Abstract Plant growth and productivity depend on the complex and dynamic interaction between the plant roots and soil microflora. At present, the research on rhizosphere associated microbes’ is largely focused on bacteria and fungi; whereas the interaction of soil protists with plants and other microbes remain unexplored. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of a ciliate (Kreyellidae sp. C5) and two plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) i.e., Pseudomonas sp. (Ps) and Enterobacter sp. (Ec), on the growth of rice plants. It was observed that the protist-PGPB interaction significantly modified the root structure leading to an enhanced outgrowth of lateral roots (272.08% − 380.41%) and seminal roots (190.40% -250.45%), in addition to an increase in the primary root length (Turkey’s HSD, p < 0.05). The Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) analysis indicated a striking shift in the overall soil microbial communities due to the presence of a predator. The combined treatments (with C5Ps and C5Ec) further increased the Microbial Carbon Biomass (MBC) to 223.59% and 310.57% as compared to control and PGPB treatments respectively. A similar enhancement of dehydrogenase enzyme activity was observed in soil samples of rice plants on combined treatments. In contrast, the alkaline phosphatase and fluorescein diacetate enzyme activities were recorded to be more in soil samples treated with PGPB. The combined treatment of rice plants also enhanced the uptake of N and P moderately, as compared to PGPB treated plants. However, this enhancement was significant compared to control plants. The colony-forming unit (CFU) and most probable number (MPN) was found to be more in C5Ec (131.0 ± 3.70×1011 and 5.12 ± 0.06) and C5Ps (24.10 ± 2.19×1010 and 10.52 ± 0.39), as compared to control and PGPB treated soil samples. In conclusion, this is the first study that demonstrates significant modification of root structure and increased nutrient uptake by rice plants through interaction between Kreyellidae sp. and PGPB. In addition, we also report improved respiration and diverse microbial population in soil samples on combined treatment of rice plants.

Grain Losses

As a major food crop, rice (Oryza sativa) is produced and consumed by nearly 90% of the population in Asia with less than 9% produced outside Asia. Hence, reports on large scale grain losses were alarming and resulted in a heightened awareness on the importance of rice plants’ health and increased interest against phytopathogens in rice. To serve this interest, this review will provide a summary on bacterial rice pathogens, which can potentially be controlled by plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Additionally, this review highlights PGPB-mediated functional traits, including biocontrol of bacterial rice pathogens and enhancement of rice plant’s growth. Currently, a plethora of recent studies address the use of PGPB to combat bacterial rice pathogens in an attempt to replace existing methods of chemical fertilizers and pesticides that often lead to environmental pollutions. As a tool to combat bacterial rice pathogens, PGPB presented itself as a promising alternative in improving rice plants’ health and simultaneously controlling bacterial rice pathogens in vitro and in the field/greenhouse studies. PGPB, such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Streptomyces, are now very well-known. Applications of PGPB as bioformulations are found to be effective in improving rice productivity and provide an eco-friendly alternative to agroecosystems.

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) is a useful alternative to ryegrass in New Zealand pasture but it is slow to establish. Naturally occurring beneficial bacteria in the rhizosphere can improve plant growth and health through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms.

Cd Translocation

Miscanthus spp. are energy plants and excellent candidates for phytoremediation approaches of metal(loid)s-contaminated soils, especially when combined with plant growth-promoting bacteria. Forty-one bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere soils and roots tissue of five dominant plants (Artemisia argyi Levl., Gladiolus gandavensis Vaniot Houtt, Boehmeria nivea L., Veronica didyma Tenore, and Miscanthus floridulus Lab.) colonizing a cadmium (Cd)-contaminated mining area (Huayuan, Hunan, China). We subsequently tested their plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits (e.g., production of indole-3-acetic acid, siderophore, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase) and Cd tolerance. Among bacteria, two strains, Klebsiella michiganensis TS8 and Lelliottia jeotgali MR2, presented higher Cd tolerance and showed the best results regarding in vitro growth-promoting traits. In the subsequent pot experiments using soil spiked with 10 mg Cd·kg−1, we investigated the effects of TS8 and MR2 strains on soil Cd phytoremediation when combined with M. floridulus (Lab.). After sixty days of planting M. floridulus (Lab.), we found that TS8 increased plant height by 39.9%, dry weight of leaves by 99.1%, and the total Cd in the rhizosphere soil was reduced by 49.2%. Although MR2 had no significant effects on the efficiency of phytoremediation, it significantly enhanced the Cd translocation from the root to the aboveground tissues (translocation factor > 1). The combination of K. michiganensis TS8 and M. floridulus (Lab.) may be an effective method to remediate Cd-contaminated soils, while the inoculation of L. jeotgali MR2 may be used to enhance the phytoextraction potential of M. floridulus.

Jejubacter calystegiae KSNA2T, a moderately halophilic, endophytic bacterium isolated from beach morning glory (Calystegia soldanella), was determined to be a novel species in a new genus in the family Enterobacteriaceae. To gain insights into the genetic basis of the salinity stress response of strain KSNA2T, we sequenced its genome using two complementary sequencing platforms (Illumina HiSeq and PacBio RSII). The genome contains a repertoire of metabolic pathways, such as those for nitrogen, phosphorus, and some amino acid metabolism pathways. Functional annotation of the KSNA2T genome revealed several genes involved in salt tolerance pathways, such as those encoding sodium transporters, potassium transporters, and osmoprotectant enzymes. Plant growth-promoting bacteria-based experiments indicated that strain KSNA2T promotes the germination of vegetable seeds in saline conditions. Overall, the genetic and biological analyses of strain KSNA2T provide valuable insights into bacteria-mediated salt tolerance in agriculture.
