Biofilm characterisation of the maize rot-causing pathogen, Fusarium verticillioides.
Biofilm formation was investigated in a maize rot-causing pathogen, Fusarium verticillioides. This work revealed that in vitro cultures produce structured, adherent communities with a dense extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding hyphae that makes up the biomass of a matured biofilm. Pellicle containing exopolysaccharide had a hydrodynamic diameter of 4.19 nm and a low viscosity (0.022 dl/g). The exopolysaccharide was composed of amino sugars and unordered, facilitating stability through complexation with the anionic eDNA. Biofilm formation varied over different pH and temperature values, emphasising its role in promoting adaption, survival, and persistence in F. verticillioides, potentially contributing to its pathogenicity in maize. Collectively, the results provide valuable insights into biofilm structure and stress resistance in this fungus, and will serve as a foundation for future studies incorporating in planta infection systems.
期刊介绍:
Biofouling is an international, peer-reviewed, multi-discliplinary journal which publishes original articles and mini-reviews and provides a forum for publication of pure and applied work on protein, microbial, fungal, plant and animal fouling and its control, as well as studies of all kinds on biofilms and bioadhesion.
Papers may be based on studies relating to characterisation, attachment, growth and control on any natural (living) or man-made surface in the freshwater, marine or aerial environments, including fouling, biofilms and bioadhesion in the medical, dental, and industrial context.
Specific areas of interest include antifouling technologies and coatings including transmission of invasive species, antimicrobial agents, biological interfaces, biomaterials, microbiologically influenced corrosion, membrane biofouling, food industry biofilms, biofilm based diseases and indwelling biomedical devices as substrata for fouling and biofilm growth, including papers based on clinically-relevant work using models that mimic the realistic environment in which they are intended to be used.
