“…The AMA3 isolate of B. xylophilus was extracted from Pinus thunbergii in Ma'anshan, Anhui Province. AMA3 was provided by Nanjing Forestry University and extracted using the Baermann funnel method [20]. It is now stored in the resource bank of pine Nematoda isolates of Nanjing Forestry University.…”

In order to explore the changes in the fatty acid metabolism of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus under the treatment of Bacillus cereus NJSZ-13, the surface changes in lipid droplets were observed under a Zeiss microscope after the B. xylophilus was stained with modified Oil Red O. The triglyceride (TG) content in B. xylophilus was determined according to the TG kit instructions. The type and content of fatty acids in B. xylophilus were detected by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS); the stearyl coenzyme A of B. xylophilus was analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The change in Bx-SCD (gene regulating stearyl CoA desaturase in B. xylophilus) expression was observed. The results showed that the lipid droplets of B. xylophilus treated with NJSZ-13 were broken to varying degrees, and the TGs in B. xylophilus decreased continuously. The total fatty acid content in the bodies of treated B. xylophilus decreased: the difference between the fermentation broth treatment and the control was extremely significant (p < 0.01); that between the fermentation filtrate and the control was significant (p < 0.05); and that between the bacterial suspension and the control was not significant (p > 0.05). Saturated fatty acids decreased in all treatments, but not significantly. Compared with the control group, the unsaturated fatty acid content in fermentation broth and fermentation filtrate treatments was extremely significantly reduced, and the unsaturated fatty acid content of the bacterial suspension group was significantly decreased, which indicated that NJSZ-13 mainly caused a decrease in the unsaturated fatty acids in B. xylophilus. The trend in changes in monounsaturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids was the same, but for polyunsaturated fatty acids, the fermentation broth and fermentation filtrate treatments caused a significant decrease in content, but the bacterial suspension resulted in no significant change. The results showed that NJSZ-13 mainly caused a decrease in monounsaturated fatty acid content in B. xylophilus. In addition, the contents of C16:1, C18:1, and C18:2 fatty acids were significantly decreased after treatment with strain NJSZ-13 for 48 h, and the contents of C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, and C20:4 were extremely significantly decreased after the fermentation broth and filtrate treatments. The expression of Bx-SCD in B. xylophilus was significantly lower than that of the control (p < 0.0001). This study analyzed the changes in the content of related substances and relative gene expression in fatty acid metabolism of B. xylophilus treated with strain NJSZ-13, and preliminarily reveals the nematicidal mechanism of strain NJSZ-13 against B. xylophilus. This provides a theoretical basis for further exploration of the key cause of death induced by this strain in B. xylophilus.
