[PMID: 38648695 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Wuyi Rock Tea (WRT) has different characteristics of "rock flavor" due to different production areas. In this study, we investigated the flavor characteristics and key components of "rock flavor" and the influence of microorganisms on the substances by combining metabolomics and microbiomics with the Rougui WRTs from the Zhengyan, Banyan, and Waishan production areas. The results showed that Rougui has a strong floral and fruity aroma, which is mainly brought by hotrienol, and the sweet, smooth, and fresh taste is composed of epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, epigallocatechin gallate, caffeine, theanine, soluble sugar, and sweet and bitter amino acids. Bacteria Chryseobacterium, Pedobacter, Bosea, Agrobacterium, Stenotrophomonas, and Actinoplanes mainly influence the production of hotrienol, epicatechin gallate, and theanine. Fungi Pestalotiopsis, Fusarium, Elsinoe, Teichospora and Tetracladium mainly influence the production of non-volatile compounds. This study provides a reference for the biological formation mechanism of the characteristic aroma of WRT's "rock falvor".

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2024; 183:163-173. [PMID: 38759274 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2024.05.015] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Sericulture has become widespread globally, and the utilization of artificial diets produces a substantial quantity of silkworm excrement. Although silkworm excrement can be composted for environmentally friendly disposal, the potential utility of the resulting compost remains underexplored. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of this unique compost and screen for eco-beneficial microbes, providing a new perspective on microbial research in waste management, especially in sustainable agriculture. The low-concentration compost application exhibited a greater plant growth-promoting effect, which was attributed to an appropriate nutritional value (N, P, K, and dissolved organic matter) and the presence of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) within the compost. Encouraged by the "One Health" concept, the eco-benefits of potent PGPB, namely, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus licheniformis, in sericulture were further evaluated. For plants, K. pneumoniae and B. licheniformis increased plant weight by 152.44 % and 130.91 %, respectively. We also found that even a simple synthetic community composed of the two bacteria performed better than any single bacterium. For animals, K. pneumoniae significantly increased the silkworm (Qiufeng × Baiyu strain) cocoon shell weight by 111.94 %, which could increase sericulture profitability. We also elucidated the mechanism by which K. pneumoniae assisted silkworms in degrading tannic acid, a common plant-derived antifeedant, thereby increasing silkworm feed efficiency. Overall, these findings provide the first data revealing multiple beneficial interactions among silkworm excrement-derived microbes, plants, and animals, highlighting the importance of focusing on microbes in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Endophytic microbes are plant-associated microorganisms that reside in the interior tissue of plants without causing damage to the host plant. Endophytic microbes can boost the availability of nutrient for plant by using a variety of mechanisms such as fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, and producing siderophores, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and phytohormones that help plant for growth and protection against various abiotic and biotic stresses. The microbial endophytes have attained the mechanism of producing various hydrolytic enzymes such as cellulase, pectinase, xylanase, amylase, gelatinase, and bioactive compounds for plant growth promotion and protection. The efficient plant growth promoting endophytic microbes could be used as an alternative of chemical fertilizers for agro-environmental sustainability. Endophytic microbes belong to different phyla including Euryarchaeota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mucoromycota, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. The most pre-dominant group of bacteria belongs to Proteobacteria including α-, β-, γ-, and δ-Proteobacteria. The least diversity of the endophytic microbes have been revealed from Bacteroidetes, Deinococcus-Thermus, and Acidobacteria. Among reported genera, Achromobacter, Burkholderia, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Herbaspirillum, Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Rhizobium, and Streptomyces were dominant in most host plants. The present review deals with plant endophytic diversity, mechanisms of plant growth promotion, protection, and their role for agro-environmental sustainability. In the future, application of endophytic microbes have potential role in enhancement of crop productivity and maintaining the soil health in sustainable manner.

