular polymers and influenced the removal of ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus.
摘要:
Mycovirus-infected fungi can suffer from poor growth, attenuated pigmentation, and virulence. However, the molecular mechanisms of how mycoviruses confer these symptoms remain poorly understood. Here, we report a mycovirus Stemphylium lycopersici alternavirus 1 (SlAV1) isolated from a necrotrophic plant pathogen Stemphylium lycopersici that causes altered colony pigmentation and hypovirulence by specifically interfering host biosynthesis of Altersolanol A, a polyketide phytotoxin. SlAV1 significantly down-regulates a fungal polyketide synthase (PKS1), the core enzyme of Altersolanol A biosynthesis. PKS1 deletion mutants do not accumulate Altersolanol A and lose pathogenicity to tomato and lettuce. Transgenic expression of SlAV1 open-reading frame 3 (ORF3) in S. lycopersici inhibits fungal PKS1 expression and Altersolanol A accumulation, leading to symptoms like SlAV1-infected fungal strains. Multiple plant species sprayed with mycelial suspension of S. lycopersici or S. vesicarium strains integrating and expressing ORF3 display enhanced resistance against virulent strains, converting the pathogenic fungi into biocontrol agents. Hence, our study not only proves inhibiting a key enzyme of host phytotoxin biosynthesis as a molecular mechanism underlying SlAV1-mediated hypovirulence of Stemphylium spp., but also demonstrates the potential of mycovirus-gene integrated fungi as a potential biocontrol agent to protect plants from fungal diseases.
摘要:
In this study, a novel mitovirus designed "Colletotrichum higginsianum mitovirus 1" (ChMV1) was isolated from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum. The genome of this mitovirus is 2,893 nt in length with an A + U content of 61% and contains a large open reading frame (ORF) encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). A BLASTp analysis revealed that the RdRp domain of ChMV1 had 30.25% to 61.72% sequence identity to those of members of the genus Mitovirus and showed the highest degree of similarity (61.72% identity) to Botrytis cinerea mitovirus 3 (BcMV3). Phylogenetic analysis further indicated that ChMV1 is a member in the genus Mitovirus of the family Mitoviridae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a mitovirus in C. higginsianum.
摘要:
In this study, we isolated and determined the complete genome sequence of a novel mitovirus, “Botryosphaeria dothidea mitovirus 2” (BdMV2), from the phytopathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea isolate DT-5. BdMV2 has a genome 2,482 nt in length with an A+U content of 67%. The genome of BdMV2 contains a single large open reading frame (ORF) encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of 717 amino acids (aa) with a molecular mass of 81.86 kDa. A BLASTp comparison of the RdRp sequence showed the highest identity (66.67%) with that of Alternaria arborescens mitovirus 1 (AbMV1). Sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis revealed that BdMV2 is a new member of the genus Mitovirus of the family Mitoviridae.

摘要:
In this study, a novel single-stranded RNA virus was isolated from the plant-pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum strain HTC-5, and the virus was named “Colletotrichum higginsianum ssRNA virus 1” (ChRV1). The complete genome of ChRV1 is 3850 nucleotides in length with a GC content of 52% and contains two in-frame open reading frames (ORFs): ORF1 (smaller) and ORF2 (larger). ORF1 encodes a protein with the highest sequence similarity to proteins encoded by Phoma matteucciicola RNA virus 1 (PmRV1, 47.99% identity) and Periconia macrospinosa ambiguivirus 1 (PmAV1, 50.73% identity). ORF2 encodes a protein with a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) domain with similarity to the RdRps of PmRV1 (61.41% identity) and PmAV1 (60.61% identity), which are recently reported unclassified (+) ssRNA mycoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis of the RdRp domain showed that ChRV1 grouped together with PmRV1, PmAV1, and other unclassified (+) ssRNA mycoviruses and had a distant relationship to invertebrate viruses and plant viruses of the family Tombusviridae. This is the first report of a novel (+) ssRNA virus infecting the phytopathogenic fungus C. higginsianum.
摘要:
A novel virus, Botryosphaeria dothidea bipartite mycovirus 1 (BdBMV1), was isolated from the plant-pathogenic fungus Botryosphaeria dothidea strain HNDT1, and the complete nucleotide sequence of its genome was determined. BdBMV1 consists of two genomic segments. The first segment is 1,976 bp in length and contains a single open reading frame (ORF) encoding the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) (68.95 kDa). The second segment is 1,786 bp in length and also contains a single ORF encoding a hypothetical protein of 35.19 kDa of unknown function. Based on the sequence of its RdRp, BdBMV1 is phylogenetically related to several other unclassified dsRNA mycoviruses, including Cryphonectria parasitica bipartite mycovirus 1 (CpBV1), and has a distant relationship to members of the family Partitiviridae.
