Kulkova I, Wróbel B, Dobrzyński J. Serratia spp. as plant growth-promoting bacteria alleviating salinity, drought, and nutrient imbalance stresses. Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1342331. [PMID: 38562478 PMCID: PMC10982427 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1342331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
In agricultural environments, plants are often exposed to abiotic stresses including temperature extremes, salt stress, drought, and heavy metal soil contamination, which leads to significant economic losses worldwide. Especially salt stress and drought pose serious challenges since they induce ionic toxicity, osmotic stress, and oxidative stress in plants. A potential solution can be the application of bacteria of the Serratia spp. known to promote plant growth under normal conditions Thus the mini-review aims to summarize the current knowledge on plant growth promotion by Serratia spp. (under the conditions of salinity stress, drought, and nutrient deficit) and highlight areas for development in the field. So far, it has been proven that Serratia spp. strains exhibit a variety of traits contributing to enhanced plant growth and stress tolerance, such as phytohormone production, ACC deaminase activity, nitrogen fixation, P and Zn solubilization, antioxidant properties improvement, and modulation of gene expression. Nevertheless, further research on Serratia spp. is needed, especially on two subjects: elucidating its mechanisms of action on plants at the molecular level and the effects of Serratia spp. on the indigenous soil and plant microbiota and, particularly, the rhizosphere. In both cases, it is advisable to use omics techniques to gain in-depth insights into the issues. Additionally, some strains of Serratia spp. may be phytopathogens, therefore studies to rule out this possibility are recommended prior to field trials. It is believed that by improving said knowledge the potential of Serratia spp. to stimulate plant growth will increase and strains from the genus will serve as an eco-friendly biofertilizer in sustainable agriculture more often.

[PMID: 36773643 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
To explore an effective, environmental, rapid operating method to repair black and odor water bodies, water samples and sediment samples collected from a polluted municipal lake in Daqing, China, were directly tested in transparent barrels (10 L). Seven groups of optimizing parameters obtained the optimal operating method, and the max removal rate of COD, NH4+-N, NO3--N, and TP were achieved (89.18%, 59.65%, 69.50%, and 75.61%) by using aquatic plants with plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). To further verify the method's effectiveness, lager scale tests were conducted based on a water tank (216 L), and similar removal rates were obtained within 48 h. The water quality index and microbial community structure analysis revealed the mechanisms of the interaction among plants, microorganisms, and pollutants and the main biological processes during water body remediation. Finally, the cost of water body remediation by using this method was estimated.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 325:116560. [PMID: 36279772 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Revised: 10/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Aerated compost tea (ACT) contains soluble humic substances (SHS) that are expected to alter the dynamics and ecotoxicity of Cu in soil. This study investigated the efficiency of ACT in enhancing the mobility and phytoextraction of Cu in vineyard soil. Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) was grown on a vineyard soil at three concentrations of Cu (90, 261 and 432 mg kg-1), and supplied (or not) with ACT, then sampled after 56 days to determine the amount of Cu phytoextracted. Soil was extracted with 0.01 M KCl and potentiometric analyses were performed to measure the impact of ACT on the speciation of Cu in the extraction solution. ACT was found to increase the mobility of Cu in the soil by a factor of 3-14 depending on the soil Cu content and on the soil extraction date. The increase in Cu mobility was associated with an increase in absorbance at 254 nm and with a decrease in the free ionic fraction of Cu in the KCl extract, suggesting that Cu was mainly mobilized by the SHS present in the compost tea, and through a ligand-controlled dissolution process. ACT increased Cu phytoextraction at Cu90 and Cu261 by on average 80% thanks to its positive impact on plant growth, and on Cu accumulation in plant shoots, whereas it reduced Cu phytoextraction at Cu432 due to its deleterious effect on plant growth at this soil Cu content. ACT is thus an efficient way to increase the phytoavailability of Cu in soil, but probably should not be used in vineyard soils that are highly contaminated by Cu. To obtain Cu phytoextraction yields in line with the needs of the wine sector, the use of ACT needs to be associated with the cultivation of a Cu-accumulating plant.

Transcriptome profiling of genes regulated by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria Bacillus megaterium P68 in potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.). Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1140752. [PMID: 37138634 PMCID: PMC10150959 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1140752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The insoluble phosphorus in the soil is extremely difficult to be absorbed and used directly through the potato root system. Although many studies have reported that phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can promote plant growth and uptake of phosphorus, the molecular mechanism of phosphorus uptake and growth by PSB has not been investigated yet. In the present study, PSB were isolated from rhizosphere soil in soybean. The data of potato yield and quality revealed that the strain P68 was the most effective In the present study, PSB identification, potato field experiment, pot experiment and transcriptome profiling to explored the role of PSB on potato growth and related molecular mechanisms. The results showed that the P68 strain (P68) was identified as Bacillus megaterium by sequencing, with a P-solubilizing ability of 461.86 mg·L-1 after 7-day incubation in National Botanical Research Institute's Phosphate (NBRIP) medium. Compared with the control group (CK), P68 significantly increased the yield of potato commercial tubers by 17.02% and P accumulation by 27.31% in the field. Similarly, pot trials showed that the application of P68 significantly increased the biomass, total phosphorus content of the potato plants, and available phosphorus of the soil up by 32.33, 37.50, and 29.15%, respectively. Furthermore, the transcriptome profiling results of the pot potato roots revealed that the total number of bases was about 6G, and Q30 (%) was 92.35-94.8%. Compared with the CK, there were a total of 784 differential genes (DEGs) regulated when treated with P68, which 439 genes were upregulated and 345 genes were downregulated. Interestingly, most of the DEGs were mainly related to cellular carbohydrate metabolic process, photosynthesis, and cellular carbohydrate biosynthesis process. According to the KEGG pathway analysis, a total of 46 categorical metabolic pathways in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database were annotated to 101 DEGs found in potato roots. Compared with the CK, most of the DEGs were mainly enriched in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism (sot00630), nitrogen metabolism (sot00910), tryptophan metabolism (sot00380), and plant hormone signal transduction (sot04075), and these DEGs might be involved in the interactions between Bacillus megaterium P68 and potato growth. The qRT-PCR analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that inoculated treatments P68 significantly upregulated expression of the phosphate transport, nitrate transport, glutamine synthesis, and abscisic acid regulatory pathways, respectively, and the data from qRT-PCR were consistent with that obtained from RNA-seq. In summary, PSB may be involved in the regulation of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrition, glutaminase synthesis, and abscisic acid-related metabolic pathways. This research would provide a new perspective for studying the molecular mechanism of potato growth promotion by PSB in the level of gene expression and related metabolic pathways in potato roots under the application of Bacillus megaterium P68.
