Experiments were performed to identify the substances that are excreted by the soil bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 and that were reported to stimulate the formation of lateral roots and of root hairs of grasses. Azospirillum forms indole-3 acetic acid (IAA) but only in the late stationary growth phase or when tryptophan is present in the medium, but not in continuous cultures or in the logarithmic growth phase of batch cultures. Formation of IAA by Azospirillum requires aerobic conditions. Nitrite can replace IAA in several phytohormone assay, and is even more active than IAA in a test with wheat root segments in which the increase of wet weight is determined. Higher amounts of nitrite are necessary for activity in other classical auxin assays. Nitrite shows 40–60% of the activity of IAA in the straight-growth test of Avena coleoptiles and in the formation of C2H4 by pea epicotyl segments. Like IAA, nitrite is inactive in promoting C2H4 formation by ripe apple tissues. Since nitrite alone can hardly exert phytohormonal effects, it is postulated that nitrite reacts with a substance in the cells and that a product formed by this reaction functions as auxin. Such a substance could be ascorbate. Exogenously added ascorbate enhances the rate of nitrite-dependent C2H4 formation by pea epicotyl sections and the nitrite-dependent increase in the wet weight of wheat root segments. Nitrite is formed by nitrate respiration of Azospirillum. The findings that nitrite can have phytohormonal effects offers an alternative explanation of the promotion of the growth of roots and the enhancement of mineral uptake of grasses by Azospirillum. Indole-acetic acid completely and nitrite partly substitute for an inoculation with Azospirillum in an assay where the increase of the dry weight of intact wheat roots is determined after an incubation for 10 d. Nitrite and IAA are, therefore, possibly the only factors causing an enhancement of the growth of roots of grasses.Abbreviations HPLC

The potential of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been demonstrated in the case of plant inoculation with bacteria of the genus Azospirillum which improves yield. A. brasilense produces a wide variety of molecules, including the natural auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), as well as other phytoregulators. However, several studies have suggested that auxin induces changes in plant development during their interaction with the bacteria. The effects of A. brasilense Sp245 on the development of Arabidopsis thaliana root were investigated to help explain the molecular basis of the interaction. The results obtained showed a decrease in primary root length from the first day and remained so throughout the exposure, accompanied by a stimulation of initiation and maturation of lateral root primordia and an increase of lateral roots. An enhanced auxin response was evident in the vascular tissue and lateral root meristems of inoculated plants. However, after five days of bacterization, the response disappeared in the primary root meristems. The role of polar auxin transport (PAT) in auxins relocation involved the PGP1, AXR4-1, and BEN2 proteins, which apparently mediated A. brasilense-induced root branching of Arabidopsis seedlings. 相似文献

The nitrogenase activity ofAzospirillum spp. is efficiently regulated by environmental factors. InA. brasilense andA. lipoferum a rapid switch off of nitrogenase activity occurs after the addition of ammonium chloride. As in photosynthetic bacteria, a covalent modification of nitrogenase reductase (Fe-protein) is involved. InA. amazonense, a non-covalent mechanism causes only a partial inhibition of nitrogenase activity after ammonium chloride is added. In anaerobic conditions, nitrogenase reductase is also switched off by a covalent modification inA. brasilense andA. lipoferum. Short-time exposure ofAzospirillum to increased oxygen levels causes a partially reversible inhibition of nitrogenase activity, but no covalent modification is involved.Azospirillum spp. show variations in their oxygen tolerance. High levels of carotenoids confer a slightly improved oxygen tolerance. Certain amino acids (e. g. glutamate, aspartate, histidine and serine) affect growth and nitrogen fixation differently inAzospirillum spp. Amino acids may influence growth and nitrogen fixation ofAzospirillum in the association with plants.Azospirillum brasilense andA. halopraeferens are the more osmotolerant species. They utilize most amino acids poorly and accumulate glycine betaine, which also occurs in osmotically stressed grasses as a compatible solute to counteract osmotic stress. Nitrogen fixation is stimulated by glycine betaine and choline. Efficient iron acquisition is a prerequisite for competitive and aerotoleran growth and for high nitrogenase activity.Azospirillum halopraeferens andA. amazonense assimilate iron reasonably well, whereas growth of someA. brasilense andA. lipoferum strains is severely inhibited by iron limitation and by competition with foreign microbial iron chelators. However, growth of certain iron-limitedA. brasilense strains is stimulated by the phytosiderophore mugineic acid. Thus, various plant-derived substances may stimulate growth and nitrogen fixation ofAzospirillum. 相似文献

