- W4308645596 abstract "ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens in the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) infect the water-transporting xylem vessels of plants, causing bacterial wilt disease. Strains in RSSC phylotypes I and III can reduce nitrate to dinitrogen via complete denitrification. The four-step denitrification pathway enables bacteria to use inorganic nitrogen species as terminal electron acceptors, supporting their growth in oxygen-limited environments like biofilms or plant xylem. Reduction of nitrate, nitrite, and nitric oxide all contribute to virulence of a model phylotype I strain. However, little is known about the physiological role of the last denitrification step, the reduction of nitrous oxide to dinitrogen by NosZ. We found that phylotypes I and III need NosZ for full virulence. However, strains in phylotypes II and IV are highly virulent despite lacking NosZ. The ability to respire by reducing nitrate to nitrous oxide does not greatly enhance growth of phylotype II and IV strains. These partial denitrifying strains reach high cell densities during plant infection and cause typical wilt disease. However, unlike phylotype I and III strains, partial denitrifiers cannot grow well under anaerobic conditions or form thick biofilms in culture or in tomato xylem vessels. Furthermore, aerotaxis assays show that strains from different phylotypes have different oxygen and nitrate preferences. Together, these results indicate that the RSSC contains two subgroups that occupy the same habitat but have evolved divergent energy metabolism strategies to exploit distinct metabolic niches in the xylem. IMPORTANCE Plant pathogenic Ralstonia spp . are a heterogeneous globally distributed group of bacteria that colonize plant xylem vessels. Ralstonia cells multiply rapidly in plants and obstruct water transport, causing fatal wilting and serious economic losses of many key food security crops. Virulence of these pathogens depends on their ability to grow to high cell densities in the low-oxygen xylem environment. Plant pathogenic Ralstonia can use denitrifying respiration to generate ATP. The last denitrification step, nitrous oxide reduction by NosZ, contributes to energy production and virulence for only one of the three phytopathogenic Ralstonia species. These complete denitrifiers form thicker biofilms in culture and in tomato xylem, suggesting they are better adapted to hypoxic niches. Strains with partial denitrification physiology form less biofilm and are more often planktonic. They are nonetheless highly virulent. Thus, these closely related bacteria have adapted their core metabolic functions to exploit distinct micro-niches in the same habitat." @default.