Whole-genome analysis revealed the growth-promoting and biological control mechanism of the endophytic bacterial strain Bacillus halotolerans Q2H2, with strong antagonistic activity in potato plants. Front Microbiol 2024; 14:1287921. [PMID: 38235428 PMCID: PMC10792059 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1287921] [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: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Endophytes are colonizers of healthy plants and they normally exhibit biocontrol activities, such as reducing the occurrence of plant diseases and promoting plant growth. The endophytic bacterium Bacillus halotolerans Q2H2 (Q2H2) was isolated from the roots of potato plants and was found to have an antagonistic effect on pathogenic fungi. Methods Q2H2 was identified by morphological observations, physiological and biochemical identification, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Genes related to the anti-fungal and growth-promoting effects were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomic analysis. Finally, we analyzed the growth-promoting and biocontrol activities of Q2H2 in potato plants using pot experiments. Results Antagonism and non-volatile substance plate tests showed that Q2H2 had strong antagonism against Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium commune, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium brachygibbosum, Rhizoctonia solani and Stemphylium solani. The plate test showed that Q2H2 had the ability to produce proteases, cellulases, β-1,3-glucanase, dissolved organic phosphate, siderophores, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), ammonia and fix nitrogen. The suitable growth ranges of Q2H2 under different forms of abiotic stress were pH 5-9, a temperature of 15-30°C, and a salt concentration of 1-5%. Though whole-genome sequencing, we obtained sequencing data of approximately 4.16 MB encompassed 4,102 coding sequences. We predicted 10 secondary metabolite gene clusters related to antagonism and growth promotion, including five known products surfactin, bacillaene, fengycin, bacilysin, bacillibactin, and subtilosin A. Average nucleotide identity and comparative genomic analyses revealed that Q2H2 was Bacillus halotolerans. Through gene function annotation, we analyzed genes related to antagonism and plant growth promotion in the Q2H2 genome. These included genes involved in phosphate metabolism (pstB, pstA, pstC, and pstS), nitrogen fixation (nifS, nifU, salA, and sufU), ammonia production (gudB, rocG, nasD, and nasE), siderophore production (fhuC, fhuG, fhuB, and fhuD), IAA production (trpABFCDE), biofilm formation (tasA, bslA, and bslB), and volatile compound production (alsD, ilvABCDEHKY, metH, and ispE), and genes encoding hydrolases (eglS, amyE, gmuD, ganB, sleL, and ydhD). The potato pot test showed that Q2H2 had an obvious growth-promoting effect on potato roots and better control of Fusarium wilt than carbendazim. Conclusion These findings suggest that the strain-specific genes identified in bacterial endophytes may reveal important antagonistic and plant growth-promoting mechanisms.

Abstract
Pesticides are an indispensable part of modern farming as it aids in controlling pests and hence increase crop yield. But, unmanaged use of pesticides is a growing concern for safety and conservation of the environment. In the present study, a novel biosurfactant-producing bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa S07, was utilized to degrade carbofuran pesticide, and it was obtained at 150 mg/L concentration; 89.2% degradation was achieved on the 5th day of incubation in in vitro culture condition. GC-MS (gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) and LC-MS (liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry) analyses revealed the presence of several degradation intermediates such as hydroxycarbofurnan, ketocarbofuran, and hydroxybenzofuran, in the degradation process. The bacterium was found to exhibit tolerance towards several heavy metals: Cu, Co, Zn, Ni, and Cd, where maximum and least tolerance were obtained against Co and Ni, respectively. Additionally, the bacterium also possesses plant growth-promoting activity showing positive results in nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilising, ammonia production, and potassium solubilizing assays. Thus, from the study, it can be assumed that the bacterium can be useful in the production of bioformulation for remediation and rejuvenation of pesticide-contaminated sites in the coming days.

