Abstract
Pseudomonas syringae is an important plant pathogen of many valuable crops worldwide, with more than 60 identified pathovars. The phytotoxins produced by these organisms were related to the severity of the damage caused to the plant. An emerging strategy to treat bacterial infections relies on interference with their signaling systems. In this study, we investigated P. syringae pv. syringae, which produces the virulence factor mangotoxin that causes bacterial apical necrosis on mango leaves. A previously unknown signaling molecule named leudiazen was identified, determined to be unstable and volatile, and responsible for mangotoxin production. A strategy using potassium permanganate, compatible with organic farming, was developed to degrade leudiazen and thus to attenuate the pathogenicity of P. syringae pv. syringae.

Chemistry 2021; 27:2724-2733.

Abstract
Gramibactin (GBT) is an archetype for the new class of diazeniumdiolate siderophores, produced by Paraburkholderia graminis, a cereal-associated rhizosphere bacterium, for which a detailed solution thermodynamic study exploring the iron coordination properties is reported. The acid-base behavior of gramibactin as well as its complexing ability toward Fe3+ was studied over a wide range of pH values (2≤pH≤11). For the latter the ligand-competition method employing EDTA was used. Only two species are formed: [Fe(GBT)]- (pH 2 to 9) and [Fe(GBT)(OH)2 ]3- (pH≥9). The formation of [Fe(GBT)]- and its occurrence in real systems was confirmed by LC-HRESIMS analysis of the bacteria culture broth extract. The sequestering ability of gramibactin was also evaluated in terms of the parameters pFe and pL0.5 . Gramibactin exhibits a higher sequestering ability toward Fe3+ than EDTA and of the same order of magnitude as hydroxamate-type microbial siderophores, but smaller than most of the catecholate-type siderophores and much higher than the most known phytosiderophores.

Abstract
We report that NaON=N(O)-X-N(O)=NONa (1), where X is para-disubstituted benzene, hydrolyzes to 2 mol of nitric oxide (NO) with concurrent production of 1 mol of p-benzoquinone dioxime at physiological pH. The reaction is acid catalyzed, with a rate that slows as the substrate concentration is increased. The results demonstrate that a carbon-bound diazeniumdiolate can be quantitatively hydrolyzed to produce NO as the only gaseous nitrogen-containing product. The data also suggest that N-N bond cleavage is the rate-determining step in NO release, since C-N cleavage followed by dissociation of O=N-N=O to two NO molecules cannot be operative in this case. The finding that this oxime can absorb NO in organic media and regenerate it quantitatively at physiological pHs extends the potential pharmacological implications of the carbon-bound diazeniumdiolates.
