Bacteria are part of the microbes and most of the time coexists peacefully with animals and plants in the environment. However, when certain conditions change, harmless bacteria can transform into disease-causing bacteria. Because pathogenic microorganisms are widespread and have multiple routes of infection, it is inevitable that plants become infected with pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria can adsorb to the surface of plants, invade tissues and cells, proliferate and multiply, produce toxins, and even diffuse and dissolve host defense functions, causing damage to plants. Widespread infection of agricultural crops causes severe environmental and economic damage.
Biological control is an important part of ensuring the sustainable development of ecological agriculture. It can reduce soil and environmental pollution caused by chemical control, and can also effectively avoid problems such as microbial acquired resistance.
CD BioSciences provides an advanced technology platform for Plant Pathogenic Bacteria Screening Service, contributing to discover more bacteria that can be used for biocontrol. Our MicroScanTM technology platform is development to meet customer's personalized customization needs.
Types of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria
Plant bacterial diseases Plant diseases caused by bacterial pathogens. There are many genera of pathogenic bacteria, including Pseudomonas, Xanthomonas, Erwinia, Actinomyces, etc. The main objects are listed in the table.
 Pseudomonas |
 Xanthomonas |
| There are 191 species of Pseudomonas, and this genus of microorganisms has extremely rich metabolic diversity. It can be roughly divided into animal pathogens and plant pathogens. Pseudomonas syringae is one of the phytopathogens with more than 50 pathogenic species. | Xanthomonas are almost all plant pathogens. They can infect at least 124 monocotyledonous species and 268 dicotyledonous species. Sugarcane leaf scalds disease caused by Xanthomonas albilineans infection of sugarcane is one of the most important bacterial diseases of sugarcane. |
 Erwinia |
 Streptomyces |
| Erwinia is a bacterium that closely resembles Escherichia coli. They can cause plant necrosis, ulcers, wilting, leaf spot, runny gum and soft rot. For example, Erwinia amylovora can cause Fire blight and Erwinia stewartii can cause corn blight. | Streptomyces are the most advanced actinomycetes and they are the main force in antibiotic production. Most of them are mild and a few can be pathogenic to plants. For example, Streptomyces scabies can cause potato scab. |
Pathogenic Bacteria Screening Services
Agricultural economic benefits and food security are important guarantees for a happy life. For the control of plant pathogens, although chemical control is quick, it is easy to cause environmental pollution. Therefore, more environmentally friendly and effective methods are needed to deal with the infection of plant pathogens. CD BioSciences provide MicroScanTM platform for pathogenic bacteria screening services, which allows large-scale screening of pathogen-inhibiting bacteria. These specific strains may be used as biocontrol or producers of unique antimicrobial drugs. Compared with traditional technology, the new technology platform can save more manpower and material resources.
