Han L, Zhang H, Bai X, Jiang B. The peanut root exudate increases the transport and metabolism of nutrients and enhances the plant growth-promoting effects of burkholderia pyrrocinia strain P10. BMC Microbiol 2023; 23:85. [PMID: 36991332 PMCID: PMC10061817 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-023-02818-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Burkholderia pyrrocinia strain P10 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) that can substantially increase peanut growth. However, the mechanisms and pathways involved in the interaction between B. pyrrocinia P10 and peanut remain unclear. To clarify complex plant-PGPR interactions and the growth-promoting effects of PGPR strains, the B. pyrrocinia P10 transcriptome changes in response to the peanut root exudate (RE) were elucidated and the effects of RE components on biofilm formation and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) secretion were analyzed. RESULTS During the early interaction phase, the peanut RE enhanced the transport and metabolism of nutrients, including carbohydrates, amino acids, nitrogen, and sulfur. Although the expression of flagellar assembly-related genes was down-regulated, the expression levels of other genes involved in biofilm formation, quorum sensing, and Type II, III, and VI secretion systems were up-regulated, thereby enabling strain P10 to outcompete other microbes to colonize the peanut rhizosphere. The peanut RE also improved the plant growth-promoting effects of strain P10 by activating the expression of genes associated with siderophore biosynthesis, IAA production, and phosphorus solubilization. Additionally, organic acids and amino acids were identified as the dominant components in the peanut RE. Furthermore, strain P10 biofilm formation was induced by malic acid, oxalic acid, and citric acid, whereas IAA secretion was promoted by the alanine, glycine, and proline in the peanut RE. CONCLUSION The peanut RE positively affects B. pyrrocinia P10 growth, while also enhancing colonization and growth-promoting effects during the early interaction period. These findings may help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying complex plant-PGPR interactions, with potential implications for improving the applicability of PGPR strains.

Chouyia FE, Ventorino V, Pepe O. Diversity, mechanisms and beneficial features of phosphate-solubilizing Streptomyces in sustainable agriculture: A review. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2022; 13:1035358.

Abstract
Currently, the use of phosphate (P) biofertilizers among many bioformulations has attracted a large amount of interest for sustainable agriculture. By acting as growth promoters, members of the Streptomyces genus can positively interact with plants. Several studies have shown the great potential of this bacterial group in supplementing P in a soluble, plant-available form by several mechanisms. Furthermore, some P-solubilizing Streptomyces (PSS) species are known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that are able to promote plant growth through other means, such as increasing the availability of soil nutrients and producing a wide range of antibiotics, phytohormones, bioactive compounds, and secondary metabolites other than antimicrobial compounds. Therefore, the use of PSS with multiple plant growth-promoting activities as an alternative strategy appears to limit the negative impacts of chemical fertilizers in agricultural practices on environmental and human health, and the potential effects of these PSS on enhancing plant fitness and crop yields have been explored. However, compared with studies on the use of other gram-positive bacteria, studies on the use of Streptomyces as P solubilizers are still lacking, and their results are unclear. Although PSS have been reported as potential bioinoculants in both greenhouse and field experiments, no PSS-based biofertilizers have been commercialized to date. In this regard, this review provides an overview mainly of the P solubilization activity of Streptomyces species, including their use as P biofertilizers in competitive agronomic practices and the mechanisms through which they release P by solubilization/mineralization, for both increasing P use efficiency in the soil and plant growth. This review further highlights and discusses the beneficial association of PSS with plants in detail with the latest developments and research to expand the knowledge concerning the use of PSS as P biofertilizers for field applications by exploiting their numerous advantages in improving crop production to meet global food demands.

Abstract
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have proved to be an effective solution for enhancing growth of various plant species. Five different bacterial isolates extracted from rhizosphere soil were extensively studied for the production of indole acetic acid (IAA) and among those Bacillus safensis YKS2 strain was found to produce substantial quantities of IAA. B. safensis YKS2 strain was characterized and submitted to National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) (Gen Bank No. MH539636). Optimization of IAA production with varying pH and temperature revealed that IAA production was maximum at pH 7 and at a temperature of 37°C. The production of IAA was confirmed and quantified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The PGPR inoculum showed significant (p<0.05) shoot increase (60.00 – 89.00%) and root increase (30.00 – 90.00%) relative to the controls in Vigna radiata. This study showed that IAA producing ability of B. safensis YKS2 can be used in the large-scale production of IAA for plant growth promotion.

