Information on the use of endophytic bacteria as a bio-herbicide for the management of weed control in agricultural fields is limited. The current study aimed to isolate endophytic bacteria from evening primroses and to screen them for their bio-herbicidal activity. Two isolated endophytic bacteria (Pantoea dispersa YNA11 and Klebsiella pneumoniae YNA12) were initially screened for citrate utilization and for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and catalase production. The preliminary biochemical assessment showed YNA12 as a positive strain. Ammonia, catalase, and IAA in its culture filtrate were quantified. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy- Selective Ion Monitoring (GC/MS-SIM) analysis revealed the production of IAA by YNA12 in a time-dependent manner. YNA12 also exhibited significant ammonia-producing potential and catalase activity against hydrogen peroxide. The YNA12 culture filtrate significantly inhibited the germination rate of evening primrose seeds, resulting in a marked reduction in seedling length and biomass compared with those of the control seeds. Moreover, the culture filtrate of YNA12 significantly accelerated the endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) production and catalase activity of evening primrose seedlings. Macronutrient regulation was adversely affected in the seedlings exposed to the culture filtrate of YNA12, leading to inhibition of seed germination. The current results suggest that endophytic YNA12 may be used as a potent bio-herbicidal agent for controlling weed growth and development.

Analisis produksi IAA dilakukan dengan penambahan dan tanpa penambahan L-triptofan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tanpa penambahan L-triptofan, diperoleh sejumlah 19 jenis yang menghasilkan IAA dengan kisaran konsentrasi 0,29-7,21 mg/L. Dengan penambahan L-triptofan, jumlah jenis positif dan konsentrasi IAA yang dihasilkan meningkat signifikan. Jumlah jenis positif 20 jenis (91%) dan konsentrasi IAA yang dihasilkan mencapai kisaran 0,96-115,63 mg/L.Kata kunci: bakteri endofit; IAA; ubi jalar; L-triptofan ABSTRACTPlant-bacteria associations, can promote plant growth by both direct and indirect mechanisms. One of direct mechanisms is that bacteria can produce and secrete indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, auxin) growth regulators. This study aims to examine the ability of sweet potato endophytic bacteria to produce IAA. The detection of IAA production was conducted by colorimetric technique. IAA production analysis was carried out with addition and without addition of L-tryptophan. Without the addition of L-tryptophan, a total of 19 species produced IAA with a concentration range of 0.29-7.21 mg/L. With the addition of L-tryptophan, the number of positive species and the concentration of IAA produced increased significantly. The number of positive species was 20 species (91%) and the concentration of IAA produced reached a range of 0.96-115.63 mg/L.Keywords: endophytes bacterial; IAA; sweet potato; L-tryptophan

Excessive, long-term application of chemical fertilizers in sugarcane crops disrupts soil microbial flora and causes environmental pollution and yield decline. The role of endophytic bacteria in improving crop production is now well-documented. In this study, we have isolated and identified several endophytic bacterial strains from the root tissues of five sugarcane species. Among them, eleven Gram-negative isolates were selected and screened for plant growth-promoting characteristics, i.e., production of siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), ammonia, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and hydrolytic enzymes, phosphorus solubilization, antifungal activity against plant pathogens, nitrogen-fixation, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase activity, and improving tolerance to different abiotic stresses. These isolates had nifH (11 isolates), acdS (8 isolates), and HCN (11 isolates) genes involved in N-fixation, stress tolerance, and pathogen biocontrol, respectively. Two isolates Pantoea cypripedii AF1and Kosakonia arachidis EF1 were the most potent strains and they colonized and grew in sugarcane plants. Both strains readily colonized the leading Chinese sugarcane variety GT42 and significantly increased the activity of nitrogen assimilation enzymes (glutamine synthetase, NADH glutamate dehydrogenase, and nitrate reductase), chitinase, and endo-glucanase and the content of phytohormones gibberellic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, and abscisic acid. The gene expression analysis of GT42 inoculated with isolates of P. cypripedii AF1 or K. arachidis EF1 showed increased activity of nifH and nitrogen assimilation genes. Also, the inoculated diazotrophs significantly increased plant nitrogen content, which was corroborated by the 15N isotope dilution analysis. Collectively, these findings suggest that P. cypripedii and K. arachidis are beneficial endophytes that could be used as a biofertilizer to improve plant nitrogen nutrition and growth of sugarcane. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of sugarcane growth enhancement and nitrogen fixation by Gram-negative sugarcane root-associated endophytic bacteria P. cypripedii and K. arachidis. These strains have the potential to be utilized as sugarcane biofertilizers, thus reducing nitrogen fertilizer use and improving disease management.

A total of 34 isolates of rhizosphere bacteria and endophytic bacteria have been isolated from several fruit and vegetable plants. Bacterial isolates were then screened to produce phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in a minimal medium (MM) with the addition of 1 g/l tryptophan as a precursor. Phytohormone production was carried out in an incubator shaker for 5 days at 28oC in a dark condition. IAA in the culture supernatant was extracted with ethyl acetate. The presence of IAA in the bacterial extract was detected using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). The concentration of IAA was determined quantitatively using High Performance LiquidChromatography (HPLC). The result showed that among 34 bacterial isolates, 20 isolates were able to produce IAA with different concentrations. The highest concentration of IAA (16,71 ppm) was produced by the endophytic bacteria isolated from twigs of starfruit plant. In addition, within the group of rhizosphere bacterial isolates, bacteria from kangkung plant was found to be the best one with IAA concentration of 10.99 ppm.
