Streptomyces scabiei

The first known reference to common scab of potatoes, dates back to 1825, but it was not initially thought to have a biological cause.{{Cite journal | last1 = Millard | first1 = W.

The original culture was not maintained.{{Cite journal | last1 = Lambert | first1 = D. H. | last2 = Loria | first2 = R. | last3 = Labeda | first3 = D. P. | last4 = Saddler | first4 = G.

Most species of Streptomyces are saprotrophic feeding off dead matter with relatively few causing disease. In 1948 Waksman and Henrici used the name Streptomyces scabies to describe the species and this name was revived in 1989 by Lambert and Loria, who bought together 12 different strains that formed one homogeneous group. In 1997 the name was changed to Streptomyces scabiei following a grammatical convention as set out in Rule 12c of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria.{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1099/00207713-47-3-908| last1 = Truper | first1 = H.

In 1979 Elesawy and Szabo proposed it be assigned to the Diastatochromogenes cluster along with S. neyagawaensis, S. bottropensis, S. diastatochromogenes, S. eurythermus and S. griseosporeus, which was later confirmed by other authors based on morphological and genetic analyses.{{Cite journal | last1 = Bukhalid | first1 = R.

At least four other species of Streptomyces also cause diseases on potato tubers. The most widespread species other than S. scabiei are S. turgidiscabies and S. acidiscabies, which can be distinguished based on their morphology, the way they utilise food sources and their 16S RNA sequences. Unlike S. scabiei, S. acidiscabies is predominantly seed-borne rather than soil-borne and be suppressed using insecticides and nematicides, suggesting that microfauna play a role in its transmission.{{Cite journal | last1 = Lambert | first1 = D.

They differ from S. scabiei by having spores that are of different colours.{{Cite journal | last1 = Park | first1 = D.

There are also other species of Streptomyces found in scab lesions on potato tubers that do not cause disease. 16 distinct strains have been isolated from tubers and based on a genetic analysis of them, they are most similar to S. griseoruber, S. violaceusniger, S. albidoflavus and S. atroolivaceus.{{Cite journal | last1 = Doumbou | first1 = C. | last2 = Akimov | first2 = V. | last3 = Côté | first3 = M. | last4 = Charest | first4 = P. | last5 = Beaulieu | first5 = C. | title = Taxonomic Study on Nonpathogenic Streptomycetes Isolated from Common Scab Lesions on Potato Tubers | doi = 10.1078/0723-2020-00051 | journal = Systematic and Applied Microbiology | volume = 24 | issue = 3 | pages = 451–6 | year = 2001 | pmid = 11822683| bibcode = 2001SyApM..24..451D }}

Streptomyces scabiei is a streptomycete bacteria which means it forms a mycelium made of hyphae, a growth form more usually associated with fungi. The hyphae of Streptomyces, are much smaller than those of fungi (0.5–2.0 μm) and form a heavily branched mycelium. They are Gram-positive and have a high proportion of the DNA bases guanine and cytosine{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1016/S0885-5765(03)00041-9| last1 = Loria | first1 = R. | last2 = Coombs | first2 = J. | last3 = Yoshida | first3 = M. | last4 = Kers | first4 = J. | last5 = Bukhalid | first5 = R. | title = A paucity of bacterial root diseases: Streptomyces succeeds where others fail | journal = Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology | volume = 62 | issue = 2 | pages = 65–72| year = 2003| bibcode = 2003PMPP...62...65L }} (71%) in their genome.{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1099/00207713-39-4-387| last1 = Lambert | first1 = D.

