Salt Stress Mitigating Potential of Halotolerant/Halophilic Plant Growth Promoting

Abstract

In the current study, the PGP (production of siderophore and IAA, fixation of nitrogen and solubilization of phosphate) potential of forty-five bacterial isolates comprising sixteen genera (Marinibacillus, Zhihengliuella, Bacillus, Nesterenkonia, Halobacillus, Promicromonospora, Terribacillus, Jeotgalibacillus, Staphylococcus, Oceanobacillus, Virgibacillus, Halomonas, Gracilibacillus, Planococcus, Thalassobacillus and Microbacterium) was investigated. Among these forty-five bacterial isolates, most of the isolates (40 isolates) possess plant growth promoting potential. Four bacterial isolates [Marinibacillus sp. (EM1), Zhihengliuella salsuginis (EM30), Planococcus sp. (EK9), and Promicromonospora sp. (EK12)] possessing PGP traits were applied on the barley grown under salt (NaCl) stress in a hydroponic system. Comparing to the un-inoculated group, all the four bacterial isolates significantly improved plant growth that inhibited with NaCl (200?mM) stress. The growth rate of the plants inoculated with Zhihengliuella salsuginis (EM30), Promicromonospora sp. (EK12), Planococcus sp. (EK9), and Marinibacillus sp. (EM1) was 81.86, 80.51, 70.62 and 69.22, respectively. As far as we know, this is the first report showing the PGP potential of Marinibacillus sp. (EM1), Bacillus horikoshii (EM9), Bacillus patagoniensis (EM12), Bacillus agaradhaerens (EK13), Oceanobacillus profundus (EM26) Thalassobacillus devorans (EM34) and Promicromonospora sp. (EK12).     

Isolation and Characterization of Moderately Halophilic Bacteria from Tunisian Solar Saltern

Bacterial screenings from solar saltern in Sfax (Tunisia) lead to the isolation of 40 moderately halophilic bacteria which were able to grow optimally in media with 5–15% of salt. These isolates were phylogenetically characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Two groups were identified including 36 strains of Gamma-Proteobacteria (90%) and 4 strains of Firmicutes (10%). The Gamma-Proteobacteria group consisted of several subgroups of the Halomonadaceae (52.5%), the Vibrionaceae (15%), the Alteromonadaceae (10%), the Idiomarinaceae (7.5%), and the Alcanivoracaceae (5%). Moreover, three novel species: 183ZD08, 191ZA02, and 191ZA09 were found, show <97% sequence similarity of the 16S rRNA sequences while compared to previously published cultivated species. Most of these strains (70%) were able to produce hydrolases: amylases, proteases, phosphatases, and DNAases. Over the isolates, 60% produced phosphatases, 15.0% proteases, 12.5% amylases and DNAases equally. This study showed that the solar saltern of Sfax is an optimal environment for halophilic bacterial growth, where diverse viable bacterial communities are available and may have many industrial applications.

Diversity of Heterotrophic Halophilic Bacteria Isolated from Coastal Solar Salterns,Bulgaria and Their Ability to Synthesize Bioactive Molecules with Biotechnological Impact

Investigations on the microbial life in several coastal solar salterns have revealed the presence of novel organisms and synthesis of unusual molecules active in extreme conditions which might be useful in different biotechnological industries. Biodiversity of heterotrophic aerobic bacteria isolated from two salterns, Pomorie salterns and Burgas salterns located at Burgas Bay, Black Sea coast, Bulgaria, as well as ability of the isolates to synthesize biotechnologically valuable compounds were investigated. The results revealed high taxonomic and metabolic bacterial diversity—we isolated 20 morphologically different moderately halophilic and two halotolerant strains affiliated with 11 species from eight genera referred to the phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria. Gram-negative bacteria belonged to the genera Halomonas, Chromohalobacter, Salinivibrio, Cobetia, and Nesiotobacter, and gram-positive strains were representatives of the genera Virgibacillus, Salinicoccus, and Brevibacterium. All isolates were found to be alkalitolerant, and 41% of them were psychrotolerant. The strains degraded nine of the tested 18 substrates; polygalacturonase, catalase, phytase, and lipase producers were predominant. This is the first reported detection of xanthan lyase, gellan lyase, arabinase, and phytase activities in halophilic bacteria. Nine of the strains belonging to five different genera were found to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS). The highest level of EPS was observed in Chromohalobacter canadensis strain 28. More than a half of the strains displayed antimicrobial activity against one to five test bacteria and yeasts. The present study is the first report on halophilic bacteria isolated from salterns at the Black Sea coast indicating that the investigated area is an untapped resource of halophilic bacteria with biotechnological potential.     

