Abstract

The detection and identification of microorganisms using spectroscopy techniques promise to be of great value because of their sensitivity, rapidity, low expense, and simplicity.  In this study, we used FTIR spectroscopy for the characterization of Fusarium solani. PCR amplification of DNA extracted from these isolates showed the possibility of amplifying PCR products with sizes 559 bp using the ITS1-ITS4 primers. Based on phylogenetic tree analysis, the isolate of F. solani showed a closely relationship to Fusarium solani isolate MN (MH300495.1) with 99.63% similarity.  The study is focused on the carbohydrate structure which can be analyzed in the range of 900 to 1200 cm-1 of FTIR wavenumber.  The spectra of our samples share similarities with one another, although small differences occur in the absorbance value. The band at 1027 cm-1 is assigned to the C-O stretching of glycogen. Meanwhile, at 1042 cm-1 is interpreted as carbohydrate C-O stretching as well. The band around 1073 cm-1 might arise from both chitin C-C stretching and phosphate stretching of nucleic acids. Other vibrations associated with chitin are also found at 1115 cm-1 and 1151 cm-1 which are assigned to C-O-C symmetric stretching and C-O-C asymmetric stretching, respectively.

Abstract

Ralstonia solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt disease is worldwide in distribution, and results in serious economic losses, particularly in the tropics. Detection and characterization of microorganisms by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) technique promises to be of great value because of the method’s inherent sensitivity, small sample size, rapidity, and simplicity. In this study, we used FTIR spectroscopy for the characterization of Ralstonia solanacearum. The bacteria were grown on Nutrient Agar (NA) at 28°C for 48 hours. The colonies of Ralstonia solanacearum on nutrient agar medium were smooth circular, raised, and dirty white. Cultures of bacteria were identified by molecular methods using PCR techniques. The DNA was amplified using a specific primer pair, 759f/760r (forward primer: 5'- GTCGCCGTCAACTCACTTTCC 3’, reverse primer: 5'-GTCGCCGTAGCAATGCGGAATCG-3’). The PCR produced a single band of 280 bp from the isolated DNA of cultured bacteria.  Bacterial spectra were obtained in the wavenumber range of 4000–400 cm-1 using FTIR spectroscopy. The identification of cell wall constituents in region 3000–2800 cm-1, the proteinaceous structure of bacteria in region 1665–1200 cm-1, and the fingerprint of bacteria in region 1200-800 cm-1 are all part of the spectra analysis in this study. Absorption bands obtained from bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum samples associated with protein, phospholipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates appear in the bacterial IR absorption spectra.