[PMID: 37512973 PMCID: PMC10386586 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11071801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Foliar diseases caused by Stemphylium and Colletotrichum species are among the major biotic factors limiting Welsh onion production in Taiwan. Owing to concerns about the environment and the development of pathogen resistance to existing fungicides, biological control using endophytes is emerging as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical control. The aim of the present study was to isolate endophytes from healthy Welsh onion leaves and investigate their antagonistic potential against the major phytopathogenic fungi associated with Welsh onion plants in Taiwan. A total of 109 bacterial and 31 fungal strains were isolated from healthy Welsh onion leaves and assigned to 16 bacterial and nine fungal genera using morphological and molecular characterization based on DNA sequence data obtained from nuclear internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) (fungi) and 16S rRNA (bacteria). Evaluation of these endophytic isolates for biocontrol activity against leaf blight pathogens Colletotrichum spaethianum strain SX15-2 and Stemphylium vesicarium strain SX20-2 by dual culture assay and greenhouse experiments resulted in the identification of two bacterial isolates (GFB08 and LFB28) and two fungal isolates (GFF06 and GFF08) as promising antagonists to leaf blight pathogens. Among the four selected isolates, Bacillus strain GFB08 exhibited the highest disease control in the greenhouse study. Therefore, Bacillus strain GFB08 was further evaluated to understand the mechanism underlying its biocontrol efficacy. A phylogenetic analysis based on six genes identified Bacillus strain GFB08 as B. velezensis. The presence of antimicrobial peptide genes (baer, bamC, bmyB, dfnA, fenD, ituC, mlna, and srfAA) and the secretion of several cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs), including cellulase and protease, confirmed the antifungal nature of B. velezensis strain GFB08. Leaf blight disease suppression by preventive and curative assays indicated that B. velezensis strain GFB08 has preventive efficacy on C. spaethianum strain SX15-2 and both preventive and curative efficacy on S. vesicarium strain SX20-2. Overall, the current study revealed that healthy Welsh onion leaves harbour diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes, among which the endophytic bacterial strain, B. velezensis strain GFB08, could potentially be used as a biocontrol agent to manage the leaf blight diseases of Welsh onion in Taiwan.

Abstract
Endophytic microbes are a ubiquitous group of plant-associated communities that colonize the intercellular or intracellular host tissues while providing numerous beneficial effects to the plants. All the plant species are thought to be associated with endophytes, majorly constituted with bacteria and fungi. During the last two decades, there has been a considerable movement toward the study of endophytes associated with coffee plants. In this review, the main consideration is given to address the coffee-associated endophytic bacteria and fungi, particularly their action on plant growth promotion and the biocontrol of pests. In addition, we sought to identify and analyze the gaps in the available research. Additionally, the potential of endophytes to improve the quality of coffee seeds is briefly discussed. Even though there are limited studies on the subject, the potentiality of coffee endophytes in plant growth promotion through enhancing nitrogen fixation, availability of minerals, nutrient absorption, secretion of phytohormones, and other bioactive metabolites has been well recognized. Further, the antagonistic effect against various coffee pathogenic bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and also insect pests leads to the protection of the crop. Furthermore, it is recognized that endophytes enhance the sensory characteristics of coffee as a new field of study.

Abstract
Some endophyte bacteria can improve plant growth and suppress plant diseases. However, little is known about the potential of endophytes bacteria to promote wheat growth and suppress the Fusarium seedling blight pathogen Fusarium graminearum. This study was conducted to isolate and identify endophytic bacteria and evaluate their efficacy for the plant growth promotion and disease suppression of Fusarium seedling blight (FSB) in wheat. The Pseudomonas poae strain CO showed strong antifungal activity in vitro and under greenhouse conditions against F. graminearum strain PH-1. The cell-free supernatants (CFSs) of P. poae strain CO were able to inhibit the mycelium growth, the number of colonies forming, spore germination, germ tube length, and the mycotoxin production of FSB with an inhibition rate of 87.00, 62.25, 51.33, 69.29, and 71.08%, respectively, with the highest concentration of CFSs. The results indicated that P. poae exhibited multifarious antifungal properties, such as the production of hydrolytic enzymes, siderophores, and lipopeptides. In addition, compared to untreated seeds, wheat plants treated with the strain showed significant growth rates, where root and shoot length increased by about 33% and the weight of fresh roots, fresh shoots, dry roots, and dry shoots by 50%. In addition, the strain produced high levels of indole-3-acetic acid, phosphate solubilization, and nitrogen fixation. Finally, the strain demonstrated strong antagonistic properties as well as a variety of plant growth-promoting properties. Thus, this result suggest that this strain could be used as an alternate to synthetic chemicals, which can serve as an effective method of protecting wheat from fungal infection.

