“…The caterpillar D. saccharalis provides an ideal environment for both F. verticillioides and C. falcatum and, once present in field crops, kills the plant tissue cells through the action of its digestive system and deposits the dead material in its path left in the stem, favoring the occupation of these pathogens (Tokeshi, 1997;Matsuoka, 2013). There is no evidence of the presence of F. verticillioides in sugarcane fields where the pest D. saccharalis is not also present in Brazil; however, C. falcatum has been reported in the absence of the insect in other countries, such as India, Australia, Thailand, Fiji, and the United States (Singh, 1998;Singh et al, 2010;Gallan, 2019;Da Silva et al, 2021).…”

“…These three-part systems can continue to develop as more layers of multitrophism are added. For instance, the main control management strategy employed for F. verticillioides and C. falcatum rot is control of the borer D. saccharalis (Franco et al, 2014;Da Silva et al, 2021). Notably, biocontrol strategies such as the use of Cotesia flavipes to parasitize borer caterpillars represent a good alternative to the application of agrochemical substances (Molnár et al, 2016;Parra and Coelho, 2022).…”

“…Recently, it was shown that sugarcane plants infected with F. verticillioides subjected to D. saccharalis attack release fewer VOCs that are attractive to C. flavipes, highlighting an indirect benefit of this interaction, even though the fungus seems to impair larval weight gain (Peñaflor and Bento, 2019;Franco et al, 2021). This weight reduction is hypothesized to be due to the production of toxins such as fumonisins that can also affect larval biology (Peñaflor and Bento, 2019); however, recent studies point to a possible new level of interaction, in which yeast and bacteria from the D. saccharalis microbiome seem to compete with F. verticillioides and C. falcatum and inhibit their growth under laboratory conditions (Da Silva et al, 2021).…”

Sugarcane multitrophic interactions: Integrating belowground and aboveground organisms

Sugarcane is a crop of major importance used mainly for sugar and biofuel production, and many additional applications of its byproducts are being developed. Sugarcane cultivation is plagued by many insect pests and pathogens that reduce sugarcane yields overall. Recently emerging studies have shown complex multitrophic interactions in cultivated areas, such as the induction of sugarcane defense-related proteins by insect herbivory that function against fungal pathogens that commonly appear after mechanical damage. Fungi and viruses infecting sugarcane also modulate insect behavior, for example, by causing changes in volatile compounds responsible for insect attraction or repelling natural vector enemies via a mechanism that increases pathogen dissemination from infected plants to healthy ones. Interestingly, the fungus Fusarium verticillioides is capable of being vertically transmitted to insect offspring, ensuring its persistence in the field. Understanding multitrophic complexes is important to develop better strategies for controlling pathosystems affecting sugarcane and other important crops and highlights the importance of not only studying binary interactions but also adding as many variables as possible to effectively translate laboratory research to real-life conditions.

A country’s biodiversity is a key resource for the development of a sustainable bioeconomy. However, often the most biodiverse countries on the planet hardly profit from their biological diversity. On the contrary, occasionally components of that biodiversity become a threat to society and its food sustainability. That is the case of the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis. Here, the analysis of the bacteria associated with the digestive tract of D. saccharalis reveals a rich and diverse microbiota. Two types of diets were analyzed under laboratory conditions. The metataxonomic analysis revealed a number of taxa common to most of the larval pools analyzed with relative abundances exceeding 5%, and five families of bacteria which have also been reported in the gut of another Lepidoptera. A large fraction of microorganisms detected by amplicon sequencing were considered to be rare and difficult to cultivate. However, among the cultivable microorganisms, 12 strains with relevant biotechnological features were identified. The strain that showed the highest cellulolytic activity (GCEP-101) was genome sequenced. The analysis of the GCEP-101 complete genome revealed that the values of 16S rRNA identity, the Average Nucleotide Identity, and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization place the strain as a candidate for a new species within the genus Pseudomonas. Moreover, the genome annotation of the putative new species evidenced the presence of genes associated with cellulose degradation, revealing the hidden potential of the pest as a reservoir of biotechnologically relevant microorganisms.

Methyl red, a synthetic azo dye, was reported for not only being mutagenic but also its persistence has severe consequences on human health, such as cancer, alongside detrimental environmental effects. In the present study, the Pseudomonas putida OsEnB_HZB_G20 strain was isolated from the soil sample to study the catalytic activity for the degradation of methyl red dye. Another isolated strain, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA 1_NCHU strain was used as an electroactive anodophile and mixed with the Pseudomonas putida OsEnB_HZB_G20 strain to see the effect of co-culturing on the power generation in single-chambered microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The Pseudomonas putida OsEnB_HZB_G20 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA 1_NCHU strains were used as co-culture inoculum in a 1:1 ratio in MFCs. This work uses isolated bacterial strains in a co-culture to treat wastewater with varying methyl red dye concentrations and anolyte pH to investigate its effect on power output in MFCs. This co-culture produced up to 7.3 W/m3 of power density with a 250 mgL−1 of dye concentration, along with 95% decolorization, indicating that the symbiotic relationship between these bacteria resulted in improved MFC performance simultaneous to dye degradation. Furthermore, the co-culture of Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a 1:1 ratio demonstrated improved power generation in MFCs at an optimized pH of 7.
