ABSTRACTThe solubilization and mineralization of phosphorus by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is one of the most important bacterial physiological characteristics in the soil biogeochemical cycle. Through the isolation and screening of microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil of intercropped soybean in Ya’an, Renshou and Chongzhou, 9 PSBs with high phosphorus solubilizing ability were identified. It mainly belongs to Bacillus and Pseudomonas. The phosphate solubility of Bacillus aryabhattai B8W22 is as high as 388.62 µg·mL-1. The physiological and biochemical characteristics of each strain showed that it can secrete organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid lactic acid and pyruvic acid. In addition, all strains can produce indole acetic acid and siderophores that promote plant growth. Seed germination experiments also showed that the phosphorus solubilizing bacteria isolated in this research have a certain ability to promote plant growth.IMPRTANCEBacillus aryabhattai from rhizosphere soil of intercropped soybean has high phosphate-solubilizing ability, could produce indole acetic acid and siderophores that promote plant growth, and are of great significance in reducing the application of chemical phosphate fertilizers and promoting sustainable agricultural development.

Microbial Treatments

Microbial treatment has recently been attracting attention as a sustainable agricultural strategy addressing the current problems caused by unreasonable agricultural practices. However, the mechanism through which microbial inoculants promote plant growth is not well understood. In this study, two phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) were screened, and their growth-promoting abilities were explored. At day 7 (D7), the lengths of the root and sprout with three microbial treatments, M16, M44, and the combination of M16 and M44 (Com), were significantly greater than those with the non-microbial control, with mean values of 9.08 and 4.73, 7.15 and 4.83, and 13.98 and 5.68 cm, respectively. At day 14 (D14), M16, M44, and Com significantly increased not only the length of the root and sprout but also the underground and aboveground biomass. Differential metabolites were identified, and various amino acids, amino acid derivatives, and other plant growth-regulating molecules were significantly enhanced by the three microbial treatments. The profiling of key metabolites associated with plant growth in different microbial treatments showed consistent results with their performances in the germination experiment, which revealed the metabolic mechanism of plant growth-promoting processes mediated by screened PSB. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of PSB in sustainable agriculture.

Phosphate Solubilizing

Sixteen soil samples were collected from wheat, barley and yellow corn rhizosphere in Abu-Ghraib, Aqraqof, Latifieh,Tarmiah, Jadriya and  of Agriculture in Baghdad university/ Baghdad city. The results found nine phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) isolates (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6, Y7, Y8, Y9), formed clear zones on National Botanical Research Institute's (NBRIP) agar. The solubility index (SI) of PSB isolates ranged from 2.00 to 3.66. Y4 have the highest SI (3.66) followed by Y3 and Y6 (3.33). Phosphate solubilization abilities varying from (20.10-39.00 μg.ml-1), Y4 was the highest (39.00 μg.ml-1) followed by Y3 (37.00μg.ml-1). The results of hydrolytic enzymes production showed that almost all nine isolates are able to produce protease and pectinase, while Y1 and Y2 showed negative results in cellulase production. Maximum ability for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and indole acetic acid (IAA) production were showed byY3 and Y4 isolates. The isolate Y4 was found to be the most efficient isolate, so it was selected identified as Bacillus cereus using biochemical tests confirmed by VITEC 2 compact system. The results of High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that Bacillus cereus produce oxalic acid (2.996), citric acid (9.117) and malic acid (3.734). Bacillus cereus (Y4) enhanced the growth of mung bean plants. A significant increase in branches number (12.33), plant length (83.0cm), fresh weight (27.25 g) and dry weight (1.427g) were obtained compared with control treatments. The main objective of this study is to isolate PSB and evaluate their roles in plant growth promotion. The results showed the high phosphate solubilization efficiency of PSB isolates and the identified isolates was found to be good enough for plant growth promoting.

Phosphate Solubilizing

Phosphorus is a major essential macronutrient for plant growth, and most of the phosphorus in soil remains in insoluble form. Highly efficient phosphate-solubilizing bacteria can be used to increase phosphorus in the plant rhizosphere. In this study, 13 isolates were obtained from waste mushroom residues, which were composed of cotton seed hulls, corn cob, biogas residues, and wood flour. NBRIP solid medium was used for isolation according to the dissolved phosphorus halo. Eight isolates produced indole acetic acid (61.5%), and six isolates produced siderophores (46.2%). Three highest phosphate-dissolving bacterial isolates, namely, M01, M04, and M11, were evaluated for their beneficial effects on the early growth of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L. Wanza 15). Strains M01, M04, and M11 significantly increased the shoot dry weight by 30.5%, 32.6%, and 26.2%, and root dry weight by 27.1%, 33.1%, and 25.6%, respectively. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons and phylogenetic positions, strains M01 and M04 belonged to the genus Acinetobacter, and strain M11 belonged to the genus Ochrobactrum. The findings suggest that waste mushroom residues are a potential resource of plant growth-promoting bacteria exhibiting satisfactory phosphate-solubilizing for sustainable agriculture.

