The ability of Pseudomonas sp. LBUM 223 to produce phenazine-1-carboxylic acid affects the growth of Streptomyces scabies, the expression of thaxtomin biosynthesis genes and the biological control potential against common scab of potato
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Streptomyces scabies causes common scab, an economical disease affecting potato crops world-wide, for which no effective control measure exists. This pathogen produces the plant toxin thaxtomin A, which is involved in symptom development on potato tubers. A biological control approach that can limit S. scabies growth and repress thaxtomin production represents an attractive alternative to classical control strategies. Pseudomonas sp. LBUM 223 produces phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), an antibiotic that inhibits the growth of plant pathogens and contributes to the biological control of plant diseases. In this study, the involvement of LBUM 223's PCA-producing ability in the growth inhibition of S. scabies, repression of thaxtomin biosynthesis genes (txtA and txtC) and the biological control of common scab of potato was investigated using a mutant defective in PCA production (LBUM 223phzC(-) ). Streptomyces scabies growth was inhibited to a significantly lesser degree by LBUM 223phzC(-) than by the wild type. LBUM 223 also significantly repressed txtA and txtC expression in S. scabies and protected potato against disease, whereas LBUM 223phzC(-) did not. These results suggest that PCA production is central to the ability of LBUM 223 to limit pathogen growth, repress the expression of key pathogenicity genes and control common scab of potato.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
