Abstract Aims This study aimed to compare the effect on colonization, plant-growth promotion and nitrogen fixation contribution by inoculation with Paenibacillus polymyxa wild-type and Nif−mutant. Methods Paenibacillus polymyxa wild-type and Nif− mutant was labeled with GFP and then the GFP-labeled bacteria were used to inoculate cucumber. The colonization patterns of P. polymyxa WLY78 in these plants were observed under the confocal laser scanning microscope. The effects of plant-growth promotion were investigated by greenhouse experiments. The nitrogen fixation contribution was estimated by 15N isotope dilution experiments. Results Observation by laser confocal microscopy revealed that both P. polymyxa WLY78 and ΔnifB-V mutant can effectively colonize cucumber root, stem and leaf tissues. Greenhouse experiments showed that inoculation with P. polymyxa WLY78 can significantly enhance the lengths and fresh wights of cucumber roots and shoots, but inoculation with ΔnifB-V mutant can not. 15N isotope dilution experiments showed that cucumber plants derive 25.93% nitrogen from nitrogen fixation performed by P. polymyxa WLY78, but the ΔnifB-V mutant nearly can not provide nitrogen for plant. Conclusions This present study demonstrates that nitrogen fixation plays an import role in promoting plant growth.

Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R is an endophytic strain capable of fixing nitrogen (N) and promoting growth in a broad range of hosts. In this study, the ability of Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R to fix N and promote the growth of canola (Brassica napus L.) was determined in a 3-month-long trial. We also compared growth promoting and N-fixing capability of wild-type P2b-2R and its GFP-tagged counterpart. Canola seedlings were inoculated with strain P2b-2Rgfp or P2b-2R. Non-inoculated seedlings were used as controls. Canola seedlings were grown for 3 months before evaluating plant growth promotion (length, biomass, and pod mass) and N fixation (using foliar 15N dilution assay). P2b-2Rgfp inoculation significantly promoted canola growth by increasing seedling length by 2-fold, biomass by 2.5-fold, and fixing 35% of its foliar N, respectively. P2b-2R inoculation also increased seedling length by 70%, biomass by 2-fold, and fixed 27% of N. Seedling biomass and length, and the amount of N fixed by P2b-2Rgfp-treated seedlings was significantly greater than the P2b-2R-treated seedlings. P2b-2R or P2b-2Rgfp inoculation also lead to an increase of pod mass (more than 50%), indicating that these strains might play a role in enhancing the yield of canola by acting as biofertilizer.

Endophytic bacteria hold tremendous potential for use as biocontrol agents. Our study aimed to investigate the biocontrol activity of Pseudomonas fluorescens BRZ63, a new endophyte of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) against Rhizoctonia solani W70, Colletotrichum dematium K, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum K2291, and Fusarium avenaceum. In addition, features crucial for biocontrol, plant growth promotion, and colonization were assessed and linked with the genome sequences. The in vitro tests showed that BRZ63 significantly inhibited the mycelium growth of all tested pathogens and stimulated germination and growth of oilseed rape seedlings treated with fungal pathogens. The BRZ63 strain can benefit plants by producing biosurfactants, siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, and ammonia as well as phosphate solubilization. The abilities of exopolysaccharide production, autoaggregation, and biofilm formation additionally underline its potential to plant colonization and hence biocontrol. The effective colonization properties of the BRZ63 strain were confirmed by microscopy observations of EGFP-expressing cells colonizing the root surface and epidermal cells of Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0. Genome mining identified many genes related to the biocontrol process, such as transporters, siderophores, and other secondary metabolites. All analyses revealed that the BRZ63 strain is an excellent endophytic candidate for biocontrol of various plant pathogens and plant growth promotion.
