Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Methylobacterium was found in healthy and infected olive trees with variable isolation frequencies.
- Observation Isolates were classified as M. mesophilicum at 30%.
- Observation Phylogenetic analysis found limited genetic variation and clustering with reference strains.
- Intervention effect At up to 2%, Methylobacterium supernatants stimulated Xfp growth in vitro.
- Intervention effect At 20% and 50%, Methylobacterium supernatants inhibited Xfp growth in vitro.
- Observation Selected M. radiotolerans strains produced siderophores.
- Observation Selected M. mesophilicum strains produced siderophores.
- Observation Ferrioxamine E and ferrichrome were identified in all Methylobacterium strains, with highest levels in M. organophilum and M. aminovorans.
- Observation Deferoxamine was absent from Methylobacterium strains.
- Observation Xfp showed elevated production of ferrioxamine E, deferoxamine, and ferrichrome.
- Mechanism The authors suggest Methylobacterium could compete with Xfp through siderophore-mediated mechanisms.
- Mechanism The authors suggest ferrioxamine E and ferrichrome may modulate iron availability in vivo and reduce Xfp growth and virulence.
- Recommendation The authors propose developing Methylobacterium as biocontrol agents for Xfp in olive production.