All Streptomyces genomes sequenced so far are relatively large for bacteria, but the genome of S. scabiei is the largest.{{cite book|author=Paul Dyson|title=Streptomyces: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3z9_QwFumi8C|access-date=16 January 2012|date=1 January 2011|page=15|publisher=Horizon Scientific Press|isbn=978-1-904455-77-6}}{{cite web|url=http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/S_scabies|title=Streptomyces scabies|publisher=Sanger Institute|access-date=2001-02-26}} When cultured on agar the hyphae develop aerial fragments which bear chains of spores, giving the culture a fuzzy appearance. The chains of spores have the appearance of corkscrews and are grey in colour. These chains allow it to be differentiated from other species that are virulent on potatoes. Each chain contains 20 or more spores that are 0.5 by 0.9–1.0 μm, smooth and grey. Bacteria are often distinguished by their ability to grow on media containing different substances, which they either feed on or that inhibit their growth. Defining characteristics of strains of S. scabiei are that they grow on the sugar raffinose, are unable to degrade xanthine and when grown on media containing the amino acid tyrosine, they produce the pigment melanin, the same chemical that gives humans their skin colour. This trait is often associated with their ability to cause disease, but it is not always present and is considered a secondary trait. They are killed by 10 IU of the antibiotic penicillin G per ml, 25 μg of oleandomycin per ml, 20 μg of streptomycin per ml, 10 μg of thallous acetate per ml, 0.5 μg of crystal violet per ml, and 1,000 μg of phenol per ml. The lowest pH at which they will grow varies slightly between strains but is between 4 and 5.5.

When it infects crops it causes corky lesions to form in the tuber or tap root. The lesions are typically brown, with a diameter of several millimetres but the size and colour can vary depending on environmental conditions. The disease does not affect the yield nor make the tubers inedible, but decreases the quality of the crop, which lessens their value or even makes them unmarketable.{{Cite journal | last1 = Lerat | first1 = S. | last2 = Simao-Beaunoir | first2 = A.

There are other microbes that cause similar damage to potato crops to S. scabiei. In the UK the most common are the powdery scab caused by the protist Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea and silver scurf and black dot caused by the fungi Helminthosporium solani and Colletotrichum coccodes respectively.{{cite report|first1=D.W. |last1=Cullen |first2=K.S. |last2=Bell|title=Diagnostics for skin blemish pathogens of potato|publisher=Scottish Crop Protection Institute |date=1999 |url=http://www.scri.ac.uk/scri/file/individualreports/1999/24BLEMIS.PDF}} Netted scab is thought to be caused by other species including S. reticuliscabiei.{{cite web|url=http://www.potato.org.uk/sites/default/files/%5Bcurrent-page%3Aarg%3A%3F%5D/R248%20Common%20Scab%20Review%202004_0.pdf |title=Non-water control measures for potato common scab|publisher=UK Potato Council|author=David Stead|date=November 2004|access-date=2011-06-22}}

The main route by which S. scabiei is thought to enter into potato tubers is through the lenticels - pores for gas exchange in the skin of potatoes. Other evidence suggests that they are also able to directly penetrate the skin of the potato causing infection.{{Cite journal | last1 = Tegg | first1 = Robert S. | last2 = Gill | first2 = Warwick M. | last3 = Thompson | first3 = Hannah K. | last4 = Davies | first4 = Noel W. | last5 = Ross | first5 = John J. | last6 = Wilson | first6 = Calum R. | doi = 10.1094/PDIS-92-9-1321 | title = Auxin-Induced Resistance to Common Scab Disease of Potato Linked to Inhibition of Thaxtomin a Toxicity | journal = Plant Disease | volume = 92 | issue = 9 | pages = 1321–1328 | year = 2008 | pmid = 30769443| url = https://eprints.utas.edu.au/12560/1/Tegg_et_al_2008.pdf | doi-access = free }}

Five toxins have been isolated from S. scabiei that induce the formation of scabs on potato tubers.

The first two to be isolated in 1989 were thaxtomin A and thaxtomin B, of which thaxtomin A was the predominant compound.

The toxins are only produced once the bacteria have colonised a potato tuber and it is thought they detect potatoes by sensing certain molecules present in their cell walls. Cellobiose, a subunit of cellulose, activates thaxtomin production in some strains, but suberin also acts as an activator, causing many changes to the proteome of the bacteria after it is detected.