Gramineous crops such as wheat (triticum oestivum), maize (zea mays), and rice (oryza sativa) develop tumorous structures (para-nodules) along primary and secondary roots when treated with low concentrations of various auxins. Rice forms additional tumors along its hypocotyle. Histologically, auxin-induced tumors appear as cancerous grown out root meristems and thus are comparable in origin and structure to stem nodules of the legume sesbania rostrata. Auxin-affected root meristems do not recover and develop further to large nodule-like organs. Introduced diazotrophs (Azospirillum spp., Azorhizobium caulinodans, Rhizobium spp.) potentially inhabit tissues of both stem and root tumors with the central meristem as a major colonization niche. Evidence is given that infecting bacteria follow a ‘crack entry’ invasion at sites where developing tumors have emerged through the root cortex and epidermis. Bacteria are shown to establish with high cell numbers inside intercellular spaces of cortical and meristematic tissues. Plant-cell infection of tumor cells takes place with bacteria found inside the cell-cytoplasm surrounded by membrane-like structures. Once inhabiting induced tumor tissues introduced diazotrophs colonize endophytically with high cell numbers. Mutant, ammonium-excreting and thus ecologically disadvantaged A. brasilense is shown to survive inside para-nodulating maize and rice plants with a dense population. Micro-aerobic nitrogenase activities of tumor inhabiting diazotrophic bacteria (A. brasilense, Azotobacter vinelandii, A. caulonidans) are in general highly increased when compared with untreated control plants. Additionally, bacterial nitrogenase activity is less sensitive to an increased oxygen tension in the root environment. The host plants benefit from the enhanced nitrogen fixation in their para-nodulating roots. Highest rates of incorporation of fixed nitrogen into host plant material is reported for para-nodule inhabiting ammonium excreting A. brasilense strain C3. The host plant potentially stimulates the nitrogenase activity of endophytically colonizing diazotrophs by providing energy in the form of a suitable carbon source. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that gramineous plants are potentially capable of developing an endophytical diazotrophic symbiosis through para-nodule formation. 相似文献

Analysis of neutral and acidic ethyl acetate extracts from culture medium of Azospirillum brasilense 703Ebc by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated the presence of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-ethanol, indole-3-methanol, and indole-3-lactic acid. IAA in media of 20 strains of A. brasilense and Azospirillum lipoferum was analyzed quantitatively by both the colorimetric Salkowski assay and HPLC-based isotopic dilution procedures. There was little correlation between the estimates obtained with the two procedures. For instance, the Salkowski assay suggested that the culture medium from A. brasilense 703Ebc contained 26.1 μg of IAA ml−1, whereas HPLC revealed the presence of only 0.5 μg of IAA ml−1. Equivalent estimates with A. brasilense 204Ed were 10.5 and 0.01 μg of IAA ml−1, respectively. The data demonstrate that the Salkowski assay is not a reliable method for measuring the IAA content of Azospirillum culture medium and that estimates in excess of 10 μg of IAA ml−1 should be viewed with particular caution. Metabolism of [2′-14C]IAA by A. brasilense 703Ebc yielded radiolabeled indole-3-methanol, whereas roots of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings gave rise to [14C]oxindole-3-acetic acid and an array of polar metabolites. Metabolism of [2′-14C]IAA by maize roots inoculated with A. brasilense 703Ebc produced a metabolic profile characteristic of maize rather than Azospirillum species. 相似文献

Azospirillum species are free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria commonly found in soil and in association with roots of different plant
species. For their capacity to stimulate growth they are known as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). In this work, we
demonstrate the natural occurrence and colonization of different parts of strawberry plants by Azospirillum brasilense in the cropping area of Tucumán, Argentina. Although bacteria isolations were carried out from two strawberry cultivars,
e.g., Camarosa and Pájaro, attempts were successful only with the cultivar Camarosa. Whereas different strains of Azospirillum were isolated from the root surface and inner tissues of roots and stolons of the cultivar Camarosa, we have not obtained
Azospirillum isolates from the cultivar Pájaro. After microbiological and molecular characterization (ARDRA) we determined that the isolates
belonged to the species A. brasilense. All isolates showed to have the capacity to fix nitrogen, to produce siderophores and indoles. Local isolates exhibited
different yields of indoles production when growing in N-free NFb semisolid media supplemented or not with tryptophan (0.1 mg ml−1). This is the first report on the natural occurrence of A. brasilense in strawberry plants, especially colonizing inner tissues of stolons, as well as roots. The local isolates showed three important
characteristics within the PGPB group: N2-fixation, siderophores, and indoles production. 相似文献