(PLT16) to Mitigate Drought Stress via Regulation of Hormonal, Antioxidants System, and Physio-Molecular Responses in Soybean Plants. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:8489. [PMID: 37239837 PMCID: PMC10218646 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Drought is one of the most detrimental factors that causes significant effects on crop development and yield. However, the negative effects of drought stress may be alleviated with the aid of exogenous melatonin (MET) and the use of plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). The present investigation aimed to validate the effects of co-inoculation of MET and Lysinibacillus fusiformis on hormonal, antioxidant, and physio-molecular regulation in soybean plants to reduce the effects of drought stress. Therefore, ten randomly selected isolates were subjected to various plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) traits and a polyethylene-glycol (PEG)-resistance test. Among these, PLT16 tested positive for the production of exopolysaccharide (EPS), siderophore, and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), along with higher PEG tolerance, in vitro IAA, and organic-acid production. Therefore, PLT16 was further used in combination with MET to visualize the role in drought-stress mitigation in soybean plant. Furthermore, drought stress significantly damages photosynthesis, enhances ROS production, and reduces water stats, hormonal signaling and antioxidant enzymes, and plant growth and development. However, the co-application of MET and PLT16 enhanced plant growth and development and improved photosynthesis pigments (chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids) under both normal conditions and drought stress. This may be because hydrogen-peroxide (H2O2), superoxide-anion (O2-), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were reduced and antioxidant activities were enhanced to maintain redox homeostasis and reduce the abscisic-acid (ABA) level and its biosynthesis gene NCED3 while improving the synthesis of jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) to mitigate drought stress and balance the stomata activity to maintain the relative water states. This may be possible due to a significant increase in endo-melatonin content, regulation of organic acids, and enhancement of nutrient uptake (calcium, potassium, and magnesium) by co-inoculated PLT16 and MET under normal conditions and drought stress. In addition, co-inoculated PLT16 and MET modulated the relative expression of DREB2 and TFs bZIP while enhancing the expression level of ERD1 under drought stress. In conclusion, the current study found that the combined application of melatonin and Lysinibacillus fusiformis inoculation increased plant growth and could be used to regulate plant function during drought stress as an eco-friendly and low-cost approach.

Abstract
The mutualistic coexistence between the host and endophyte is diverse and complex, including host growth regulation, the exchange of substances like nutrients or biostimulants, and protection from microbial or herbivore attack. The latter is commonly associated with the production by endophytes of bioactive natural products, which also possess multiple activities, including antibacterial, insecticidal, antioxidant, antitumor, and antidiabetic properties, making them interesting and valuable model substances for future development into drugs. The endophytes of higher plants have been extensively studied, but there is a dearth of information on the biodiversity of endophytic microorganisms associated with bryophytes and, more importantly, their bioactive metabolites. For the first time, we name bryophyte endophytes “bryendophytes” to elaborate on this important and productive source of biota. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the diversity of compounds produced by endophytes, emphasizing bioactive molecules from bryendophytes. Moreover, the isolation methods and biodiversity of bryendophytes from mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are described.

Abstract
Herbaspirillum sp. ZXN111 and its mutants (Δacc, Δtyrb, and Δacc-tyrb), which show PGP activity on Zijuan, were tested for tea plants' colonization characteristics and the strain-dependent response of tea metabolites. The results showed that strain ZXN111 could widely colonize in different tea cultivars of Zijuan, Yunkang-10, Longjin 43, and Shuchazao, but with significant colonization preference to Zijuan, which might be ascribed to anthocyanins' chemotaxis. After 9 weeks of co-cultivation, l-theanine and theobromine in Zijuan leaves that were inoculated with wild-type ZXN111 were decreased, while theobromine, caffeine, and l-theanine that were inoculated with mutant Δacc were increased; especially l-theanine increased much significantly. Metabolomics analysis showed that tea metabolite profiling of inoculant groups was clearly separated from the control; therein, the flavanols were downregulated in ZXN111 and Δacc groups, but the l-theanine of the Δacc group was significantly upregulated compared to control and ZXN111 groups. These results indicated that strain ZXN111, especially of mutant Δacc, improved Zijuan tea flavor.

