Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) grows well even in infertile and nitrogen-limited fields, and endophytic bacterial communities have been proposed to be responsible for this ability. Plant-growth-promoting bacteria are considered eco-friendly and are used in agriculture, but their application can interact with endophytic communities in many ways. In this study, a commercial biofertilizer, OYK, consisting of a Bacillus sp., was applied to two cultivars of sweet potato, and the effects on indigenous endophytic bacterial communities in field conditions were examined. A total of 101 bacteria belonging to 25 genera in 9 classes were isolated. Although the inoculated OYK was not detected and significant plant-growth-promoting effects were not observed, the inoculation changed the endophytic bacterial composition, and the changes differed between the cultivars, as follows: Novosphingobium in α-Proteobacteria was dominant; it remained dominant in Beniharuka after the inoculation of OYK, while it disappeared in Beniazuma, with an increase in Sphingomonas and Sphingobium in α-Proteobacteria as well as Chryseobacterium and Acinetobacter in Flavobacteria. The behavior of Bacilli and Actinobacteria also differed between the cultivars. The Shannon diversity index (H) increased after inoculation in all conditions, and the values were similar between the cultivars. Competition of the inoculant with indigenous rhizobacteria and endophytes may determine the fates of the inoculant and the endophytic community.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to isolate endophytic bacteria from tissue culture and leaves of jaboticaba (Plinia peruviana) and to evaluate their potential as plant growth-promoting bacteria. The bacteria were isolated from nodal segments grown in vitro and from leaves from a tree under natural conditions, totaling 11 and 54 isolates, respectively. The isolates were characterized by colony morphology. The indolic compounds produced by the isolates, in the presence or absence of 100 mg L-1 tryptophan, were quantified. The greatest producers of these compounds were identified by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and were inoculated on jaboticaba seeds, using Azospirillum brasilense (Ab-V6) as a positive control. The sensitivity of bacteria to eight antibiotics was also evaluated. All assessed bacteria produced indolic compounds, especially Bacillus sp., with a content of 27.41 μg mL-1. The germination rate of the seeds inoculated with Stenotrophomonas sp. was high - 97.34% compared with that of 74.67% of the negative control. Bacillus sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp. also sped up germination. Chloramphenicol limited the growth of 82% of the isolates, followed by amoxicillin, gentamicin, levofloxacin, and tetracycline, which limited 70%; erythromycin was only effective against 35%. The endophytic bacteria isolated from jaboticaba show characteristics of plant growth-promoting bacteria, and Bacillus sp. and Stenotrophomonas sp., obtained from tissue culture, are capable of enhancing jaboticaba seed germination.

Application of high levels of chemical fertilizers for optimal growth of sweet sorghum causes environmental degradation. Plant growth‐promoting bacteria have biotechnological importance because they can improve the growth and health of important agronomic plants. This study aimed to isolate, characterize, and identify endophytic bacteria associated with sweet sorghum (cv. KCS105), and also to study the inoculation effects of selected isolates on sorghum growth. In this study, 35 isolates were evaluated for their ability to support plant growth. The results showed that seven isolates were diazotrophic, six were capable of dissolving phosphate, six produced IAA and could detect ACC‐deaminase activity, and three inhibited the growth of pathogenic fungi. Nine isolates exhibiting mechanisms for promoting plant growth from the Alphaproteobacteria (Devosia), Firmicutes (Bacillus, Paenibacillus, Staphylococcus), and Actinobacteria (Microbacterium, Brachybacterium) phyla were identified. In addition, the Paenibacillus sp. BB7, Bacillus sp. PIB1B, and Bacillus sp. PLB1B isolates showed increasing effects on plant growth in greenhouse tests. Endophytic bacterial isolates which display plant growth‐promoting features can potentially be employed as biofertilizer agents. They may also address environmental damage problems resulting from the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) can modify plant growth and increase nutrient uptake. This study focuses on additional applications for PGPB in pre-harvest and post-harvest biotechnology.In this study a Bacillus sp. were exposed to urea, cobalt, and iron cofactors and induced with ethylene gas. The induced bacteria enhanced early stage development in cucumber plants. The bacetria increased seed germination by 25% and increased the number of blossoms per plant increased by over 50%. The induced Bacillus sp. controlled late stage development inseveral plants species. The bacteria delayed the effects of climacteric ripening in bananas and peaches. The PGPB may biosynthesize a compound that is released into the surrounding environment that affects early stage development and late stage development in several species of plants.

