The pathological impact of haze upon the phyllosphere microbiota awaits investigation. A moderate degree of haze environment and a clean control were selected in Chengdu, China. Artemisia argyi, a ubiquitously distributed and extensively applied Chinese herb, was also chosen for experiment. Total genome DNA was extracted from leaf samples, and for metagenome sequencing, an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform was applied. The results showed that the gene numbers of phyllosphere microbiota derived from haze leaves were lower than those of the clean control. The phyllosphere microbiota derived from both haze and clean groups shared the same top ten phyla; the abundances of Proteobacteria, Actinomycetes and Anorthococcuso of the haze group were substantially increased, while Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes decreased. At the genus level, the abundances of Nocardia, Paracoccus, Marmoricola and Knoelia from haze leaves were markedly increased, while the yeasts were statistically decreased. KEGG retrieval demonstrated that the functional genes were most annotated to metabolism. An interesting find of this work is that the phyllosphere microbiota responsible for the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites in A. argyi were significantly increased under a haze environment. Relatively enriched genes annotated by eggNOG belong to replication, recombination and repair, and genes classified into the glycoside hydrolase and glycosyltransferase enzymes were significantly increased. In summary, we found that both structure and function of phyllosphere microbiota are globally impacted by haze, while primary and secondary metabolites responsible for haze tolerance were considerably increased. These results suggest an adaptive strategy of plants for tolerating and confronting haze damage.

Seventy-three species and five varieties belonging to 36 genera were collected from leaf surfaces of banana plants on glucose and cellulose-Czapek's agar at $28^{\circ}C$. The results obtained from leaf surfaces(phyllosphere and phylloplane) were basically similar on the two types of media and the most common fungi were Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Cochliobolus, Curvularia, Gibberella, Memnoniella, Mycosphaerella, Setosphaeria and Stachybotrys. The monthly counts of these fungi were irregularly fluctuated giving maxima at various months. Chaetomium globosum was in the top of fungi in producing both exo- and endo-$\beta$-l,4-glucanases among the 34 tested isolates obtained from leaves(phylloplane) on cellulose-Czapek's agar. Maximum production of these enzymes by C. globosum was 6 and 8 days after incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ with culture medium containing wheat bran as a carbon source and peptone as a nitrogen source and initially adjusted to pH 6.

Kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) is an economically important crop and a bacterial canker disease, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), is the most destructive disease in kiwifruit production. Therefore, prevent and control of the disease is a critical issue in kiwifruit industry worldwide. Unfortunately, there is no reliable control methods have been developed. Recently, interest in disease control using microbial agents is growing. However, kiwifruit microbiota and their roles in the disease control is mainly remaining unknown. In this study, we secured bacterial libraries from kiwifruit ecospheres (rhizosphere, endospere, and phyllosphere) and screened reliable biocontrol strains against Psa. As the results, Streptomyces racemochromogenes W1SF4, Streptomyces sp. W3SF9 and S. parvulus KPB2 were selected as anti-Psa agents from the libraries. The strains showed forcible antibacterial activity as well as exceptional colonization ability on rhizosphere or phyllosphere of kiwifruit. Genome analyses of the strains suggested that the strains may produce several anti-Psa secondary metabolites. Our results will contribute to develop biocontrol strains against the kiwifruit canker pathogen and the disease management strategies.

In order to exploit Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20 as of plant growth promoting agent, different inoculation methods have been evaluated. The present study aimed to evaluate soil, foliar, and soil+foliar inoculations of M. oryzae CBMB20 to improve the growth, fruit yield, and nutrient uptake of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under greenhouse conditions. The population range of green fluorescent protein (gfp)-tagged M. oryzae CBMB20 using the three inoculation methods was 2.5-2.9 ${\log}_{10}$ cfu/g in the rhizosphere and 4.5-6.0 ${\log}_{10}$ cfu/g in the phyllosphere of red pepper plants. Confocal laser scanning microscopy results confirmed the colonization of M. oryzae CBMB20 endophytically on leaf surface. Plant height, fruit dry weight, and total biomass were significantly higher ($p{\leq}0.05$) in all M. oryzae CBMB20 inoculation methods as compared to non-inoculated control. Furthermore, uptake of mineral nutrients such as N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in red pepper plants in all M. oryzae CBMB20 inoculation methods was higher than in non-inoculated control. Comparative results of inoculation methods clearly demonstrated that soil+foliar inoculation of M. oryzae CBMB20 lead to the highest biomass accumulation and nutrient uptake which may be due to its efficient colonization in the red pepper rhizosphere and phyllosphere.

