The roots of two legume species (Tephrosia purpurea and Tephrosia villosa) that grew wild on dry sandy soils of Binh Thuan province were sources for isolating plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria. Semi-solid LGI medium was used for the isolation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria from root extracts. All bacterial isolates isolates were evaluated for their ability to solubilize calcium orthophosphate on solid NBRIP medium and their ability to produce IAA in Burk's liquid medium supplemented with 100 mg/L tryptophan. The possibilities of nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and IAA synthesis were all quantitative examined by colorimetric method. Twenty-two bacterial isolates of T. purpurea and 18 isolates of T. villosa were capable of nitrogen fixation in the range of 1.94 to 2.81 mg/L NH4+, whereas only 18 isolates of T. purpurea and 16 isolates of T. villosa showed phosphate solubilization in the range of 12.30 – 48.90 mg/L P2O5, and IAA production in the range of 0.38 – 12.72 mg/L. Sixteen outstanding bacterial isolates of the two legume species were identified by MALDI-TOF technique. The results showed that 13 isolates had high similarity with five bacterial genera including Klebsiella, Cronobacter, Enterobacter, Burkholderia, and Bacillus with score values in the range of 2.070 – 2.411.

The present investigation was carried out to isolate arsenic (As)-resistant endophytic bacteria from the roots of alfalfa and chickpea plants grown in arsenic-contamination soil, characterize their As tolerance ability, plant growth-promoting characteristics, and their role to induce As resistance by the plant. A total of four root endophytic bacteria were isolated from plants grown in As-contaminated soil (160–260-mg As kg−1 of soil). These isolates were studied for plant growth-promoting (PGP) characteristics through siderophore, phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation, protease, and lipase production, and the presence of the arsenate reductase (arsC) gene. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, these isolates belong to the genera Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Rahnella. All isolates were found As tolerant, of which one isolate, Pseudomonas sp. QNC1, showed the highest tolerance up to 350-mM concentration in the LB medium. All isolates exhibited phosphate solubilization activity. Siderophore production activity was shown by only Pseudomonas sp. QNC1, while nitrogen fixation activity was shown by only Rahnella sp. QNC2 isolate. Acinetobacter sp. QNA1, QNA2, and Rahnella sp. QNC2 exhibited lipase production, while only Pseudomonas sp. QNC1 was able to produce protease. The presence of the arsC gene was detected in all isolates. The effect of endophytic bacteria on biomass production of alfalfa and chickpea in five levels of arsenic concentrations (0-, 10-, 50-, 75-, and 100-mg kg−1 soil) was evaluated. The fresh and dry weights of roots of alfalfa and chickpea plants were decreased as the arsenic concentration of the soil was increased. Results indicate that the fresh and dry root weights of alfalfa and chickpea plants were significantly higher in endophytic bacteria-treated plants compared with non-treated plants. Inoculation of chickpea plants with Pseudomonas sp. QNC1 and Rahnella sp. QNC2 induced lower NPR3 gene expression in chickpea roots grown in soil with the final concentration of 100-mg kg−1 sodium arsenate compared with the non-endophyte-treated control. The same results were obtained in Acinetobacter sp. QNA2-treated alfalfa plants grown in the soil plus 50-mg kg−1 sodium arsenate. These results demonstrated that arsenic-resistant endophytic bacteria are potential candidates to enhance plant-growth promotion in As contamination soils. Characterization of bacterial endophytes with plant growth potential can help us apply them to improve plant yield under stress conditions.

ABSTRACTPrevious studies have shown that the sugarcane microbiome harbors diverse plant growth promoting (PGP) microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and the objective of this study was to design a genome-enabled approach to prioritize sugarcane associated nitrogen-fixing bacteria according to their potential as biofertilizers. Using a systematic high throughput approach, 22 pure cultures of nitrogen-fixing bacteria were isolated and tested for diazotrophic potential by PCR amplification of nitrogenase (nifH) genes, common molecular markers for nitrogen fixation capacity. Genome sequencing confirmed the presence of intact nitrogenase nifH genes and operons in the genomes of 18 of the isolates. Isolate genomes also encoded operons for phosphate solubilization, siderophore production operons, and other PGP phenotypes. Klebsiella pneumoniae strains comprised 14 of the 22 nitrogen-fixing isolates, and four others were members of closely related genera to Klebsiella. A computational phenotyping approach was developed to rapidly screen for strains that have high potential for nitrogen fixation and other PGP phenotypes while showing low risk for virulence and antibiotic resistance. The majority of sugarcane isolates were below a genotypic and phenotypic threshold, showing uniformly low predicted virulence and antibiotic resistance compared to clinical isolates. Six prioritized strains were experimentally evaluated for PGP phenotypes: nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and the production of siderophores, gibberellic acid and indole acetic acid. Results from the biochemical assays were consistent with the computational phenotype predictions for these isolates. Our results indicate that computational phenotyping is a promising tool for the assessment of benefits and risks associated with bacteria commonly detected in agricultural ecosystems.IMPORTANCEA genome-enabled approach was developed for the prioritization of native bacterial isolates with the potential to serve as biofertilizers for sugarcane fields in Colombia’s Cauca Valley. The approach is based on computational phenotyping, which entails predictions related to traits of interest based on bioinformatic analysis of whole genome sequences. Bioinformatic predictions of the presence of plant growth promoting traits were validated with experimental assays and more extensive genome comparisons, thereby demonstrating the utility of computational phenotyping for assessing the benefits and risks posed by bacterial isolates that can be used as biofertilizers. The quantitative approach to computational phenotyping developed here for the discovery of biofertilizers has the potential for use with a broad range of applications in environmental and industrial microbiology, food safety, water quality, and antibiotic resistance studies.