Phosphorous Compounds

Phosphorous (P) is an essential macronutrient and most soils contain high levels of P. However, its availability to plant is limited by rapid immobilization of phosphorous compounds to insoluble forms and hence plant available forms of P in soils are found in low amounts. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria provide an eco-friendly alternative to convert insoluble phosphates into plant available forms. In the present study, three phosphate solubilizing bacterial isolates (PB-1, PB-4 and VC-01) with visually significant phosphate solubilizing abilities were isolated from tomato rhizosphere soil. In-vitro study in pikovskaya’s agar revealed that isolate PB-1 had the highest phosphate solubilizing ability with a phosphate solubilizing index of 2.08±0.07 followed by isolate VC-01 (1.31±0.09) and PB-4 (1.24±0.08). Isolates were used as bacterial inoculum to assess their ability to promote tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. Srijana) seedling and plant growth in in-vitro and greenhouse experiment respectively. Isolate PB-4 showed best growth promotion in seedling assay whereas isolate PB-1 and VC-01 also promoted seedling growth compared to control. In greenhouse experiment however, isolates VC-01 and PB-1 significantly enhanced all parameters (shoot length, root length, shoot and root dry weight) compared to uninoculated control whereas isolate PB-4 had a positive effect on all parameters except root length.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 2, 2017, page: 61-70

Phosphate Solubilizing

The inoculation of beneficial microorganisms to improve plant growth and soil properties is a promising strategy in the soil amendment. However, the effects of co-inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and N2-fixing bacteria (NFB) on the soil properties of typical C-deficient soil remain unclear. Based on a controlled experiment and a pot experiment, we examined the effects of PSB (M: Bacillus megaterium and F: Pseudomonas fluorescens), NFB (C: Azotobacter chroococcum and B: Azospirillum brasilence), and combined PSB and NFB treatments on C, N, P availability, and enzyme activities in sterilized soil, as well as the growth of Cyclocarya Paliurus seedlings grow in unsterilized soil. During a 60-day culture, prominent increases in soil inorganic N and available P contents were detected after bacteria additions. Three patterns were observed for different additions according to the dynamic bacterial growth. Synergistic effects between NFB and PSB were obvious, co-inoculations with NFB enhanced the accumulation of available P. However, decreases in soil available P and N were observed on the 60th day, which was induced by the decreases in bacterial quantities under C deficiency. Besides, co-inoculations with PSB and NFB resulted in greater performance in plant growth promotion. Aimed at amending soil with a C supply shortage, combined PSB and NFB treatments are more appropriate for practical fertilization at intervals of 30–45 days. The results demonstrate that co-inoculations could have synergistic interactions during culture and application, which may help with understanding the possible mechanism of soil amendment driven by microorganisms under C deficiency, thereby providing an alternative option for amending such soil.

The carbamate insecticide carbofuran (2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl-7-N-methyl carbamate) and three of its metabolites (7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (III), 3,7-dihydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (IV), and 3-keto-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran (V)) stimulated growth in the pea stem segment assay in the presence, but not absence, of a low concentration of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The metabolites were more active than carbofuran itself. The synergistic effect on growth was specific with IAA since it was not observed in the presence of other auxins.Metabolites III, IV, and V and, to a lesser degree, carbofuran were found to be inhibitory to IAA degradation catalyzed by pea stem tissue or purified horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7). Comparison of the relative activities of the compounds in the inhibition of IAA degradation and in the promotion of plant growth suggests a causal relationship. The implication is that carbofuran may promote plant growth through the inhibitory action of its metabolites on enzymic breakdown of IAA, thus preserving a critical level of IAA required for growth promotion.

Growth Promoting

The deleterious effects of intensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture has led to the substantial research efforts on finding the alternatives to these agrochemicals. This study was aimed to isolate Bacillus species from soil of different regions of Nepal and screen for their ability to promote plant growth directly or indirectly by testing their ability to produce plant growth hormone indole acetic acid, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and protease as well as phosphate solubilization. Thirty nine Bacillus strains were isolated from 25 soil samples of different regions of Kathmandu and Chitwan districts of Nepal. These isolates were tested for plant growth promoting traits in vitro. Among the total isolates, about 48.7% were indole acetic acid producers, 38.4% of the isolates showed the ability to solubilize the phosphate, 71.8% were able to produce ammonia and all the isolates had the ability to produce hydrogen cyanide and protease. The isolated strains showed positive results to maximum PGPR traits and exhibited a potential to be used as alternatives to chemical fertilizers and pesticides and could be used as low-cost bio-based technology to promote plant growth in the agricultural sector.
