Diffusible signal factor (DSF) is a type of cis unsaturated fatty acid, with a chemical structure of 11-methyl-2-dodecylene acid. DSF is widely conserved in a variety of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and is involved in the regulation of pathogenic virulence. Quorum quenching (QQ) is a promising strategy for preventing and controlling quorum sensing (QS)-mediated bacterial infections by interfering with the QS system of pathogens. In this study, a novel DSF-degrading bacterium, Burkholderia anthina strain HN-8, was isolated and characterized for its degradation ability and potential biocontrol of black rot disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc). The HN-8 strain exhibited superb DSF degradation activity and completely degraded 2 mM DSF within 48 h. In addition, we present the first evidence of bacterium having a metabolic pathway for the complete degradation and metabolism of DSF. Analysis of DSF metabolic products by gas chromatography&ndash:mass spectrometry led to the identification of dodecanal as the main intermediate product, revealing that DSF could be degraded via oxidation&ndash:reduction. Furthermore, application of strain HN-8 as a potent biocontrol agent was able to significantly reduce the severity of black rot disease in radishes and Chinese cabbage. Taken together, these results shed light on the QQ mechanisms of DSF, and they provide useful information showing the potential for the biocontrol of infectious diseases caused by DSF-dependent bacterial pathogens.
