From Lab to Farm: Elucidating the Beneficial Roles of Photosynthetic Bacteria in Sustainable Agriculture. Microorganisms 2021; 9:microorganisms9122453. [PMID: 34946055 PMCID: PMC8707939 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9122453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) possess versatile metabolic abilities and are widely applied in environmental bioremediation, bioenergy production and agriculture. In this review, we summarize examples of purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) through biofertilization, biostimulation and biocontrol mechanisms to promote plant growth. They include improvement of nutrient acquisition, production of phytohormones, induction of immune system responses, interaction with resident microbial community. It has also been reported that PNSB can produce an endogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to alleviate abiotic stress in plants. Under biotic stress, these bacteria can trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR) of plants against pathogens. The nutrient elements in soil are significantly increased by PNSB inoculation, thus improving fertility. We share experiences of researching and developing an elite PNSB inoculant (Rhodopseudomonas palustris PS3), including strategies for screening and verifying beneficial bacteria as well as the establishment of optimal fermentation and formulation processes for commercialization. The effectiveness of PS3 inoculants for various crops under field conditions, including conventional and organic farming, is presented. We also discuss the underlying plant growth-promoting mechanisms of this bacterium from both microbial and plant viewpoints. This review improves our understanding of the application of PNSB in sustainable crop production and could inspire the development of diverse inoculants to overcome the changes in agricultural environments created by climate change.

Abstract
The present study was designed with the objective of improving growth and nodulation of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merill] with co-inoculation of native Bradyrhizobium sp. (LSBR-3) (KF906140) and non-rhizobial nodule endophytic diazotroph Leclercia adecarboxylata (LSE-1) (KX925974) with multifunctional plant growth promoting (PGP) traits in cereal based cropping system (Rice-Wheat). A total of 40 endophytic bacteria from cultivated and wild sp. of soybean were screened for multifarious PGP traits and pathogenicity test. Based on PGP traits, antagonistic activities and bio-safety test; L. adecarboxylata (LSE-1) was identified with 16 S rRNA gene sequencing along with the presence of nifH (nitrogen fixation) and ipdc (IAA production) genes. Dual inoculant LSE-1 and LSBR-3 increased indole acetic acid (IAA), P & Zn-solubilization, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) activity, siderophore, biofilm formation and exo-polysaccharides in contrast to single inoculation treatment. Further, assessment of dual inoculant LSBR-3 + LSE-1 improved growth parameters, nodulation, soil enzymes activities, nutrient accumulation and yield as compared to single as well as un-inoculated control treatment under field conditions. Single inoculant LSBR-3 improved yield by 8.84% over control. Further, enhancement of 4.15% grain yield was noticed with LSBR-3 + LSE-1 over LSBR-3 alone treatment. Application of LSBR-3 + LSE-1 gave superior B:C ratio (1.29) and additional income approximately 116 USD ha-1 in contrast to control treatment. The present results thus, is the first report of novel endophytic diazotroph L. adecarboxylata (LSE-1) as PGPR from Indian conditions particularly in Punjab region for exploiting as potential PGPR along with Bradyrhizobium sp. (LSBR-3) in soybean.

Abstract
The present study assessed the plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits and diversity of culturable rhizobacteria associated with guarana (Paullinia cupana), a typical tropical plant. Ninety-six bacteria were isolated, subjected to biochemical tests, and identified by partial or total 16S rDNA sequencing. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant rhizospheric phyla found, and Burkholderia and Bacillus were the most abundant genera. Thirteen strains exhibited the four PGP traits evaluated, and most of them belonged to the genus Burkholderia. Two multi-trait PGP strains, RZ2MS9 (Bacillus sp.) and RZ2MS16 (Burkholderia ambifaria), expressively promoted corn and soybean growth under greenhouse conditions. Compared to the non-inoculated control, increases in corn root dry weight of 247.8 and 136.9% were obtained with RZ2MS9 and RZ2MS16 inoculation, respectively, at 60days after seeding. The dry weights of corn and soybean shoots were significantly higher than those of non-inoculated plants, showing increases of more than 47% for both strains and crops. However, soybean root dry weight did not increased after bacterial inoculation with either strain. The colonization behavior of RZ2MS16 was assessed using GFP-labeling combined with fluorescence microscopy and a cultivation-based approach for quantification. RZ2MS16:gfp was able to colonize the roots and shoots of corn and soybean, revealing an endophytic behavior.

Functional and phylogenetic diversity of cultivable rhizobacterial endophytes of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 2017; 110:925-943.

Abstract
A diverse group of bacteria colonize the exo- and endo-rhizospheres of sorghum and play a critical role in its tolerance to drought and other abiotic stresses. Two hundred and eighty endophytic bacteria were isolated from the surface-sterilized roots of four sorghum cultivars that were grown on three soil types at three different phenological stages of growth. The isolates were subjected to in vitro screening for their plant growth promoting traits. Out of 280 isolates, 70 could produce Indole 3-Acetic Acid (IAA), 28 showed N-fixation, 28 could solubilize phosphate, 24 had ACC deaminase activity and 13 isolates were able to produce siderophores. Functional diversity grouping of the isolates indicated one isolate having five PGP traits and two isolates having four PGP traits; two and 29 isolates having three and two PGP traits, respectively. Among the thirty-four isolates that possessed multiple PGP traits, 19 and 17 isolates were able to produce significant quantities of IAA in the presence and absence of L-tryptophan, an inducer. Eight isolates possessed high levels of ACC deaminase activity. PCR-RFLP of the 16Sr RNA gene revealed a distinct clustering and considerable genetic diversity among these functionally characterized isolates. The 16S rRNA gene based identification of the isolates of single and multiple PGP traits revealed phylogenetic dominance of Firmicutes; Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Geobacillus, Lysinibacillus, Microbacterium, Ochrobactrum, Paenibacillus and Pseudomonas were the major genera present in the endo-rhizosphere of sorghum. Results of this study are constructive in selection of effective rhizobacterial endophytes or consortia for drought stress alleviation in sorghum.
