“…The TTSS is the main virulence determinant of several pathogenic bacteria, such as Shigella, Salmonella, Chlamydia, Yersinia, Escherichia and Pseudomonas, and this system mediates a transport process through the cytoplasmic membrane in which bacteria introduce bacterial cytosol proteins into the host cell able to cause pathogenicity and virulence, which leads to bacterial infections (C. Wang et al, 2016). In other words, it works like a syringe that injects these proteins, generating infections (Thakur et al, 2021). Regarding to Quorum Sensing (QS), this is a process of communication between bacterial cells that occurs based on generation and identification of signaling molecules and on group-level response .…”

The impact of phytopathogenic microorganisms in several crops causes significant losses in agrifood industry, spoilage throughout food chain and storage. Nanoparticles and plant extracts have been highlighted by their antimicrobial properties applied in food packaging, agriculture, drug delivery systems and other medical approaches. Over the past few years, this group have studied the application of ZnO nanoparticles and agroindustrial wastes in edible food coatings/films. This study aimed to evaluate active characteristics from the extract of seriguela processing wastes and nanoZnO regarding to their inhibitory activity against bacterial pathogenicity and virulence systems TTSS (Type Three Secretion System) and QS (Quorum Sensing) for Pseudomonas savastanoi. Also, antibacterial action (inhibition area) against species of Curtobacterium, Clavibacter, E. coli, Xanthomonas and Serratia, and antifungal against Botrytis cinerea (reduction in colony size). The 60% extract inhibited the activation of QS and TTSS system in 20.26% and 13.54%, respectively; while nanoZnO at 3% reduced 46.77% QS and increased 302.88% TTSS. Extract without dilution inhibited the growth of Clavibacter michiganensis pv michiganensis (Gram-positive) and Xanthomonas phaseoli (Gram-negative), inhibitory zone of 94.25 mm2 and 452.39 mm2 respectively. The latter also being inhibited by nanoZnO 1 and 2% (138.23 mm2) and 3% (275.67 mm2). Pure extract inhibited 17.38% growth of fungal colony and nanoZnO (1 and 3%) in 33.08%. Finally, the active agents studied showed to be promising in the prevention of phytopathogenic diseases and consequently economic losses, food films/coatings and the extract as a biopesticide, reducing the environmental impact.
