Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Phages enhance both phytopathogen density control and rhizosphere microbiome suppressiveness

mBio
Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically target plant pathogenic bacteria, have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional agrochemicals. However, it remains unclear how phages should be applied to achieve efficient pathogen biocontrol and to ...

Interactions with native microbial keystone taxa enhance the biocontrol efficiency of Streptomyces

Microbiome
Background Streptomyces spp. are known for producing bioactive compounds that suppress phytopathogens. However, previous studies have largely focused on their direct interactions with pathogens and plants, often neglecting their interactions with the ...