Acetic Acid Bacteria: Physiology and Carbon Sources Oxidation

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) are obligately aerobic bacteria within the family Acetobacteraceae, widespread in sugary, acidic and alcoholic niches. They are known for their ability to partially oxidise a variety of carbohydrates and to release the corresponding metabolites (aldehydes, ketones and organic acids) into the media. Since a long time they are used to perform specific oxidation reactions through processes called “oxidative fermentations”, especially in vinegar production. In the last decades physiology of AAB have been widely studied because of their role in food production, where they act as beneficial or spoiling organisms, and in biotechnological industry, where their oxidation machinery is exploited to produce a number of compounds such as l-ascorbic acid, dihydroxyacetone, gluconic acid and cellulose. The present review aims to provide an overview of AAB physiology focusing carbon sources oxidation and main products of their metabolism.

<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-Asparaginase Production by Moderate Halophilic Bacteria Isolated from Maharloo Salt Lake

l-Asparaginase is an anti-neoplastic drug used in lymphoblastic leukemia chemotherapy. Nowadays, this enzyme derived from bacterial sources, mostly l-asparaginase II from Escherichia coli and in lesser amount l-asparaginase of Erwinia sp. has medical utilization. The long-term usage of these agents leads to allergic reactions and new asparaginase with new immunological characteristics is required. Halophilic bacteria might contain l-asparaginase with novel immunological properties that can be used in hypersensitive patients. In this experiment, we have screened moderate Halophilic bacteria for l-asparaginase production ability and showed that Halophilic bacteria produce intra- and extracellular l-asparaginase. Bacillus sp. BCCS 034 was found to produce the highest l-asparaginase (1.64 IU/ml supernatant) extracellularly.

Halobellus litoreus sp. nov., a Halophilic Archaeon Isolated from a Chinese Marine Solar Saltern

Halophilic archaeal strain GX31^T was isolated from a marine solar saltern of China. The cells of the strain were rod-shaped and lysed in distilled water, stain Gram-negative and formed red-pigmented colonies. It was neutrophilic, and required at least 0.9 M NaCl and 0–1.0 M MgCl₂ for growth under the optimum growth temperature of 37 °C. The major polar lipids of the strain were phosphatidylglycerol (PG), PG phosphate methyl ester, PG sulphate, and two major glycolipids chromatographically identical to sulphated mannosyl glucosyl diether (S-DGD-1) and mannosyl glucosyl diether (DGD-1), respectively. Trace amounts of two unidentified lipids were also detected. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain GX31^T was closely related to the members of Halobellus of the family Halobacteriaceae with similarities of 94.1–98.7 %. Strain GX31^T showed 89.8–95.4 % of the rpoB′ gene similarity to the members of Halobellus. The DNA G+C content of strain GX31^T was 66.8 mol%. Strain GX31^T showed low DNA–DNA relatedness with two most related members of the genus Halobellus. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties suggest that strain GX31^T represent a novel species of the genus Halobellus, for which the name Halobellus litoreus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GX31^T (=CGMCC 1.10387^T = JCM 17118^T).     

Potential of Siderophore Production by Bacteria Isolated from Heavy Metal: Polluted and Rhizosphere Soils

Recently, heavy metals have been shown to have a stimulating effect on siderophore biosynthesis in various bacteria. In addition, several studies have found that siderophore production is greater in bacteria isolated from soil near plant roots. The aim of this study was to compare the production of siderophores by bacterial strains isolated from heavy metal-contaminated and uncontaminated soils. Chrome azurol sulphonate was used to detect siderophore secretion by several bacterial strains isolated from heavy metal-contaminated and rhizosphere-uncontaminated soils with both a qualitative disc diffusion method and a quantitative ultraviolet spectrophotometric method. Siderophore production by rhizosphere bacteria was significantly greater than by bacteria isolated from contaminated soil. The Pearson’s correlation test indicated a positive correlation between the amount of siderophore produced by bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere using the quantitative and qualitative detection methods and the amount of heavy metal in the soil. However, a significant negative correlation was observed between the amount of siderophore produced by bacteria isolated from heavy metal-contaminated soil and the amount of heavy metal (r value of ?0.775, P < 0.001).
