| Zusammenfassung: | The plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora is the causative agent of fire blight. One of its major virulence factors is the exopolysaccharide (EPS) capsule, which plays an important role in biofilm formation. The production of EPS leads to clogging of plant vessels and does therefore provoke disease symptoms. Although the application of streptomycin can effectively control infection, the antibiotic is banned in an increasing number of countries. Bacteriophages are a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics. For the control of Gram-negative bacteria, a phage cocktail of at least two phages targeting different phage receptors is usually applied. To identify phage receptors on the surface of E. amylovora a Tn5 transposon mutant library was screened in a high throughput. Using the N4-like phage S6 and the FelixO1-like phage M7 putative phage receptors were identified. Both, M7 and S6, were not able to lyse mutants with Tn5 insertions in the bacterial cellulose synthase operon (bcs). The Bcs-complex produces bacterial cellulose, an exopolysaccharide associated with biofilm formation. Deletion mutagenesis of the entire bcs operon and of single bcs genes, verified the importance for infection of E. amylovora with S6 and M7. Experiments with the cellulose binding dye Congo red and the finding that both phages harbour a setting of cellulases and endoglucanase further supported the interaction of S6 and M7 with cellulose. The bacteriophages might recognize different patterns either on the cellulose synthase complex, e.g. the outer membrane protein BcsC, or the cellulose cargo itself. |
