Physiological and genetic analysis of root responsiveness to auxin-producing plant growth-promoting bacteria in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Plant root development can be largely affected through the association of roots with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). However, little is known about the identity of plant genes enabling such PGPR-plant root associations. Differences in the responsiveness to PGPR among cultivars suggest genetic variation for this trait within germplasm. In this study, two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), BAT477 and DOR364, were identified showing contrasting responsiveness in root development to inoculation with the PGPR Azospirillum brasilense Sp245. Inoculation with an A. brasilense Sp245 mutant strain strongly reduced in auxin biosynthesis or addition of increasing concentrations of exogenous auxin to the plant growth medium, indicated that the differential response to A. brasilense Sp245 among the bean genotypes is related to a differential response to the bacterial produced auxin. To further assess the role of the plant host in root responsiveness, a population of Recombinant Inbred Lines (RILs) of the DOR364×BAT477 cross was used to evaluate the efficacy of exogenous auxin on root development. We detected significant phenotypic variation among the RILs for basal root formation during germination upon addition of auxin to the growth medium. Genetic analysis revealed two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with basal root responsiveness to auxin of which one explained 36% of the phenotypic variation among the RILs. This latter QTL mapped to the same location as a QTL for root tip formation at low P, suggesting that the host effect on root responsiveness to IAA interacts with specific root development. Also, significant correlations between basal root responsiveness to auxin and growth, root tips and root dry weight at low P were identified. To our knowledge, this is the first report on QTL detection for root responsiveness to auxin.     

棉花根际固氮菌、解磷菌及解钾菌的相互作用

目的通过对棉花根际促生细菌N2126、P1108和K2116菌株单独接种和混合接种,根据这些菌株的固氮、解磷、解钾能力和细胞数量的变化,了解它们之间的相互作用。方法将这3株菌株设置4个不同的组合:N2126+P1108、P1108+K2116、N2126+K2116及N2126+P1108+K2116,分别测定培养液中全氮含量,水溶性磷、钾含量和细胞数量。结果P1108对N2126的生长有促进作用但抑制K2116的生长,N2126和K2116之间存在拮抗作用。N2126、P1108和K2116混合培养后,三者细胞数量分别占培养液中细胞总数的6.4%、89.2%和4.4%;培养液中的全氮含量比不接种时下降了0.7%;水溶性磷、钾含量比不接种时分别增加了19.0%和12.2%。结论P1108为3株菌株混合培养时的优势菌株,3株菌株混合培养有助于磷、钾释放。     

Reduction of tetrazolium salts by sulfate-reducing bacteria

Abstract The reduction of tetrazolium salts by the sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Desulfotomaculum orientis , was examined. D. desulfuricans and D. orientis reduced triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) and 2-( p -iodophenyl)-3-( p -nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride (INT) forming intracellular formazan deposits. The reduction rate of INT was higher than that of TTC. INT reduction was not inhibited by the addition of sulfate or molybdate, and sulfate uptake was inhibited by the addition of both INT and molybdate. The ratio of intracellular formazan forming cells to acridine orange direct counts in both strains decreased with culture age and starvation time.

Recovery of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria from sodium alginate beads after 3 years following storage at 4 °C

Two plant growth-promoting bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas corrugata, immobilized in a sodium alginate based formulation were evaluated for their survival, viability and plant growth-promoting ability after 3 years of storage at 4 °C. Populations of both of the bacterial isolates recovered from the immobilized sodium alginate beads were in the order of 10⁸ cfu g⁻¹. The plant-based bioassay indicated that the plant growth promotion ability of both of the bacterial isolates was equal to those of fresh broth-based formulations. The bacterial isolates retained the root colonization, and antifungal and enzyme activities in the alginate-based formulation during storage.     

Influence of clay particles (Illite) on substrate utilization by sulfate-reducing bacteria

The presence of calcium-or iron-saturated illite had a positive effect on the conversion of ethanol and acetate by non-starved cultures of Desulfobacter postgatei D.A41, but had no effect on non-starved cultures of Desulfobulbus propionicus Lindhorst and Sesulfovibrio baculatus H.L21. Starvation of these cultures at room temperature induced adhesion of cells of D. baculatus H.L21 to the surface of the clay particles. No adhesion of cells of D. propionicus Lindhorst and D. postgatei D.A41 was ever observed. However, for the three strains studied, the presence of clay particles had a positive effect on conservation of the oxidative capacity of the cultures during starvation.     

