Plant-parasitic nematodes have been estimated to annually cause around US $173 billion in damage to plant crops worldwide. Moreover, with global climate change, it has been suggested that the damage to crops from nematodes is likely to increase in the future. Currently, a variety of potentially dangerous and toxic chemical agents are used to limit the damage to crops by plant-parasitic nematodes. As an alternative to chemicals and a more environmentally friendly means of decreasing nematode damage to plants, researchers have begun to examine the possible use of various soil bacteria, including plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Here, the current literature on some of the major mechanisms employed by these soil bacteria is examined. It is expected that within the next 5–10 years, as scientists continue to elaborate the mechanisms used by these bacteria, biocontrol soil bacteria will gradually replace the use of chemicals as nematicides.

A rapid and novel procedure for the isolation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is described. This method entails screening soil bacteria for the ability to utilize the compound 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) as a sole N source, a trait that is a consequence of the presence of the activity of the enzyme ACC deaminase. This trait appears to be limited to soil bacteria that are also capable of stimulating plant growth. Seven different soil samples from two geographically disparate locations were found to contain pseudomonads that were able to to utilize ACC as a N source. Each of the seven strains was shown, by the ability of the bacterium to promote canola seedling root elongation under gnotobiotic conditions, to be a PGPR. The method described here may be used to replace the otherwise slow and tedious process of testing individual bacterial strains for their ability to promote plant growth, thereby significantly speeding up the process of finding new PGPR.Key words: plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, PGPR, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, ACC, ACC deaminase, bacterial fertilizer, soil bacteria.

Eighteen strains of soybean root colonizing soil bacteria were tested for interference with nodulation of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) grown in a field soil – perlite mix or in a soil-less planting medium. Seventeen of the strains were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens or Pseudomonas putida and one as Aeromonas hydrophila. All strains colonized soybean roots at levels of log 3.9 to 5.7 cfu/g root. Although nine strains increased significantly the weights of nodules formed by Bradyrhizobium japonicum 110 on soybeans grown in the soil–perlite mix, numbers of nodules increased in only three treatments. Significant increases in nodule numbers were not observed when the soil bacteria were tested with B. japonicum 118, and only two treatments increased nodule weights when compared with the controls. One of the 18 treatments increased and 1 decreased significantly the dry weights of shoots of plants inoculated with B. japonicum 110 and grown in the soil-less mix. Only one treatment reduced the dry weights of roots. Several strains stimulated increases in the dry weights of shoots and roots of plants inoculated with B. japonicum 118, but these effects were not correlated with changes in nodule numbers or weights. The results suggest that root colonizing bacteria generally do not interfere with the ability of B. japonicum to form nodules in soybean roots and that certain strains may actually enhance nodulation and plant growth. The relevance of these results for the development of improved Bradyrhizobium inoculant products by the addition of selected plant growth promoting rhizobacteria is discussed.

Soil bacteria are able either to stimulate or inhibit seed germination. If seed germination is stimulated, the seedlings of weed species emerge more uniformly, so that they could be killed in the next step of weed control. This investigation focused on testing the germination of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. on several media: Pseudomonas fluorescens (B1), Azotobacter chroococcum (B2), Bacillus licheniformis (B3), B. pumilus (B4), B. amyloliquefaciens (B5). In control, seeds germinated in water. Seed germination varied depending on bacterial media. Germination was inhibited by bacterial treatments B1 and B3, treatments B2 and B4 stimulated germination, while germination in treatment B5 was similar to control.
