Soil amendment with crustacean chitin used alone or with <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacillus subtilis</em> significantly (p<0,05) reduced infection of <em>Rhizoctonia solani Fusarium solani</em> on sunflower and <em>R.solani</em> on chickpea. Crab chitin used alone or with <em>P.aeruginosa</em> or <em>B.subtilis</em> completely controlled the infection of <em>Macrophomina phaseolina</em> on chickpea. Prawn or shrimp powder used 1% w/w of soil was found phytotoxic on chickpea but not on sunflower. Maximum fresh weight of shoot was produced by <em>P.aeruginosa</em> used with shrimp powder in sunflower and with crab chitin in chickpea. <em>P.aeruginosa</em> produced greater plant height in chickpea used with shrimp chitin.

AbstractPlant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are known to increase plant tolerance to several abiotic stresses, specifically those from dry and salty environments. In this study, we examined the endophyte bacterial community of five plant species growing in the Thar desert of Pakistan. Among a total of 368 culturable isolates, 58 Bacillus strains were identified from which the 16 most divergent strains were characterized for salt and heat stress resilience as well as antimicrobial and plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities. When the 16 Bacillus strains were tested on the non-host plant Arabidopsis thaliana, B. cereus PK6-15, B. subtilis PK5-26 and B. circulans PK3-109 significantly enhanced plant growth under salt stress conditions, doubling fresh weight levels when compared to uninoculated plants. B. circulans PK3-15 and PK3-109 did not promote plant growth under normal conditions, but increased plant fresh weight by more than 50% when compared to uninoculated plants under salt stress conditions, suggesting that these salt tolerant Bacillus strains exhibit PGP traits only in the presence of salt. Our data indicate that the collection of 58 plant endophytic Bacillus strains represents an important genomic resource to decipher plant growth promotion at the molecular level.

The cadmium-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain ZGKD2 was isolated from gangue pile of coal area. Production of siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and the solubilization of phosphate were observed in the strain. Two types of siderophores were identified by UV spectrophotometer. The highest production of IAA and phosphate solubilization were 2.0 ug/mL and 7.2 ug/mL. The root length, plant height and fresh weight of Amorpha fruticosa L in the substrates of Coal gannue and losses were promoted after inoculation with ZGKD2. These data indicated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain ZGKD2 was a plant growth-promoting bacterial (PGPB).

This study was aimed at evaluating the possible utilization of glyphosate tolerant plant growth promoting bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus) for bioremediation of glyphosate polluted soil. The soil samples were spiked with 3.1 mg/ml, 7.2 mg/ml and 14.4 mg/ml of glyphosate and then inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus, level of glyphosate pollution before and after inoculation with the bacteria were determined using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) after extraction with acetonitrile. The bacteria showed significant ability to degrade glyphosate. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, their mixed culture and control recorded percentage degradation of 76.11, 85.8, 75.8 and 49%, respectively at 3.1 mg/ml of glyphosate while At the concentration of 7.2 mg/ml, the percentage degradation by P. aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, mixed culture of the isolates and control was 84.9, 72.7, 66.4% and 39.2%, respectively. The isolates also showed significant rate of degradation at the concentration of 14.4 mg/ml. The GC-MS results showed a significant variation in the degradation products obtained when compared with control. This study revealed that substantial amount of glyphosate was degraded by P. aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus. Hence, they may have great potential in bioremediation of glyphosate polluted soil.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal food crops worldwide. Various abiotic and biotic stresses or their combinations lead to crop losses (up to 50-82%) and pose a serious threat to the agricultural industry and food security. Plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria Bacillus subtilis are considered as a bioactive and eco-friendly strategy for plant protection. Earlier, we have shown B. subtilis 10-4 has a growth-promoting and anti-stress effect on wheat under water deficiency. Here, we investigated the effect of B. subtilis 10-4 and B. subtilis 10-4+salicylic acid (SA) on growth and tolerance of wheat (cv. ‘Omskaya-35’) to combined drought (12%PEG) and Fusarium culmorum. 12%PEG and F. culmorum led to yellowing of leaves (in addition to traces of the root damages). Inoculation with 10-4 and especially 10-4+SA reduced the fusarium development in wheat under drought. Similar effects were revealed for growth parameters. Also, 10-4 (especially 10-4+SA) reduces stress-induced lipid peroxidation (MDA). Such physiological effect may be connected with the ability of strain 10-4 to colonize the internal tissues of host-plant and regulate metabolism from the inside. The obtained construct based on the plasmid pHT01 and the green fluorescent protein (gfp) gene, by which was modified the strain 10-4, will allow revealing the nature of the symbiotic relationships between the strain 10-4 and host-plant. The findings indicate that application B. subtilis 10-4 and its composition with SA may be an effective strategy to increase wheat tolerance to the combined abiotic/biotic stresses.