Abstract
Bacillus circulans E9 (now known as Niallia circulans) promotes plant growth-producing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), showing potential for use as a biofertilizer. In this work, the use of a low-cost medium containing industrial substrates, soybean, pea flour, Solulys, Pharmamedia, yeast extract, and sodium chloride (NaCl), was evaluated as a substitute for microbiological Luria Broth (LB) medium for the growth of B. circulans E9 and the production of IAA. In Erlenmeyer flasks with pea fluor medium (PYM), the maximum production of IAA was 7.81 ± 0.16 μg mL-1, while in microbiological LB medium, it was 3.73 ± 0.15 μg mL-1. In addition, an oxygen transfer rate (OTR) of 1.04 kg O2 m-3 d-1 allowed the highest bacterial growth (19.3 ± 2.18 × 1010 CFU mL-1) and IAA production (10.7 μg mL-1). Consequently, the OTR value from the flask experiments was used to define the conditions for the operation of a 1 L stirred tank bioreactor. The growth and IAA production of B. circulans cultured in a bioreactor with PYM medium were higher (8 and 1.6 times, respectively) than those of bacteria cultured in Erlenmeyer flasks. IAA produced in a bioreactor by B. circulans was shown to induce the root system in Arabidopsis thaliana, similar to synthetic IAA. The results of this study demonstrate that PYM medium may be able to be used for the mass production of B. circulans E9 in bioreactors, increasing both bacterial growth and IAA production. This low-cost medium has the potential to be employed to grow other IAA-producing bacterial species.

Abstract
In response to abiotic stresses, plants mount comprehensive stress-specific responses which mediate signal transduction cascades, transcription of relevant responsive genes and the accumulation of numerous different stress-specific transcripts and metabolites, as well as coordinated stress-specific biochemical and physiological readjustments. These natural mechanisms employed by plants are however not always sufficient to ensure plant survival under abiotic stress conditions. Biostimulants such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) formulation are emerging as novel strategies for improving crop quality, yield and resilience against adverse environmental conditions. However, to successfully formulate these microbial-based biostimulants and design efficient application programs, the understanding of molecular and physiological mechanisms that govern biostimulant-plant interactions is imperatively required. Systems biology approaches, such as metabolomics, can unravel insights on the complex network of plant-PGPR interactions allowing for the identification of molecular targets responsible for improved growth and crop quality. Thus, this review highlights the current models on plant defence responses to abiotic stresses, from perception to the activation of cellular and molecular events. It further highlights the current knowledge on the application of microbial biostimulants and the use of epigenetics and metabolomics approaches to elucidate mechanisms of action of microbial biostimulants.

Abstract
α – Amylase was produced from a rhizobacteria Pseudomonas balearica VITPS19. One factor at a time method (OFAT) was employed to optimize the α –amylase production. Three step purification of α – amylase from the fermentation broth. Determining the optimal conditions for enzyme activity. Estimation of the enzymatic kinetic parameters of the α-amylase.
In the present study, α-amylase from Pseudomonas balearica VITPS19 isolated from Kolathur, Tamil Nadu, India was studied. Initially, one factor at a time (OFAT) approach was used to optimize the medium parameters like pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen sources and the presence of metal ions to enhance the amylase activity. After the optimization, 6.5-fold increase in the enzyme production was observed. Enzyme purification was carried out in three stages. The molecular weight of purified α-amylase was estimated to be 47 kDa.The optimum activity for the purified enzyme was observed at pH 6 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at 25 ± 2 °C and the activity is enhanced in the presence of ions like Mn2+, Mo6+, Na+, Mg2+and Zn2+ and was inhibited in the presence of Hg2+ ions. Compounds such as Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), urea and β- mercaptoethanol reduced the amylase activity. The Km and Vmax of the α-amylase was estimated to be 45.23 mM and 20.83 U/mL, respectively.

Cyanobacterial inoculation as resource conserving options for improving the soil nutrient availability and growth of maize genotypes. Arch Microbiol 2021; 203:2393-2409. [PMID: 33661314 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-021-02223-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Harnessing the benefits of plant-microbe interactions towards better nutrient mobilization and plant growth is an important challenge for agriculturists globally. In our investigation, the focus was towards analyzing the soil-plant-environment interactions of cyanobacteria-based formulations (Anabaena-Nostoc consortium, BF1-4 and Anabaena-Trichoderma biofilm, An-Tr) as inoculants for ten maize genotypes (V1-V10). Field experimentation using seeds treated with the formulations illustrated a significant increase of 1.3- to 3.8-fold in C-N mobilizing enzyme activities in plants, along with more than five- to six-fold higher values of nitrogen fixation in rhizosphere soil samples. An increase of 22-30% in soil available nitrogen was also observed at flag leaf stage, and 13-16% higher values were also recorded in terms of cob yield of V6 with An-Tr biofilm inoculation. Savings of 30 kg N ha-1 season-1 was indicative of the reduced environmental pollution, due to the use of microbial options. The use of cyanobacterial formulations also enhanced the economic, environmental and energy use efficiency. This was reflected as 37-41% reduced costs lowered GHG emission by 58-68 CO2 equivalents and input energy requirement by 3651-4296 MJ, over the uninoculated control, on hectare basis. This investigation highlights the superior performance of these formulations, not only in terms of efficient C-N mobilization in maize, but also making maize cultivation a more profitable enterprise. Such interactions can be explored as resource-conserving options, for future evaluation across ecologies and locations, particularly in the global climate change scenario.
