Rhizobium hidalgonense and Rhizobium redzepovicii as faba bean (Vicia faba L.) microsymbionts in Mexican soils. Arch Microbiol 2024; 206:281. [PMID: 38805057 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-03989-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
As a legume crop widely cultured in the world, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) forms root nodules with diverse Rhizobium species in different regions. However, the symbionts associated with this plant in Mexico have not been studied. To investigate the diversity and species/symbiovar affiliations of rhizobia associated with faba bean in Mexico, rhizobia were isolated from this plant grown in two Mexican sites in the present study. Based upon the analysis of recA gene phylogeny, two genotypes were distinguished among a total of 35 isolates, and they were identified as Rhizobium hidalgonense and Rhizobium redzepovicii, respectively, by the whole genomic sequence analysis. Both the species harbored identical nod gene cluster and the same phylogenetic positions of nodC and nifH. So, all of them were identified into the symbiovar viciae. As a minor group, R. hidalgonense was only isolated from slightly acid soil and R. redzepovicii was the dominant group in both the acid and neutral soils. In addition, several genes related to resistance to metals (zinc, copper etc.) and metalloids (arsenic) were detected in genomes of the reference isolates, which might offer them some adaptation benefits. As conclusion, the community composition of faba bean rhizobia in Mexico was different from those reported in other regions. Furthermore, our study identified sv. viciae as the second symbiovar in the species R. redzepovicii. These results added novel evidence about the co-evolution, diversification and biogeographic patterns of rhizobia in association with their host legumes in distinct geographic regions.

Abstract
Endophytic bacteria present ubiquitously in all plant parts. Their community structure may vary depending on plant tissue and growth condition. This work mainly focused on exploring the diversity of culturable nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria in above-ground plant parts of wheat by harvesting it during various growth points (Seed stage, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd month old plants, respectively). Distinct endophytic bacterial colonies were selected on Jensen's agar plate. Based on the 16S rRNA sequencing, 43 putative nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacteria were identified. Most of the isolates were found unique to the plant growth phase except for Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Paenibacillus sp., Microbacterium sp., Exiguobacterium sp. Further, endophytic bacteria were scrutinized for their plant growth promoting traits. They were found positive for IAA production (100%), P-solubilization (21%), Zn-solubilization (63%), ammonia production (93%), and nifH gene (33%). Extracellular enzyme production was found positive for cellulase (98%), pectinase (98%), and protease (100%). Their endophytic colonization ability was assessed using reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction assay, upon their entry inside the host plant.

Suhadolnik MLS, Costa PS, Castro GM, Lobo FP, Nascimento AMA. Comprehensive insights into arsenic- and iron-redox genes, their taxonomy and associated environmental drivers deciphered by a meta-analysis. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2021; 146:106234. [PMID: 33181412 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2020.106234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In nature, arsenic (As) and iron (Fe) biotransformation are interconnected, influencing local As mobility and toxicity. While As- or Fe-metabolizing microorganisms are widely documented, knowledge concerning their cycling genes, associated with geophysicochemical data and taxonomic distribution, remains scarce. We performed a meta-analysis to explore the distribution and environmental importance of As- and Fe-redox genes (AsRGs and FeRGs) and predict their significant correlations and hosts. The most abundant and ubiquitous AsRGs and FeRGs were arsC and ccoN, respectively. The ccoN gene had the highest frequency at pH ≥ 9.1, in which dissolved Fe(II) is scarce, possibly contributing to enhanced host survival. Fe(III) oxidation genes iro and ccoN appear to be associated with As(V) detoxification in mesophilic environments. No correlation was observed between Fe(III) reduction gene omcB and arsenate reductase genes. Cytochromes with putative roles in Fe-redox reactions were identified (including yceJ and fbcH) and were significantly correlated with As(V) reduction genes under diverse geophysicochemical conditions. The taxonomies of AsRGs and FeRGs-carrying contigs revealed great diversity, among which various, such as Chlamydea (arsC) and Firmicutes (omcB), were previously undescribed. Nearly all (98.9%) of the AsRGs and FeRGs were not carried by any plasmid sequences. This meta-analysis expands our understanding of the global environmental, taxonomic and functional microbiome involved in As- and Fe-redox transformations. Moreover, these findings should help guide studies on putative in vivo functional roles of cytochromes in Fe-redox pathways.

A Gnotobiotic Model to Examine Plant and Microbiome Contributions to Survival under Arsenic Stress. Microorganisms 2020; 9:microorganisms9010045. [PMID: 33375331 PMCID: PMC7823691 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9010045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 12/16/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
So far, the relative importance of the plant and its microbiome in the development of early stages of plant seedling growth under arsenic stress has not been studied. To test the role of endophytic bacteria in increasing plant success under arsenic stress, gnotobiotic seeds of J. montana were inoculated with two endophytic bacteria: Pantoea conspicua MC-K1 (PGPB and As resistant bacteria) and Arthrobacter sp. MC-D3A (non-helper and non-As resistant bacteria) and an endobacteria mixture. In holobiotic seedlings (with seed-vectored microbes intact), neither the capacity of germination nor development of roots and lateral hairs was affected at 125 μM As(V). However, in gnotobiotic seedlings, the plants are negatively impacted by absence of a microbiome and presence of arsenic, resulting in reduced growth of roots and root hairs. The inoculation of a single PGPB (P. conspicua-MCK1) shows a tendency to the recovery of the plant, both in arsenic enriched and arsenic-free media, while the inoculation with Arthrobacter sp. does not help in the recovery of the plants. Inoculation with a bacterial mixture allows recovery of plants in arsenic free media; however, plants did not recover under arsenic stress, probably because of a bacterial interaction in the mixture.
