Here, we reported a novel secreted protein elicitor PeBL2 from Brevibacillus laterosporus A60, which can induce hypersensitive response in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana). The ion-exchange chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry were performed for identification of protein elicitor. The 471 bp PeBL2 gene produces a 17.22 kDa protein with 156 amino acids containing an 84-residue signal peptide. Consistent with endogenous protein, the recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli induced the typical hypersensitive response (HR) and necrosis in tobacco leaves. Additionally, PeBL2 also triggered early defensive response of generation of reactive oxygen species ($H_2O_2$ and $O_2{^-}$) and systemic resistance against of B. cinerea. Our findings shed new light on a novel strategy for biocontrol using B. laterosporus A60.

The insect gut microbiome is known to have important roles in host growth, development, digestion, and resistance against pathogens. In addition, the genetic diversity of the insect gut microbiota has recently been recognized as potential genetic resources for industrial bioprocessing. However, there is limited information regarding the insect gut microbiota to better help us understand their potential benefits for enhanced pig production. With the development of next-generation sequencing methods, whole genome sequence analysis has become possible beyond traditional culture-independent methods. This improvement makes it possible to identify and characterize bacteria that are not cultured and located in various environments including the gastrointestinal tract. Insect intestinal microorganisms are known to have an important role in host growth, digestion, and immunity. These gut microbiota have recently been recognized as potential genetic resources for livestock farming which is using the functions of living organisms to integrate them into animal science. The purpose of this literature review is to emphasize the necessity of research on insect gut microbiota and their applicability to pig production or bioindustry. In conclusion, bacterial metabolism of feed in the gut is often significant for the nutrition intake of animals, and the insect gut microbiome has potential to be used as feed additives for enhanced pig performance. The exploration of the structure and function of the insect gut microbiota needs further investigation for their potential use in the swine industry particularly for the improvement of growth performance and overall health status of pigs.

Knowledge about the gut bacterial communities associated with insects is essential to understand their roles in the physiology of the host. In the present study, the gut bacterial communities of a laboratory-reared insecticide-susceptible (IS), and a field-collected insecticide-resistant (IR) population of a major rice pest, the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens, were evaluated. The deep-sequencing analysis of the V3 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was performed using Illumina and the sequence data were processed using QIIME. The toxicological bioassays showed that compared with the IS population, IR population exhibited 7.9-, 6.7-, 14.8-, and 18.7-fold resistance to acephate, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and buprofezin, respectively. The analysis of the alpha diversity indicated a higher bacterial diversity and richness associated with the IR population. The dominant phylum in the IS population was Proteobacteria (99.86%), whereas the IR population consisted of Firmicutes (46.06%), followed by Bacteroidetes (30.8%) and Proteobacteria (15.49%). Morganella, Weissella, and Enterococcus were among the genera shared between the two populations and might form the core bacteria associated with N. lugens. The taxonomic-to-phenotypic mapping revealed the presence of ammonia oxidizers, nitrogen fixers, sulfur oxidizers and reducers, xylan degraders, and aromatic hydrocarbon degraders in the metagenome of N. lugens. Interestingly, the IR population was found to be enriched with bacteria involved in detoxification functions. The results obtained in this study provide a basis for future studies elucidating the roles of the gut bacteria in the insecticide resistance-associated symbiotic relationship and on the design of novel strategies for the management of N. lugens.

Tilletia laevis Kuhn (syn. Tilletia foetida (Wallr.) Liro.) causes wheat common bunt, which is one of the most devastating plant diseases in the world. Common bunt can result in a reduction of 80% or even a total loss of wheat production. In this study, the characteristics of T. laevis infection in compatible wheat plants were defined based on the combination of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and laser scanning confocal microscopy. We found T. laevis could lead to the abnormal growth of wheat tissues and cells, such as leakage of chloroplasts, deformities, disordered arrangements of mesophyll cells and also thickening of the cell wall of mesophyll cells in leaf tissue. What's more, T. laevis teliospores were found in the roots, stems, flag leaves, and glumes of infected wheat plants instead of just in the ovaries, as previously reported. The abnormal characteristics caused by T. laevis may be used for early detection of this pathogen instead of molecular markers in addition to providing theoretical insights into T. laevis and wheat interactions for breeding of common bunt resistance.