Abstract
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is one of the most physiologically active auxins produced by rhizobacteria and is potentially applied for agriculture. Two endophytic bacteria, VR2 and MG9, isolated from the root of Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) collected at Cha-Am, and the leaf of Bruguiera cylindrica (L.) Blume collected from a mangrove forest at Ban Laem, Phetchaburi Province, Thailand, were taxonomic characterised based on their phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene analysis. Strain VR2 was closely related to Enterobacter hormaechei CIP 103441T (99.6% similarity), while strain MG9 was closely related to Bacillus aryabhattai B8W22T (99.9% similarity). Consequently, they were identified as Enterobacter hormaechei and Bacillus aryabhattai, respectively. The IAA production of VR2 and MG9 strains are determined and applied to rice seeds for their root and shoot germination. Strains VR2 and MG9 greatly produced a yield of IAA, 246.00 and 195.55 μg/mL in 1,000 μg/mL of L-tryptophan at pH 6 for 48 h. They showed no significant differences in IAA to root and shoot development. However, the bacterial IAA exhibited potential nearby synthetic IAA, which had a significant effect compared to the control. IAA produced from these two strains might preferably trim down the use of synthetic IAA and could contribute to sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
In this study, a new strain of Pantoea vagans, SRS89, was isolated from surface-sterilized stevia seeds. The isolate was evaluated using morphological, molecular, and biochemical methods. The bacterium was 1.5 μm long, yellowish in color, and classified as Gram-negative. Whole genome sequencing of our strain revealed the presence of a 4,610,019 bp chromosome, and genome annotation resulted in the detection of 4283 genes encoding 4204 putative coding sequences. Phylogenic analysis classified the genome of our strain close to the MP7 and LMG 24199 strains of P. vagans. Functional analysis showed that the highest number of genes within the analyzed bacterium genome were involved in transcription, amino acid transport and metabolism, and carbohydrate transport and metabolism. We also identified genes for enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids and terpenoids. Furthermore, we showed the presence of growth regulators, with the highest amount noted for gibberellic acid A3, indole-3-acetic acid, and benzoic acid. However, the most promising property of this strain is its ability to synthesize rebaudioside A; the estimated amount quantified using reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC was 4.39 mg/g of the dry weight of the bacteria culture. The isolated endophytic bacterium may be an interesting new approach to the production of this valuable metabolite.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endophytes are non-pathogenic inhabitants of healthy plant tissues and have been found to promote plant growth and health. The endophytic bacterial strain Q2H1 was isolated from the roots of the potato and was identified to exhibit growth-promoting effects in potato plants. METHODS Whole-genome sequencing was performed to reveal the mechanism underlying its growth-promoting effect. The obtained sequencing data of approximately 5.65 MB encompassed 5,533 coding sequences. Of note, nine secondary metabolite gene clusters, including siderophore gene clusters, closely associated with plant growth promotion (PGP) were predicted by antiSMASH software. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that Q2H1 belongs to the genus Peribacillus. By gene function annotation, those genes related to plant growth-promoting activities, including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis in tryptophan metabolism, siderophore biosynthetic activity, phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation, and related genes, were summarized. IAA (14.4 μg/ml) was presumptively produced by Q2H1 using the Salkowski colorimetric method. A total of five genes, namely, phoU, pstB, pstA1, pstC, and pstS, were annotated for phosphate solubilization, which is associated with the ability of the Q2H1 strain to solubilize phosphate under in vitro conditions. RESULTS It is revealed that genes in the Q2H1 genome associated with nitrogen fixation belonged to three groups, namely, nitrogen fixation (nifU, sufU, salA, and nifS), nitrogen metabolism (nirA, nrtB, and nasA), and glutamate synthesis (glnA, gltB, gltD, and gudB), supported by evidence that Q2H1 grew on medium without nitrogen. We have also identified a siderophore gene cluster located on the chromosome of Q2H1, including seven genes (viz., rbsR, rhbf, rhbE, rhbD, rhbC, rhbA, ddc, and an unknown gene). In the in vitro assay, a prominent brown circle around the colony was produced on the chrome azurol S medium at 48 and 72 h post-inoculation, indicating that the siderophore gene cluster in Q2H1 harbored the ability to produce siderophores. CONCLUSION In summary, these findings implied that identifying strain-specific genes for their metabolic pathways in bacterial endophytes may reveal a variety of significant functions of plant growth-promoting mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance poses a major threat to human health globally. Consequently, new antibiotics are desperately required to discover and develop from unexplored habitats to treat life-threatening infections. Microbial natural products (NP) are still remained as primary sources for the discovery of new antibiotics. Endophytic actinobacteria (EA) which are well-known producers of bioactive compounds could provide novel antibiotic against pathogenic bacteria. This research aimed to isolate EA from the Citrullus colocynthis plant and explore the antibacterial properties of their metabolites against pathogenic bacteria. RESULTS The healthy samples were collected, dissected and surface-sterilized before cultured on four different selection media at 28 °C. Six endophytic actinobacteria were isolated from Citrullus colocynthis plant. They were taxonomically classified into two family namely Streptomycetaceae and Nocardiopsaceae, based on colony morphological features, scanning electron microscope analysis and molecular identification of isolates. This is the first report on the identification of EA form Citrullus colocynthis and their antibacterial activity. The strains generated a chain of vibrio-comma, cubed or cylindrical shaped spores with indenting or smooth surfaces. Three of those were reported as endophytes for the first time. The strain KUMS-C1 showed 98.55% sequence similarity to its closely related strains which constitutes as a novel species/ strain for which the name Nocardiopsis colocynthis sp. was proposed for the isolated strain. Five isolated strains had antagonist activity against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli. Among those, stain KUMS-C6 showed the broadest spectrum of antibacterial activity against all test bacteria, whereas the strain KUMS-C4 had no antibacterial activity. CONCLUSIONS NPs have a long history of safe and efficient use for development of pharmaceutical products. Our study highlights that Citrullus colocynthis is an untapped source for the isolation of EA, generating novel and bioactive metabolites by which might lead to discovery of new antibiotic(s). This study reveals the future of new antibiotic developments looks bright against multi-drug resistance diseases by mining under- or unexplored habitats.

