Transcript: Plants shape their rhizospheric microbiome by secreting root exudates ex. organic nutrients- sugar, vitamins etc. Microbes in return also provide several benefits to plants – growth promotion and stress relief Plant recruitment of beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere References Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is an appropriate and suitable form of resistance which increases the level of resistance of host plants for a few months after pathogen challenge Following onset of pathogen infection, defense responses start at the place of infection and systemic response is activated in the entire plant to defend the uninjured tissues and restricts further infection Induction of systemic resistance (ISR) by single microbial strains is well demonstrated. However, the use of microbes in consortia for exploiting the ISR phenomenon is not explored to the desired extent so that it is effective against a large number of pathogens Most of the microbes capable of inducing ISR in host plants also possess antagonistic activities, nutrient mobilization activities, and many of those are superior rhizosphere colonizers. More emphasis should be given to develop microbial consortia having enhanced capability of inducing ISR activities in plants. Understanding the plant recruited microbial communities has become even more significant so that similar benefits could be provided to crop plants through artificially developed microbial consortia. Microbial consortium Activation of antioxidant mechanism ISR mediated host defense has attracted much attention in recent times as the ISR inducers can protect plants from pathogens even in the distant parts of the plants. ISR is generally modulated by interconnected cascades of signal transduction in which polyphenols act as a sounding alarm and results in obstructing pathogen development. Phenolics are produced when plant pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) distinguish pathogens from the non-pathogens by recognizing the conserved pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) resulting in activation of the phenylpropanoid pathway. Enhanced activation of the pathway leading to sudden increase in concentration of phenolics was achieved when the plants were inoculated with beneficial microbes Activation of systemically induced resistance ! Activation of phenylpropanoid pathway 1. The rationale behind selection of the microbes that were used in consortia was mostly their ability to fix atmospheric N, solubilize phosphorous in soil, produce phytohormones, and antagonistic activities against the pathogens. 2. Later on microbes capable of inducing systemic resistance These microbes are able to do their work individually! Therefore, applying microbes as a consortium has great potentiality particularly in modern agriculture where minimization of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is one of the priorities SAR Negative impact of the dual inoculation treatment was attributed to involvement of independent signaling pathways in the two microbial species. One of the major causes for such contrary results with microbial mixtures may be attributed to incompatibility of the microbes in the mixture with each other. These findings thus clearly advocate for screening of compatible microbes for development of microbial consortia. The basic objective of developing microbial consortium will fail if the microbes used in the consortium do not have any additive or synergistic effects on disease suppression.

Water stress and agriculture. Agricultural and Biological Sciences ISR Current trend is to mix biocontrol agents (BCAs) of diverse microbial species having plant growth-promoting activities to achieve desired agricultural outcomes Application of microbes in a consortium may improve efficacy, reliability and consistency of the microbes under diverse soil and environmental conditions Duffy et al. (1996) showed that Trichoderma koningii when applied with some fluorescent Pseudomonas strains suppressed the take-all pathogen of wheat greater than T. koningii alone. One of the most universal and earliest resistance reactions against invading pathogens by plants is oxidative burst, and considered to be required for plant defense. Plants regulate the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a way that the levels of ROS such as H2O2 is sensitive to the pathogen but not to the host. H2O2 further provides strength to the cell wall through helping the process of

Transcript: The presence of a flagella is thought to mediate adherence to human lung cells, thereby causing infection, since flagella-less strains do not cause disease. Once attached to human cells, the organism is engulfed by a macrophage where is used to grow it numbers. Gene clusters, or pathogenicity islands, have been found that help it chances of growing Winn, W. C., & Jr. (1996, January 01). Legionella.

Legionella is a bacteria likes to grow in water sources like stagnet water, pounds, lakes , and even cooling towers in powerplants.Legionella grows intracellurally in protazoa in biofilms. which is a slimy thin sheet of bacteria that grows on surfaces. Also they are gram negitive. Microbial Powerpoint Work cited page (n.d.).