Arsenic (As) pollution in both soil and water is a global threat and challenge to us. Soil As contamination resulted in desolation of agricultural land and damaging human health via the food chain. Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhance the ability of heavy metal/metalloid tolerance, increase biomass production in plant under adverse condition and also reduce the soil toxicity. This present study focuses on selection of the plant growth promoting trait within arsenite resistant bacteria, previously isolated from As contaminated soils of Faridpur district, Bangladesh. A total of 17 arsenite resistant bacteria belonging to 8 different genotypes comprising 6 different genera (Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Delftia, Wohlfahrtiimonas, Dietzia and Brevibacillus) were screened for their ability to produce plant growth promoting abilities such as indole acetic acid (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization (PS). Among 17 isolates, 15 93.75% (15/16) isolates produced IAA and 83.71% (12/14) isolates had the capacity to solubilize phosphate. Arsenite resistant Bacillus spp. were highly potent in both IAA production (33.33%) and phosphate solubilization (50%) followed by Pseudomonas spp. (40% IAA and 33.33% PS). High IAA production (91.5?g/ml) was exhibited by isolate Bacillus sp. A1b possessing a MICarsenite of 10 mM and maximum phosphate solubilization was observed by Bacillus sp. H2k. One of the arsenite resistant bacteria Detzia sp. H2f having 27 mM arsenite tolerance were able to produce IAA and showed maximum PS ability that was not previously reported. These isolates can be potential candidates for the enhancement of plant growth, provide protection of plants against As toxicity and be beneficial for sustainable agronomic production in As contaminated soils.Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 32, Number 1-2,June-Dec 2015, pp 25-31

ABSTRACT The use of bio-fertilizers and microbial inoculants that promote plant growth and increased yield has been accepted as an alternative to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting bacteria inoculation on growth and quality of micropropagated banana seedlings ‘Prata Anã’. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications and the treatments consisted of 24 isolates of endophytic bacteria. The isolates EB-50 (Bacillus sp.) and EB-133 (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) characterized as diazotrophic, the EB-51 (Bacillus pumilus) indicate for inorganic phosphate solubilization and EB-55(Bacillus subtilis) and EB-40 (Bacillus sp.) indole-3-acetic acid producers have provided significant increases for length, pseudostem diameter, fresh masses and dry masses in ‘Prata Anã’ micropropagated banana seedlings.

Maize (Zea mays L.) culture has a great importance in several countries, especially in Brazil the third-largest world producer. The increase in maize production has been achieved with a high use of fungicide; however, in view of a more sustainable agriculture plant growth promoting bacteria have been explored aiming for the replacement of chemical fertilizers and biological control. In this study, we investigated the bacterial community isolated from maize roots in order to evaluate their capacity of growth promotion as well as of inhibition of fungal species associated with maize leaf diseases. All isolates evaluated were positive for at least one of the parameters evaluated-growth promotion, enzymatic production or bio control. The best results were observed for Enterobacter sp. LGMB221 and Bacillus sp. LGMB242 that showed the high potential for growth promotion, acting in the early stage of maize seedlings development. Bacillus sp. LGMB152 showed the best enzymatic results, indicating that it might play a role against pathogens, a premise supported by the antagonist activity observed. The next steps involve evaluations under field conditions to confirm if these isolates have biotechnological potential as inoculants for the maize crop. In addition, we suggest that Enterobacter strains LGMB221 and LGMB235 and Escherichia strain LGMB159 might represent new species, indicating the high diversity of bacteria in maize rhizosphere that remains to be determined.