Applicability of the 16S–23S rDNA internal spacer for PCR detection of the phytostimulatory PGPR inoculant Azospirillum lipoferum CRT1 in field soil

Aims:  To assess the applicability of the 16S–23S rDNA internal spacer regions (ISR) as targets for PCR detection of Azospirillum ssp. and the phytostimulatory plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria seed inoculant Azospirillum lipoferum CRT1 in soil.
Methods and Results:  Primer sets were designed after sequence analysis of the ISR of A. lipoferum CRT1 and Azospirillum brasilense Sp245. The primers fAZO/rAZO targeting the Azospirillum genus successfully yielded PCR amplicons (400–550 bp) from Azospirillum strains but also from certain non- Azospirillum strains in vitro , therefore they were not appropriate to monitor indigenous Azospirillum soil populations. The primers fCRT1/rCRT1 targeting A. lipoferum CRT1 generated a single 249-bp PCR product but could also amplify other strains from the same species. However, with DNA extracts from the rhizosphere of field-grown maize, both fAZO/rAZO and fCRT1/rCRT1 primer sets could be used to evidence strain CRT1 in inoculated plants by nested PCR, after a first ISR amplification with universal ribosomal primers. In soil, a 7-log dynamic range of detection (10²–10⁸ CFU g⁻¹ soil) was obtained.
Conclusions:  The PCR primers targeting 16S–23S rDNA ISR sequences enabled detection of the inoculant A. lipoferum CRT1 in field soil.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Convenient methods to monitor Azospirillum phytostimulators in the soil are lacking. The PCR protocols designed based on ISR sequences will be useful for detection of the crop inoculant A. lipoferum CRT1 under field conditions.

棉花根际亲和性高效促生细菌的分离筛选

为了从棉花根际土壤筛选能与棉花凝集素具有亲和作用的高效促生细菌,以选择性培养基从棉花根部初步筛选具有固氮能力、解磷能力及解钾能力的促生细菌,再以异硫氰酸磺(FITC)标记的棉花凝集素为复筛工具,从棉花根际促生细菌中筛选能与棉花凝集素结合的亲和性菌株,分别挑选2株固氮菌、2株解磷细菌和2株解钾细菌作为微生物肥料接种到棉花根部进行盆栽试验.观察其在根部定殖情况.结果是在选择性平板上有20%～30%的菌株具有凝集素染色阳性.盆栽试验显示,接种的6株亲和性菌株能在棉花根部成功定殖,根际细菌数量约是灭活对照的`0倍.通过初步鉴定,固氮菌株N1111为固氮菌属(Azotobacter),N2121属于德克斯氏菌属(Derxia);解磷菌株P2126属于黄单胞菌属(Xanthomonas),P1108菌株为假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas);解钾菌株K2204和K2116属于芽孢杆菌属(Bacillus).     

Identification of rhizobacteria from maize and determination of their plant-growth promoting potential

During the growing season of 1986, the rhizobacteria (including organisms from the ectorhizosphere, the rhizoplane and endorhizosphere) of 20 different maize hybrids sampled from different locations in the Province of Quebec were inventoried by use of seven different selective media. Isolates were characterized by morphological and biochemical tests and identified using the API20E and API20B diagnostic strips.Pseudomonas spp. were the prominent bacteria found in the rhizoplane and in the ectorhizosphere.Bacillus spp. andSerratia spp. were also detected, but in smaller numbers. In the endorhizosphere,Bacillus spp. andPseudomonas spp. were detected in order of importance. Screening for plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria was carried out in three soils with different physical and chemical characteristics. The results depended on the soil used, but two isolates (Serratia liquefaciens andPseudomonas sp.) consistently caused a promotion of plant growth.Contribution no. 350 of the Research Station, Agriculture Canada, Sainte-Foy, Quebec.     

Active attachment ofAzospirillum brasilense to root surface of non-cereal plants and to sand particles

The rhizosphere bacteriumAzospirillum brasilense Cd adsorbed strongly to light-textured and heavy-textured soils, but only slightly to quartz sand. Bacterial attachment to sand particles was mediated by a network made up of various sizes and shapes of fibrillar material. Inoculation of sand with an aggregate-deficient mutant resulted in no detectable fibrillar formation. Rinsing or agitating the sand, colonized by the wild-type and the mutant, had a greater effect on the mutant than on the parental strain. We propose that bacterial fibrils are essential for anchoring ofA. brasilense to sand. A. brasilense Cd was capable of efficiently colonizing the elongation and root-hair zones of tomato, pepper, cotton and soybean plants as well as of wheat plants. All inoculated plants demonstrated: (i) larger amounts of a mucigel-like substance on the root surface than non-inoculated plants, and (ii) fibrillar material which anchored the bacterial cells to the root surface. These fibrils established also connections between cells within bacterial aggregates. On non-water stressed soybean roots, mostA. brasilense Cd cells occurred as vibroid forms. Whereas, those on roots of water-stressed plants.(wilting) were cyst-like. A lower rhizosphere bacterial population was observed on water-stressed plants. When water stress conditions were eliminated, cells reverted to the vibroid form. A concomitant increase in the bacterial population was observed. We suggest that cyst-like formation is a natural response forA. brasilense Cd in the rhizosphere of water-stressed plants.     

