Effect of phenol on protein and amino acid content of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.
Leaf blight disease of rice (Oryza sativa) is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. Phenol (1 to 4 mM) induced changes in protein profiles of X. o. pv. oryzae and a stress protein with a molecular mass of 69,000 appeared. HPLC analysis indicated occurrence of amino acids such as asparagine, alanine, methionine and cystine in phenol treated cells. Proton NMR analysis also revealed variation on the presence of amino acids in the cells treated with phenol.
