An important role of surfactin synthesis by endophytic bacteria in protecting wheat against cereal aphids has been shown to manifest itself in a direct insecticidal effect and an indirect effect through the induction of systemic resistance in plants.

We have shown the direct and indirect effect of lipopeptide-producing endophytic bacteria of the genus Bacillus on the viability of greenbug aphid Schizaphis graminum Rond. and the induction of systemic resistance in wheat plants.

In nature, plants are constantly exposed to a varied abiotic and biotic stresses or their combinations, limiting the productivity of major crops, including wheat. Combinations of drought and soil-borne Fusarium-instigated diseases are the most common combinations of stresses, significantly reducing wheat yield around the world. Here, were analyzed the potential of application of endophytic bacteria Bacillus subtilis (strain 10–4) together with the natural signal molecule salicylic acid (SA) to improve growth and tolerance of Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) plants under combined drought and Fusarium culmorum-instigated root rot (FRR) stresses. It was revealed that pre-sowing treatment with B. subtilis 10–4, SA, and B. subtilis 10–4 + SA, both under normal and combined drought conditions, notably reduced (by 50–80% or more) the incidence of FRR development in wheat plants, with the most notable effect for B. subtilis 10–4 + SA (wherein disease symptoms were almost absent). Moreover, B. subtilis 10–4, SA, and especially B. subtilis 10–4 + SA increased plant growth (root and shoot length, fresh and dry biomass) under normal (up to 20–50%), drought (up to 15–40%), FRR (up to 15–30%), and combined drought + FRR stresses (up to 20%), with the maximum effect for B. subtilis 10–4 + SA. Additionally, B. subtilis 10–4, SA, and B. subtilis 10–4 + SA decreased stress (drought, FRR, and combined drought + FRR)-instigated lipid peroxidation and osmotic damages of plant cells. The findings indicate that endophytic bacteria B. subtilis 10–4 alone and in a mixture with SA may be used as an effective eco-friendly agent to improve wheat growth and tolerance under the influence of drought, FRR, and combinations of these stresses.

The rhizobacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7NSK2 produces secondary metabolites such as pyochelin (Pch), its precursor salicylic acid (SA), and the phenazine compound pyocyanin. Both 7NSK2 and mutant KMPCH (Pch-negative, SA-positive) induced resistance to Botrytis cinerea in wild-type but not in transgenic NahG tomato. SA-negative mutants of both strains lost the capacity to induce resistance. On tomato roots, KMPCH produced SA and induced phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, while this was not the case for 7NSK2. In 7NSK2, SA is probably very efficiently converted to Pch. However, Pch alone appeared not to be sufficient to induce resistance. In mammalian cells, Fe-Pch and pyocyanin can act synergistically to generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals that cause cell damage. Reactive oxygen species are known to play an important role in plant defense. To study the role of pyocyanin in induced resistance, a pyocyanin-negative mutant of 7NSK2, PHZ1, was generated. PHZ1 is mutated in the phzM gene encoding an O-methyltransferase. PHZ1 was unable to induce resistance to B. cinerea, whereas complementation for pyocyanin production or co-inoculation with mutant 7NSK2-562 (Pch-negative, SA-negative, pyocyanin-positive) restored induced resistance. These results suggest that pyocyanin and Pch, rather than SA, are the determinants for induced resistance in wild-type P. aeruginosa 7NSK2.

Anthrax is a serious infectious disease with high mortality. The epidemiological security depends on the vaccination of susceptible animals and population at risk. But many of the existing anthrax vaccine strains possess low levels of protective antigen production and high reactogenicity. One of the most promising trends in production of new generation of vaccines is the cloning of particular determinants of immunogenicity of anthrax microbe for the creation of highly effective producers of Bacillus anthracis protective antigen. The aim of the article is to present the results of the study on the construction of recombinant Bacillus subtilis strain, producing B.anthracis protective antigen, promising for use in chemical anthrax vaccines technology. The pHT43PA plasmid containing the gene pag, providing the synthesis of protective antigen of the anthrax microbe and functioning stably in the cells of the recombinant strain Amy21(pHT43РА) of B. subtilis, was constructed on the basis of the shuttle vector pHT43. It is found out during the research, that the microbial cells of the recombinant strain Amy21(pHT43РА) of B. subtilis provide the production of immunologically active protective antigen in quantities, not inferior than anthrax vaccine strains. These data, as well as safety and simplicity of В. subtilis make it possible to continue the research of this recombinant strain as a producer of anthrax protective antigen, promising for use in vaccines production