Growth promotion and yield enhancement of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) by application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria

Although plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been reported to influence plant growth, yield and nutrient uptake by an array of mechanisms, the specific traits by which PGPR promote plant growth, yield and nutrient uptake were limited to the expression of one or more of the traits expressed at a given environment of plant–microbe interaction. We selected nine different isolates of PGPR from a pool of 233 rhizobacterial isolates obtained from the peanut rhizosphere on the basis of ACC-deaminase activity. The nine isolates were selected, initially, on the basis of germinating seed bioassay in which the root length of the seedling was enhanced significantly over the untreated control. All the nine isolates were identified as Pseudomonas spp. Four of these isolates, viz. PGPR1, PGPR2, PGPR4 and PGPR7 (all fluorescent pseudomonads), were the best in producing siderophore and indole acetic acid (IAA). In addition to IAA and siderophore-producing attributes, Pseudomonas fluorescens PGPR1 also possessed the characters like tri-calcium phosphate solubilization, ammonification and inhibited Aspergillus niger and A. flavus in vitro. P. fluorescens PGPR2 differed from PGPR1 in the sense that it did not show ammonification. In addition to the traits exhibited by PGPR1, PGPR4 showed strong in vitro inhibition to Sclerotium rolfsii. The performances of these selected plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial isolates were repeatedly evaluated for 3 years in pot and field trials. Seed inoculation of these three isolates, viz. PGPR1, PGPR2 and PGPR4, resulted in a significantly higher pod yield than the control, in pots, during rainy and post-rainy seasons. The contents of nitrogen and phosphorus in soil, shoot and kernel were also enhanced significantly in treatments inoculated with these rhizobacterial isolates in pots during both the seasons. In the field trials, however, there was wide variation in the performance of the PGPR isolates in enhancing the growth and yield of peanut in different years. Plant growth-promoting fluorescent pseudomonad isolates, viz. PGPR1, PGPR2 and PGPR4, significantly enhanced pod yield (23–26%, 24–28% and 18–24%, respectively), haulm yield and nodule dry weight over the control in 3 years. Other attributes like root length, pod number, 100-kernel mass, shelling out-turn and nodule number were also enhanced. Seed bacterization with plant growth-promoting P. fluorescens isolates, viz. PGPR1, PGPR2 and PGPR4, suppressed the soil-borne fungal diseases like collar rot of peanut caused by A. niger and PGPR4 also suppressed stem rot caused by S. rolfsii. Studies on the growth patterns of PGPR isolates utilizing the seed leachate as the sole source of C and N indicated that PGPR4 isolate was the best in utilizing the seed leachate of peanut, cultivar JL24. Studies on the rhizosphere competence of the PGPR isolates, evaluated on the basis of spontaneous rifampicin resistance, indicated that PGPR7 was the best rhizoplane colonizer and PGPR1 was the best rhizosphere colonizer. Although the presence of growth-promoting traits in vitro does not guarantee that an isolate will be plant growth promoting in nature, results suggested that besides ACC-deaminase activity of the PGPR isolates, expression of one or more of the traits like suppression of phytopathogens, solubilization of tri-calcium phosphate, production of siderophore and/or nodulation promotion might have contributed to the enhancement of growth, yield and nutrient uptake of peanut.     

The use of transgenic canola (Brassica napus) and plant growth-promoting bacteria to enhance plant biomass at a nickel-contaminated field site

The applicability of transgenic plants and plant growth-promoting bacteria to improve plant biomass accumulation as a phytoremediation strategy at a nickel (Ni)-contaminated field site was examined. Two crops of 4-day old non-transformed and transgenic canola (Brassica napus) seedlings in the presence and absence of Pseudomonas putida strain UW4 (crop #1) or P. putida strain HS-2 (crop #1 and 2) were transplanted at a Ni-contaminated field site in 2005. Overall, transgenic canola had increased growth but decreased shoot Ni concentrations compared to non-transformed canola, resulting in similar total Ni per plant. Under optimal growth conditions (crop #2), the addition of P. putida HS-2 significantly enhanced growth for non-transformed canola. Canola with P. putida HS-2 had trends of higher total Ni per plant than canola without P. putida HS-2, indicating the potential usefulness of this bacterium in phytoremediation strategies. Modifications to the planting methods may be required to increase plant Ni uptake.