Abstract
Plants form associations with different microbes; some promote their growth and protect from biotic and abiotic stresses in different ways. However, the biological role of fungi associated with the rhizosphere of medicinal plants is not well explored. In the present study, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from the rhizosphere of Dillenia indica were screened for their phosphate solubilization and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production potential. The selected fungal strains were identified by macroscopic, microscopic, and molecular characteristics. Phosphate solubilization was qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated using Pikovskaya's (PVK) agar and PVK broth medium using different substrates such as AlPO4, Ca3(PO4)2, and FePO4. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Aspergillus fumigatus with respect to the phosphate source showed solubilization index (SI) of 1.7 ± 0.03 and 2.1 ± 0.04, and solubilized phosphate up to 138.8 ± 0.058 µg/mL and 121.6 ± 0.062 µg/mL. These fungal strains are also good producers of IAA and significantly enhance the growth of Vigna radiata and Cicer arietinum seedlings. This is the first report on A. fumigatus and C. gloeosporioides from the rhizosphere of Dillenia indica and their phosphate solubilization and IAA production ability.

Abstract
Endophytes are critical for plant growth and health. Tea is an economically important crop in China. However, little is known about the distribution pattern and potential functions of endophytic communities in tea trees. In this study, two genotypes (BXZ and MF) cultivated under the same conditions were selected, and endophytic bacteria and fungi were analyzed through 16S rRNA and ITS high-throughput sequencing technologies, respectively. For endophytic bacteria, root tissues harbored the most diverse endophytes, followed by stems and old leaves, and new leaves possessed the lowest diversity. In contrast, old leave tissues harbored more diverse endophytic fungi than did root and stem tissues. Most of the dominant endophytes showed obvious cultivar and tissue preferences. Tissue type played a more important role in shaping community structure than did cultivar. Nevertheless, some endophytic bacterial groups, which mainly affiliated to Chryseobacterium, Sphingomonas, Rhizobium, Morganella, Methylobacterium and Comamonadaceae, could parasitize different tissues, and the average relative abundance of endophytic bacteria was as high as 72.57%. Some endophytic fungal populations, such as Colletotrichum, Uwebraunia, Cladosporium, and Devriesia, could also parasitize tea, and the relative abundance accounted for approximately 25.70–97.26%. The cooperative relationship between endophytic bacteria and fungi in the new leaves was stronger than that in the old leaves, which can better participate in the metabolism of tea material.

Fungal disease suppression and growth promotion potential of endophytic bacteria from ethnomedicinal plants. Arch Microbiol 2022; 204:539. [PMID: 35927385 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-022-03136-w] [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: 04/21/2022] [Revised: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
103 bacterial isolates obtained from 8 ethnomedicinal plants in Manipur, India were studied for antifungal and plant growth promoting (PGP) activities. Forty-six (46), out of 62 antifungal isolates, showed potent activities against R. solani. Since R. solani (RS), a sheath blight pathogen, threatens rice yields worldwide, the present study was aimed at discovering promising bioinoculants with anti-RS and PGP potential on rice. Twenty-nine (29) endophytic isolates exhibiting promising anti-RS and PGP activities were subjected to seed vigor assays on rice (var. Jatra) and 16 were found to enhance rice seedling vigour by 70% or more over the control. Four (4) strains, Streptomyces sp. (AcRz21), Alkalihalobacillus sp. (PtL11), Bacillus sp. (TgIb5), and Priestia sp. (TgIb12) with the highest vigor indices were studied for growth promotion of rice in field conditions under pathogen-challenged and pathogen-free conditions. These bioactive strains were able to significantly enhance root and shoot biomass and reduce lesion heights caused by R. solani.