Effect of various fungicides on the efficacy of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium in the control of root-infecting fungi such as <i>Macrophomina phaseolina, Fusarium oxysporum</i> and <i>F.solani</i> on four different varieties of wheat was evaluated under field conditions. Bayleton (a.i. triadimephon), Bavistin (a.i. carbendazym) and Topsin-M (a.i. thiophanate-methyl) reduced bacterial survival on wheat seeds whereas Benlate (a.i. benomyl) was not effective in this respect. <i>P.aeruginosa</i> used in combination with Benlate showed effective control of soilborne root-infecting fungi along with the enhancement of growth and grain yield of wheat.

Abstract Background : Certain plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) reduce salt stress damage in plants. Bacillus subtilis HG-15 is a halotolerant bacterium (able to withstand NaCl concentrations as high as 30%) isolated from the wheat rhizoplane in the Yellow River delta. A qualitative and quantitative investigation of the plant growth-promoting characteristics of this strain confirmed nitrogen fixation, potassium dissolution, and ammonia, plant hormone, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase, and proline production abilities. B. subtilis HG-15 colonization of wheat roots, stems, and leaves was examined via scanning electron microscopy , rep-PCR, and double antibiotic screening.Results : Compared with a no B. subtilis HG-15 treatment control, in rhizosphere soil inoculated with the HG-15 strain, the pH (1.08–2.69%), electrical conductivity (3.17–11.48%), and Na + (12.98–15.55%) concentrations significantly decreased ( p < 0.05). Inoculation with the HG-15 strain increased the total N, available N, organic matter, K + , Ca 2+ , and Mg 2+ concentrations in the rhizosphere soil of wheat. Under non-salt stress (0.15% NaCl), low-salt stress (0.25% NaCl), and high-salt stress (0.35% NaCl) conditions, respectively, this strain also significantly increased ( p < 0.05) the dry weight (17.76%, 24.46%, 9.31%), fresh weight (12.80%, 20.48%, 7.43%), plant height (7.79%, 5.86%, 13.13%), root length (10.28%, 17.87%, 48.95%), and other wheat parameters. Through redundancy analysis and Pearson correlation analyses, photosynthesis, biomass accumulation, and osmotic regulation by the wheat plants showed a significant negative correlation with pH, EC, and Na + concentrations in rhizosphere soil.Conclusions : Our results indicated that B . subtilis HG-15 can effectively improve the growth of wheat and elicit induced systemic tolerance in these plant, thus, showing its potential as a microbial inoculant that can protect wheat in salt stress conditions. Furthermore, we determined that the rhizoplane of saline-alkali land plants is an important reservoir for salt-tolerant PGPB.

ABSTRACT Coimmobilization of the freshwater microalga Chlorella vulgaris and the plant-growth-promoting bacteriumAzospirillum brasilense in small alginate beads resulted in a significantly increased growth of the microalga. Dry and fresh weight, total number of cells, size of the microalgal clusters (colonies) within the bead, number of microalgal cells per cluster, and the levels of microalgal pigments significantly increased. Light microscopy revealed that both microorganisms colonized the same cavities inside the beads, though the microalgae tended to concentrate in the more aerated periphery while the bacteria colonized the entire bead. The effect of indole-3-acetic acid addition to microalgal culture prior to immobilization of microorganisms in alginate beads partially imitated the effect of A. brasilense. We propose that coimmobilization of microalgae and plant-growth-promoting bacteria is an effective means of increasing microalgal populations within confined environments.