Summary Although indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a well-known plant hormone, the main IAA biosynthetic pathway from l-tryptophan (Trp) via indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA) has yet to be elucidated. Previous studies have suggested that IAA is produced by Enterobacter cloacae isolated from the rhizosphere of cucumbers and its biosynthetic pathway may possibly be the same as that in plants. To elucidate this pathway, the IAA biosynthetic gene was isolated from a genomic library of E. cloacae by assaying for the ability to convert Trp to IAA. DNA sequence analysis showed that this gene codes for only one enzyme and its predicted protein sequence has extensive homology with pyruvate decarboxylase in yeast and Zymomonas mobilis. Cell-free extracts prepared from Escherichia coli harboring this gene could convert IPyA to indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld). These results clearly show that this pathway is mediated only by indolepyruvate decarboxylase, which catalyzes the conversion of IPyA to IAAld. 相似文献

Nitrous oxide reduction can consistently be demonstrated with high activities in cells of Azospirillum brasilense Sp 7 which are grown anaerobically in the presence of low amounts of nitrite. Azospirillum can even grow anaerobically with nitrous oxide in the absence of any other respiratory electron acceptor. Nitrous oxide reduction by Azospirillum is inhibited by acetylene, amytal and weakly by carbon monoxide. Azospirillum converts nitrous oxide to molecular nitrogen without the formation of ammonia. The cells must, therefore, be supplied with ammonia from nitrogen fixation during anaerobic growth with nitrous oxide. When no other nitrogen compound besides nitrous oxide is available in the medium, the bacteria synthesize nitrogenase from protein reserves in about 2 h. Nitrogenase synthesis is blocked by chloramphenicol under these conditions. In contrast, the addition of nitrate or nitrite to the medium represses the synthesis of nitrogenase. Nitrous oxide reduction by Azospirillum and other microorganisms is possibly of ecological significance, because the reaction performed by the bacteria may remove nitrous oxide from soils. 相似文献

Lectins were extracted from the surface of nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 and from its mutant A. brasilense Sp7.2.3 defective in lectin activity. The ability of lectins to stimulate the rapid formation of hydrogen peroxide related
to increase of oxalate oxidase and peroxidase activity in the roots of wheat seedlings has been demonstrated. The most rapid
induced pathway of hydrogen peroxide formation in the roots of wheat seedlings was the oxalic acid oxidation by oxalate oxidase
which is the effect of lectin in under 10 min in a concentration of 10 μg/ml. The obtained results show that lectins from
Azospirillum are capable of inducing the adaptation processes in the roots of wheat seedlings. 相似文献

The dynamics of adsorption of the nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria Azospirillum brasilense 75 and 80 (isolated from soil samples collected in Saratov Oblast, southern Russia) and A. brasilense Sp245 to the roots of seedlings of common spring wheat was studied in relation to inoculum size, period of incubation with the roots and bacterial-growth phase. The number of root-attached cells increased with increasing size of inoculum and time of contact. The saturation of root-surface adsorption was observed by 24 h of co-incubation for A. brasilense 75, by 6 h for A. brasilense 80, and by 3 h for A. brasilense Sp245. The firmness of bacterial–root attachment increased after extended co-incubation. Differences in the adsorption kinetics of the azospirilla were found that were associated with bacterial-growth phases. Azospirilla attached to the roots of their host cultivar more actively than they did to the roots of a non-host cultivar. Adsorption was partially inhibited when the roots were treated with N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Maximal inhibition occurred after a 3-h exposure of the roots to the bacteria. Root-hair deformation induced with polysaccharide-containing complexes from the Azospirillum capsular material was inhibited by N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and chitotriose, specific haptens of wheat germ agglutinin. A possible mechanism of the mutual influence of bacteria and plants may involve key roles of wheat germ agglutinin, present on the roots, and the polysaccharide-containing components of the Azospirillum capsule. 相似文献