Abstract
Unlike that of other crops, the growth of tea plants can be promoted by aluminum, but its regulation mechanism remains unclear. Some endophytes can also promote growth of plant hosts. In this paper, tea roots treated with aluminum were used to study the growth-promoting traits and aluminum tolerance of endophytes. Meta-16S rDNA analysis revealed that Burkholderia was enriched in tea roots after aluminum treatment, and it was the dominant strain for hydroponic tea roots and field tea roots. Actinomycetes constituted the dominant strains in hydroponic tea seedlings treated with aluminum. Sixteen endophytic bacteria, including 12 strains of Firmicutes, 2 strains of Proteobacteria and 2 strains of Actinomycetes, were isolated and identified from hydroponic tea roots treated with different aluminum concentrations. Growth-promoting activity analysis showed that the isolated endophytic bacteria all had more than one plant growth-promoting trait. Among them, B4 (Bacillus nealsonii), B8 (Brevibacterium frigoritolerans) and A2 (Nocardia nova) bacteria each had three growth-promoting traits. Aluminum tolerance ability analysis indicated that endophyte A1 (Leifsonia shinshuensis) had the strongest aluminum tolerance ability, up to 200 mg l-1 aluminum. Plant-bacteria interactions showed that endophytes A1, A2 and B4 and their synthetic community all had a growth-promoting effect on the growth of wheat lateral roots. Moreover, endophytes A1 and B4 alleviated aluminum stress in wheat. Endophyte A1 also promoted the growth of tea cuttings, especially lateral roots, with/without aluminum. Taken together, aluminum enhanced the distribution of aluminum-tolerant and growth-promoting bacteria, thereby promoting the growth of tea roots. This study provides a new aspect for research on the mechanism by which aluminum promotes tea plant growth.

Abstract
Increasing evidence shows that plant Endophytes play a crucial role in the fitness and productivity of hosts. Surface sterilization is an indispensable process before high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and tissue separation of plant endophytes, but its potential impact on the composition and diversity of endophytes has rarely been investigated. In the present work, the influence of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) on the diversity of endophytic bacteria and fungi in leaves and stems of tea plants was investigated. We found that the diversity of bacterial endophytes was significantly affected by the concentration of NaClO as well as the pretreatment time. Pretreatment with 0.5% NaClO for 8 min and 2.0% NaClO for 3 min were suitable for the tea plant leaves and stems, respectively, but the effects of NaClO on the diversity of fungal endophytes were limited according to the results from HTS. Regardless of NaClO sterilization, most of the endophytes in tissues, such as the dominant taxa, could not be Isolated by using the regular culture-dependent approaches. Collectively, our results demonstrated that the pretreatment with NaClO should be modified to precisely understand the diversity of endophytes from different tissues of tea plants and also indicate that more attention should be paid to establish specific culture-dependent protocols for the isolation of plant endophytes.

