Modulation of the endophytic strain Kosakonia radicincitans UYSO10 proteome by sugarcane roots exudate

The objective of this work was to expand the knowledge about the possible mechanisms involved in the early stages of the interaction between the diazotrophic endophytic strain Kosakonia radicincitans UYSO10 and sugarcane plants. For that, a proteomic approach was conducted in the strain UYSO10 exposed or not to sugarcane exudates. Results showed that in the presence of root exudates the UYSO10 strain senses the environment and adapts its proteome to transport and metabolize different nutrients, and to interact with the host plant. These results deepen the knowledge of the potential mechanisms involved in the early stage of plant-bacteria endophyte interaction.