Genes coding for the reversible ADP-ribosylation system of dinitrogenase reductase from Rhodospirillum rubrum 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Summary Nitrogen fixation activity in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum is controlled by the reversible ADP-ribosylation of the dinitrogenase reductase component of the nitrogenase enzyme complex. This report describes the cloning and characterization of the genes encoding the ADP-ribosyltransferase (draT) and the ADP-ribosylglycohydrolase (draG) involved in this regulation. These genes are shown to be contiguous on the R. rubrum chromosome and highly linked to the nifHDK genes. Sequence analysis revealed the use of TTG as the initiation codon of the draT gene as well as a potential open reading frame immediately downstream of draG. The mono-ADP-ribosylation system in R. rubrum is the first in which both the target protein and modifying enzymes as well as their structural genes have been isolated, making it the model system of choice for analysis of this post-translational regulatory mechanism. 相似文献

The root-associated bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 produces the growth-stimulating phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (=IAA) via the indole-3-pyruvate pathway. The DNA region
containing ipdC, the structural gene for indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase, was identified in a cosmid gene library of strain Sp7 by hybridization
and has been sequenced. Upstream of the gene, two other ORF homologous to gltX and cysS were sequenced that are transcribed in the opposite direction. A functional analysis of the cloned ipdC region has been performed. To test the expression of the gene, a lacZ-Km cartridge was introduced into the gene. By this construct, tryptophan-dependent stimulation of gene expression in A. brasilense Sp7 was observed. Evidences for the existence of another copy of the ipdC gene in the Azospirillum genome are also reported.

The agronomic impact of genetically tagged azospirilla (Azospirillum brasilense)was assessed in open field and their fluctuation were monitored in the soil/rhizosphere. Strain performance, upon inoculation of sorghum, was evaluated over a two-years period; agronomic treatments included nitrogen application (0, 80, 160 kg ha–1), and types of inoculant (Sp245 lacZ, Sp6 gusA, Sp6 IAA++
gusA). Grain yield was higher for inoculated seed plots than in non-inoculated ones, whereas nitrogen content, biomass of plant residues and nitrogen in plant residues gave values that were not statistically different. Root length density (RLD) of sorghum at the end of the stem elongation stage was affected only by the indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) overproducer Azospirillum strain (A. brasilense Sp6 IAA++
gusA) with respect to the normal IAA producer (A. brasilense Sp6 gusA), being higher in the first 40 cm of depth, notwithstanding the level of nitrogen fertilization. The traceability of the released genetically modified strains enabled to monitor their ability to colonise soil and roots. Moreover, the genetic modification per se vs. the non-modified counterpart, did not affect the culturable aerobic population in soil, microfungi, streptomycetes, fluorescent pseudomonads, soil microbial biomass, or some microbial activities, all selected as important indicators. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the suitability ofAzospirillum spp. as a crop inoculant in temperate regions, the natural occurrence, distribution and survival ofAzospirillum after seed inoculation in Belgian agricultural soils was studied.Azospirillum was present in most of the fields examined, but concentrations never exceeded 1000 cfu per g soil or per g roots. Under field conditions none of the known species was found to be localized inside the roots of barley, wheat, rye, maize or grasses. Also, the distribution ofA. brasilense SpBr 14 within the root system of hydroponic-grown wheat was studied by immunofluorescence. From the rhizosphere samples of the field crops investigated, a number of microaërophilic, diazotrophic bacteria were isolated and identified asA. lipoferum, found only on maize and grass roots, andA. brasilense, present under all crops. In contrast toA. brasilense, A. lipoferum was able to use different amino-acids and some derivatives as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. Use of a peat-based seed inoculant resulted in the establishment of theAzospirillum spp. in the rhizosphere of field-grown winter barley and winter wheat. The established population survived during winter without appreciable change in numbers, but there was no indication of active growth during spring or summer. 相似文献