AbstractPrevious studies have shown the sugarcane microbiome harbors diverse plant growth promoting microorganisms, including nitrogen-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs), which can serve as biofertilizers. The genomes of 22 diazotrophs from Colombian sugarcane fields were sequenced to investigate potential biofertilizers. A genome-enabled computational phenotyping approach was developed to prioritize sugarcane associated diazotrophs according to their potential as biofertilizers. This method selects isolates that have potential for nitrogen fixation and other plant growth promoting (PGP) phenotypes while showing low risk for virulence and antibiotic resistance. Intact nitrogenase (nif) genes and operons were found in 18 of the isolates. Isolates also encode phosphate solubilization and siderophore production operons, and other PGP genes. The majority of sugarcane isolates showed uniformly low predicted virulence and antibiotic resistance compared to clinical isolates. Six strains with the highest overall genotype scores were experimentally evaluated for nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and the production of siderophores, gibberellic acid, and indole acetic acid. Results from the biochemical assays were consistent and validated computational phenotype predictions. A genotypic and phenotypic threshold was observed that separated strains by their potential for PGP versus predicted pathogenicity. Our results indicate that computational phenotyping is a promising tool for the assessment of bacteria detected in agricultural ecosystems.

The objective of this study was to assess the plant-growth-promoting abilities of 45 endophytic bacterial isolates from Ammodendron bifolium through physiological characteristics detection and endophytic bacteria–plant interaction. Each of these isolates exhibited 1 or more plant-growth-promoting traits, but only 11 isolates belonging to the genera Bacillus, Staphylococcus, and Kocuria were capable of promoting seed germination and radicle growth. These results together with the results of the correlation analysis revealed that the completion of seed germination may not be due to IAA production, phosphate solubilization, pellicle formation, and ACC deaminase, protease and lipase production by endophytic bacteria, but may be closely related to amylase and cellulase production. Further, endophytic bacterial isolates with plant-growth-promoting traits may also provide beneficial effects to host plants at different growth stages. Thus, these results are of value for understanding the ecological roles of endophytic bacteria in host plant habitats and can serve as a foundation for further studies of their potential in plant regeneration.

Echeveria laui (Crassulaceae) is commonly commercialized due to its drought-tolerance capacity and to its rosette-shaped aesthetics. Since endophytes associated with plants from a dry or arid environment have scarcely been analyzed as yet, current research comprises the isolation of leaf endophytic bacteria from E. laui (one five-year-old and one two-year-old plants) investigating plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria which may solubilize phosphate, fix nitrogen, produce exopolysaccharides/IAA and antagonize phytopathogens. Isolation by the maceration methodology provided a colonization rate of 1.98 x109 CFU g-1 for the two-year-old plant and 1.14 x 1010 CFU g-1 for the five-year-old one. All 40 isolates evaluated showed in vitro plant growth-promoting agent’s abilities, with emphasis on EG04, ELG18, and ELP06.  The capacity of the three best bacterial isolates were evaluated under greenhouse conditions in common and black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants. Based on the sequencing of the 16S rRNA region and phylogenetic analysis, the three endophytes were identified as Pantoea sp. (ELG04 and ELG18) and Erwinia sp. (ELP06). Under greenhouse conditions, statistically significant differences were found among the plants treated with the three endophytes when compared to control plants for fresh and dry shoot, root biomass and length.

AbstractBacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum XH-9 is a plant-beneficial rhizobacterium that shows good antagonistic potential against phytopathogens by releasing diffusible and volatile antibiotics, and secreting hydrolytic enzymes. Furthermore, the XH-9 strain possesses important plant growth-promoting characteristics, including nitrogen fixation (7.92 ± 1.05 mg/g), phosphate solubilization (58.67 ± 4.20 μg/L), potassium solubilization (10.07 ± 1.26 μg/mL), and the presence of siderophores (4.92 ± 0.46 μg/mL), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (7.76 ± 0.51 μg/mL) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase (ACC-deaminase) (4.67 ± 1.21 nmol/[mg•h]). Moreover, the XH-9 strain showed good capacities for wheat, corn, and chili root colonization, which are critical prerequisites for controlling soil-borne diseases as a bio-control agent. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction experiments showed that the amount of Fusarium oxysporum DNA associated with the XH-9 strain after treatment significantly decreased compared with control group. Accordingly, wheat plants inoculated with the XH-9 strain showed significant increases in the plant shoot heights (14.20%), root lengths (32.25%), dry biomass levels (11.93%), and fresh biomass levels (16.28%) relative to the un-inoculated plants. The results obtained in this study suggest that the XH-9 strain has potential as plant-growth promoter and biocontrol agent when applied in local arable land to prevent damage caused by F. oxysporum and other phytopathogens.ImportancePlant diseases, particularly soilborne pathogens, play a significant role in the destruction of agricultural resources. Although these diseases can be controlled to some extent with crop and fungicides, while these measures increase the cost of production, promote resistance, and lead to environmental contamination, so they are being phased out. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are an alternative to chemical pesticides that can play a key role in crop production by means of siderophore and indole-3-acetic acid production, antagonism to soilborne root pathogens, phosphate and potassium solubilization, and nitrogen fixation. These rhizobacteria can also promote a beneficial change in the microorganism community by significantly reducing its pathogenic fungi component. Their use is fully in accord with the principles of sustainability.
