Selection of available suicide vectors for gene mutagenesis using chiA (a chitinase encoding gene) as a new reporter and primary functional analysis of chiA in Lysobacter enzymogenes strain OH11.

Abstract:

:Here, three different suicide vectors were evaluated for the possibility of performing gene mutagenesis in strain OH11 using the chiA gene (accession number: DQ888611) as a new reporter. Suicide vector pEX18GM was selected, and it was successfully applied for disruption and in-frame deletions in the chiA gene in strain OH11, which was confirmed by PCR amplification and Southern hybridization. The chiA-deletion mutant OH11-3 did not have the ability to produce chitinase on chitine selection medium. Interestingly, the chiA-deletion mutants displayed wild-type antimicrobial activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Magnaporthe grisea, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Pythium ultimum. Our data suggest that chitinase might not be a unique lytic enzyme in controlling S. cerevisiae, M. grisea, P. capsici, and P. ultimum. R. solani, S. sclerotiorum. Also, suicide vector pEX18GM might be explored as a potential tool for gene deletions in L. enzymogenes, which will facilitate the molecular study of mechanisms of biological control in L. enzymogenes.