Indole‐3–acetic acid (IAA), an auxin plant hormone, is biosynthesized from tryptophan. The indole‐3–pyruvic acid (IPyA) pathway, involving the tryptophan aminotransferase TAA1 and YUCCA (YUC) enzymes, was recently found to be a major IAA biosynthetic pathway in Arabidopsis. TAA1 catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan to IPyA, and YUC produces IAA from IPyA. Using a chemical biology approach with maize coleoptiles, we identified 5–(4–chlorophenyl)‐4H‐1,2,4–triazole‐3–thiol (yucasin) as a potent inhibitor of IAA biosynthesis in YUC‐expressing coleoptile tips. Enzymatic analysis of recombinant AtYUC1‐His suggested that yucasin strongly inhibited YUC1‐His activity against the substrate IPyA in a competitive manner. Phenotypic analysis of Arabidopsis YUC1 over‐expression lines (35S::YUC1) demonstrated that yucasin acts in IAA biosynthesis catalyzed by YUC. In addition, 35S::YUC1 seedlings showed resistance to yucasin in terms of root growth. A loss‐of‐function mutant of TAA1, sav3–2, was hypersensitive to yucasin in terms of root growth and hypocotyl elongation of etiolated seedlings. Yucasin combined with the TAA1 inhibitor l –kynurenine acted additively in Arabidopsis seedlings, producing a phenotype similar to yucasin‐treated sav3–2 seedlings, indicating the importance of IAA biosynthesis via the IPyA pathway in root growth and leaf vascular development. The present study showed that yucasin is a potent inhibitor of YUC enzymes that offers an effective tool for analyzing the contribution of IAA biosynthesis via the IPyA pathway to plant development and physiological processes. 相似文献

The indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase gene (ipdC), coding for a key enzyme of the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway of IAA biosynthesis in Azospirillum brasilense SM was functionally disrupted in a site-specific manner. This disruption was brought about by group II intron-based Targetron
gene knock-out system as other conventional methods were unsuccessful in generating an IAA-attenuated mutant. Intron insertion
was targeted to position 568 on the sense strand of ipdC, resulting in the knock-out strain, SMIT568s10 which showed a significant (∼50%) decrease in the levels of indole-3-acetic
acid, indole-3-acetaldehyde and tryptophol compared to the wild type strain SM. In addition, a significant decrease in indole-3-pyruvate
decarboxylase enzyme activity by ∼50% was identified confirming a functional knock-out. Consequently, a reduction in the plant
growth promoting response of strain SMIT568s10 was observed in terms of root length and lateral root proliferation as well
as the total dry weight of the treated plants. Residual indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase enzyme activity, and indole-3-acetic
acid, tryptophol and indole-3-acetaldehyde formed along with the plant growth promoting response by strain SMIT568s10 in comparison
with an untreated set suggest the presence of more than one copy of ipdC in the A. brasilense SM genome. 相似文献

The oil-oxidizing potential of associative rhizobacteria of the genus Azospirillum was studied under laboratory conditions. After screening, A. brasilense strain SR80 was chosen for further investigation. The strain was capable of degrading 56.5% of crude oil (added in a concentration of 1%) over 14 days in a medium containing malate as an additional source of carbon and energy. Studies of associative properties showed that the strain had positive chemotaxis to wheat root exudates, colonized wheat roots, and produced indole-3-acetic acid. The synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid was not inhibited by oil. Under hydroponic conditions, crude oil stimulated growth of A. brasilense SR80, which promoted development of the wheat root system in the presence of oil and enhanced the level of oil degradation by the plant-microbial association.__________Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 2, 2005, pp. 248–254.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Muratova, Turkovskaya, Antonyuk, Makarov, Pozdnyakova, Ignatov. 相似文献

Tomato seeds were inoculated with the plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria Azospirillum brasilense FT326, and changes in parameters associated with plant growth were evaluated 15 days after inoculation. Azospirilla were localized on roots and within xylematic tissue. An increase in shoot and root fresh weight, main root hair length, and
root surface indicated that inoculation with A. brasilense FT 326 resulted in plant growth improvement. The levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and ethylene, two of the phytohormones related
to plant growth, were higher in inoculated plants. Exogenously supplied ethylene mimicked the effect of inoculation, and the
addition of an inhibitor of its synthesis or of its physiological activity completely blocked A. brasilense growth promotion. Based on our results, we propose that the process of growth promotion triggered by A. brasilense inoculation involves a signaling pathway that has ethylene as a central, positive regulator. 相似文献