현재 우리나라에서 비닐하우스의 주요 해충으로는 총채벌레(Thrips palmi and Frankliniela occidentalis), 점박이응애(Tetranychus urticae), 목화진딧물(Aphis gossypii), 온실가루이(Trialeurodes vaporariorum) 등을 들 수 있다. 위 해충들의 방제 약제에 대한 감수성을 조사한 결과, 오이총채벌레에 대해 2000년에는 방제약제가 좋은 효과를 보였으나, 2003년에는 감수성이 모두 떨어져, 앞으로 이 해충의 방제에 어려움이 있을 것으로 예상된다. 꽃노랑총채벌레는 neonicotinoid계통인 imidacloprid 와 thiamethoxam에 대해서는 저항성을 보이고 있으나 chlorfenapyr, spinosad, emamectinbenzoate, fipronil 등에 대해서는 높은 감수성을 유치하고 있었다. 점박이응애는 기존약제에 대해서는 높은 저항성을 보이나, 비교적 최근 약제인 abamectin, milbemectin, chlorfenapyr에 대해서는 높은 감수성을 보였다. 목화진딧물은 지역에 따라 감수성 계통에 비교하면 10배 정도의 감수성 저하를 보이고 있으나, 추천 농도와 비교하면 매우 낮아 방제 시 문제점은 없을 것으로 생각된다. 온실가루이는 기존 약제에 속하는 유기인계, carbamate계, pyrethroid계 살충제에 대해서는 저항성을 보이고 있으나, imidacloprid, spinosad, pymetrozine에 대해서는 높은 감수성을 유지하고 있었다.

S. cerevisiae에서 glucoamylase 유전자의 promoter와 signal sequence 그리고 MF$\alpha$1의 prosequence를 이용하여 합성 곤충 defensin를 발현하고 항균활성을 보유한 형태로 분비하는데 성공하였다. Defensin의 여러 생화학적인 특성을 조사한 결과 열 안정성이 높아 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 가열하여도 항균활성을 온전히 유지하였으며 조사한 pH 영역, 2.0-12.0에서 항균활성의 변화가 없었다. 또한 여러 단백질 분해효소를 처리하면 항균활성이 완전히 사라졌으나 전분질 분해효소, 섬유소분해효소 및 지질분해효소의 처리는 항균 활성에 전혀 영향이 없었다. 황산암모늄침전, SP-Sepharose column cormatography, RP-HPLC 등의 조작을 통해 defensin을 순수한 형태로 정제하였으며 Tricine-SDS-PAGE를 통해 분자량이 약 4.0 kDa임을 확인하였고 정제한 defensin은 항균활성을 보유하였다.

The electronic industries require environmentally-friendly and highly functional materials to enhance the quality of human life. Home appliances require insect repellent steels that work to protect household microwave ovens from incurring damage by insects such as fire ants and cockroaches in tropical regions. Thus, POSCO has developed new types of functional steels, coated with an array of organic-inorganic hybrid composites on the steel surface, to cover panels in microwave ovens and refrigerators. The composite solution uses a fine dispersion of hybrid solution with polymeric resin, inorganic and a pyrethroid additive in aqueous media. The hybrid composite solution coats the steel surface, by using a roll coater and is cured using an induction curing furnace on both the continuous galvanizing line and the electro-galvanizing line. The new steels were evaluated for quality performances, salt spray test for corrosion resistance and biological performance for both insect repellent and antimicrobial activity. The new steels with organic-inorganic composite coating exhibit extraordinarily biological functionalities, for both insect repellent and antimicrobial activities for short and long term tests. The composite-coating solution and experimental results are discussed and suggest that the molecular level dispersion of insecticide on the coating layer is key to biological functional performances.