Previous studies have addressed the management of phyllosphere pathogens by leaf and root-associated microbes. The present study evaluated the effect of the foliar application of three strains of Bacillus spp. on plant growth and fruit quality. The application of a bacilli spore preparation significantly improved leaf growth parameters such as leaf thickness and photosynthesis capacity, indicating that bacilli treatment directly promoted leaf growth. In addition, foliar treatment resulted in an improvement in the key indicators of fruit quality including water, glucose, and sucrose contents. The present results suggest that foliar spraying of beneficial bacilli is a potential treatment of wide application for the improvement of apple quality. Foliar application of bacilli preparation as effective plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria broadens the spectrum of their availability for orchard application.

점액세균은 토양에서 식물 병원균의 활성을 억제하는 2차 대사산물들을 분비하는데, 이들은 기존의 길항균들의 항생물질과는 전혀 다른 생리활성물질이므로 생물방제에 활용이 기대되는 미생물이다. 고추 역병 생물학적 방제를 위해 토양 미생물인 점액세균의 길항능력을 기내에서 검정한 후, 자실체 및 액체배양 여액을 엽권과 근권에 처리하여 온실에서 생물 검정하였다. 점액세균 생리활성 물질이 남아있는 PDCY 배지에 역병균을 접종한 결과 점액 세균 Myxococcus spp. 세 균주 중 KYC 1126과 KYC 1136은 균사생장을 완벽히 저해하였다. 토양 내 점액세균 생리활성물질 분비를 극대화하기 위해 기내에서 다량의 자실체 형성을 위해 먹이인 E. coli를 먼저 배양 후 점액세균 KYC 1126을 치상하는 방법을 확립하였다. 이 방법으로 토양에 자실체를 먼저 투입하고 역병을 관주접종한 결과 방제 효과가 없었다. 한편 시험관에서 역병균 유주포자 현탁액과 점액세균 CYE 액체배양여액을 혼합한 후 고추 뿌리에 침지 접종한 결과 역병 발병을 지연시켜 배양여액의 길항능력을 확인하였다. 점액세균 배양여액을 엽권에 살포하거나 근권에 침지한 방제가는 각각 88%와 40%로서 dimethomorph+propineb의 100%와 propamocarb의 44%에 버금가는 결과였다. 배양여액을 기존 처리의 약 2배인 24시간 이상 뿌리에 침지하면 약해가 발생하였는데, 그 증상은 고추 묘에서 줄기가 잘록해지고 잎이 말려 들어가며 점액성의 물질이 뿌리를 덮어 썩는 것이었다. 선발된 점액세균 KYC 1126의 대량 생산 방안이 확보되면, 배양여액을 엽권에 예방적으로 정기 살포함으로써 고추 역병의 생물학적 방제를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

깨끗한 대기가 유지되는 청정지역 및 산성강하물의 영향을 받는 공단지역에서 자라는 떡갈나무(Quercus dentate Thunb.) 잎표면에서 분리한 내산성세균 배양으로부터 16S rDNA를 추출하여 모두 444개의 clone을 얻었으며, 이를 대상으로 Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)을 실시한 결과 총 17종류의 계통형 (phylotype)이 나타났다. 두 지역에서 나타난 대표적인 내산성 잎권세균 군집은 매우 단순하여 ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria와 low-G+C gram-positive bacteria의 2개 group이었다. 식물 잎의 나이가 들수록 내산성 잎권세균 계통형의 다양성은 현저하게 증가하였다. 내산성 잎권세균 군집 구조는 $\gamma$-Proteobacteria에 속하는 Pseudomonas group과 Enterobacteriaceae, 그리고 low-G+C gram-positive bacteria 즉 Bacillus/Clostridium group에 속하는 Streptococcaceae와 Staphylococcus group이 우점하였다. 산성강하물에 따른 내산성 잎권세균 군집 구조의 변화는 상위 계통분류군(subphylum 수준)에서는 뚜렷이 볼 수 없었지만 보다 하위분류군에서 볼 때 $\gamma$-Proteobacteria의 Xanthomonadales group은 공단지역에서만, 그리고 $\alpha$-Proteobacteria의 Acetobacteraceae는 청정지역에서만 각각 검출되었으므로 이들 세균집단을 산성강서만, 그리고 $\alpha$-Proteobacteria의 Acetobacteraceae는 청정지역에서만 각각 검출되었으므로 이들 세균집단을 산성강 하물에 대한 지표세균으로서 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 남겨 놓았다.
