Sumario: | Burkholderia glumae is a causal agent of bacterial grain and seedling rot in rice, and is a threat to stable global food supply. The virulence of B. glumae was suppressed when it was inoculated on budding seed rather than on non-budding seed. To clarify the phenomena, pathogen titer inside the rice plant was measured by serial dilution plating of lysates from budding rice seedlings. Surprisingly, morphologically different types of colonies were observed on the plates. These ‘contaminated’ rice seed-born bacteria (RSB) were identified by sequencing 16S rRNA genes as three strains of Pseudomonas putida (RSB1, RSB10, RSB15) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (RSB2). All bacteria and B. glumae were simultaneously inoculated onto rice seeds, and all three P. putida RSBs suppressed the growth disruption caused by B. glumae, whereas RSB2 had no effect. Thus, the virulence was synergistically suppressed when co-treated with RSBs. The effect could be dependent on the high biofilm formation ability of RSB2. By comprehensive microbiota analysis, endogenous rice flora were changed by RSBs treatment. These results suggest the possibility of novel pathogen control through pre-treatment with endogenous beneficial microorganisms. The method would contribute substantially to the implementation of sustainable agriculture stated in Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations. |