The target of the toxins is unknown but there is evidence that they inhibit the growth of plant cell walls. They are neither organ or plant specific and if added to the leaves of various species cause them to die,{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1007/s00299-009-0792-1 | last1 = Lerat | first1 = S. | last2 = Babana | first2 = A.

Adding thaxtomin A to seedlings or suspended plant cell cultures causes them to increase in volume and onion root tips treated with it are unable to form cell plates suggesting that it affects the synthesis of cellulose. Inhibiting the production of cell walls may aid S. scabiei in penetrating plant cells, a key step in infection. The fact that scabs only form in regions of rapidly growing tissue is consistent with this hypothesis.

As well as genes that produce toxins, other genes have been identified which help S. scabiei to infect plants. A tomatinase enzyme, encoded by tomA which can degrade the antimicrobial saponin α–tomatine. The aerial growth of mutants lacking the gene is inhibited, but the mycelium is able to continue to grow.{{Cite journal | last1 = Seipke | first1 = R.

It is not clear how it leads to disease, but it may suppress the defense mechanisms that thaxtomin activates.{{Cite journal | last1 = Joshi | first1 = M. | last2 = Rong | first2 = X. | last3 = Moll | first3 = S. | last4 = Kers | first4 = J. | last5 = Franco | first5 = C. | last6 = Loria | first6 = R. | title = Streptomyces turgidiscabiesSecretes a Novel Virulence Protein, Nec1, Which Facilitates Infection | journal = Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions | volume = 20 | issue = 6 | pages = 599–608 | year = 2007 | pmid = 17555268 | doi = 10.1094/MPMI-20-6-0599| doi-access = free }} Another gene cluster in the 87.22 strain is very similar to a cluster found in the Gram negative plant pathogens Pseudomonas syringae and Pectobacterium atrosepticum.

In 2007 the transcriptional regulator txtR was identified which is a member of the AraC/XylS protein family. The protein detects cellobiose and then causes changes in gene expression of the genes required for thaxtomin production, as well as the production of txtR. When txtR is silenced in the 87.22 strain, the expression of txtA, txtB and txtC decreases 40 fold resulting in a dramatic decrease in thaxtomin A production. TxtR is not the universal regulator of pathogenicity however as some nec1 and tomA are not affected by silencing it. It is thought that S. scabiei cannot degrade cellulose itself and that instead it detects cellobiose that leaks through plant cell walls at areas where the roots are actively growing.

The twin-arginine translocation pathway is an important pathway involved in virulence, which transports proteins through the cell membrane of the bacteria. Over 100 different proteins are thought to be transported by the pathway, some of which are required for virulence, but others just for normal growth.

Very little is known about the defense mechanisms that plants use against actinobacteria such as S. scabiei. When the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana is challenged by S. scabiei or thaxtomin A it produces the antimicrobial phytoalexin called scopoletin, which is known to accumulate in tobacco when it is infected by pathogens. This leads to the bacteria growing more slowly and producing less thaxtomin A, thought to be linked to the repression of the nitric oxide synthase gene involved in its synthesis. Scopoletin has been detected in diseased potato tubers, but its role in the defense against S. scabiei is unknown. Other defense mechanisms have also been noted in A. thaliana to thaxtomin A, including the initiation of programmed cell death, an efflux of hydrogen ions and an influx of calcium ions.

Streptomyces scabiei can infect many plants, but is most commonly encountered causing disease on tuber and tap root crops. It causes common scab on potato (Solanum tuberosum), beet (Beta vulgaris), carrot (Daucus carota), parsnip (Pastinaca sativa), radish (Raphanus sativus), rutabaga (Brassica napobrassica) and turnip (Brassica rapa). It also inhibits the growth of the seedlings of both monocot and dicot plants. Potato varieties differ in their susceptibility to S. scabiei. More resistant varieties tending to have fewer, tougher lenticels and a thicker skin, although authors do not agree on the specific characteristics required for resistance.