Abstract
Herbaspirillum aquaticum ZXN111 which was isolated from the tea plant Zijuan can produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and contain abiotic-stress tolerance gene 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (accd). In this study, ZXN111 PGP activity and the molecular mechanism were investigated. The result showed that ACCD activity of wild-type ZXN111 was 0.4505 mM α-KB/mg·Pro·h, but mutants Δacc and Δacc-tyrb did not showed ACCD activity. IAA production by ZXN111 within 48 hrs was 20.4 μg/mL, while mutants of Δtyrb and Δacc-tyrb were lower than 3.6 μg/mL, indicating that indole-3-pyruvic acid is the primary IAA synthesis pathway. Potting tests found that ZXN111 displayed significant PGP activity to the tea plant Zijuan, but Δtyrb and Δacc-tyrb did not show PGP activity, indicating that IAA is critical to PGP activity. In a salt-stress test, ZXN111 did not enhance the tea plant NaCl tolerance by gene accd. The results of this study indicated that strain ZXN111 has potential for biofertilizer development on tea plantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cassava (Manibot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important among tuber crops. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer used for cassava production is relatively high (400 kg ha-1), but there are few studies on biological nitrogen fixation in this crop. Therefore, it is particularly important to study whether cassava and microorganisms have the associated nitrogen-fixing and other promoting effects of endophytic bacteria. METHODS We screened 10 endophytic bacteria using the nitrogen-free culture method from the roots of seven cassava cultivars, and the nitrogenase activity of the A02 strain was the highest 95.81 nmol mL-1 h-1. The A02 strain was confirmed as Microbacteriaceae, Curtobacterium using 16S rRNA sequence alignment. The biological and morphological characteristics of strain A02 were further analyzed. RESULTS The experimental results showed that the biomass of roots, stems, and leaves of cassava inoculated with A02 increased by 17.6%, 12.6%, and 10.3%, respectively, compared to that of the control (without A02 inoculation). These results were not only related to the secretion of auxin (IAA) and solubilization of phosphate but also in the promotion of biological nitrogen fixation of cassava leaves by strain A02. Moreover, the highest 95.81 nmol mL-1h-1 of nitrogenase activity was reported in strain A02, and thus more nitrogen fixation was observed in strain A02. In conclusion, A02 is a newly discovered endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in cassava that can be further used in the research of biological bacterial fertilizers.

Abstract
Worldwide, heavy metals pollution is mostly caused by rapid population growth and industrial development which is accumulated in food webs causing a serious public health risk. Endophytic microorganisms have a variety of mechanisms for metal sequestration having metal biosorption capacities.Endophytic organisms like bacteria and fungi provide beneficial qualities that help plants to improve their health, reduce stress, and detoxify metals. Endophytes have a higher proclivity for improving metal and mineral solubility by cells that secrete low-molecular-weight organic acids and metal-specific ligands like siderophores, which change the pH of the soil and improve binding activity. Protein-related approaches like chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA test) can represent endophytic bacterial community and DNA-protein interactions during metal reduction. This review explored the role of endophytes in bioremediation approaches that can help in analyzing the potential and prospects in response to industrial effluents' detoxification.

Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis) is perhaps the most popular and economic beverage in the globe due to its distinctive fragrance and flavour generated by the leaves of commercially farmed tea plants. The tea microbiome has now become a prominent topic of attention for microbiologists in recent years as it can help the plant for soil nutrient acquisition as well as stress management. Tea roots are well known to be colonized by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and many other beneficial microorganisms that boost the growth of the tea which increases leaf amino acids, protein, caffeine, and polyphenols content. One of the primary goals of rhizosphere microbial biology is to aid in the establishment of agricultural systems that provide high quantities of the food supply while minimizing environmental effects and anthropogenic activities. The present review is aimed to highlight the importance of microbes (along with their phylogeny) derived from cultivated and natural tea rhizospheres to understand the role of AMF and rhizospheric bacterial population to improve plant growth, enhancement of tea quality, and protecting tea plants from pathogens. This review also summarizes recent advances in our understanding of the diversity and profile of tea-associated bacteria. The utilization of the tea microbiome as a "natural resource" could provide holistic development in tea cultivation to ensure sustainability, highlighting knowledge gaps and future microbiome research.

Abstract
Bacterial leaf streak (BLS) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), impacts the production of rice. However, several rice cultivars displayed resistance to Xoc in the field, but scarce information is available about the role of endophytic microbiota in disease resistance. In the present study, the endophytic bacterial communities of resistant and susceptible rice cultivars "CG2" and "IR24", respectively, were analyzed using high throughput 16S rRNA gene amplified sequencing and culture dependent method was further used for bacterial isolation. A total of 452,716 high-quality sequences representing 132 distinct OTUs (Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes) and 46 isolates of 16 genera were explored from rice leaves infected with Xoc. Community diversity of endophytic bacteria were higher in the leaves of the resistant cultivars compared to susceptible cultivars upon Xoc infection. Strikingly, this diversity might contribute to natural defense of the resistant cultivar against pathogen. Pantoea, which is pathogen antagonist, was frequently detected in two cultivars and higher abundance were recorded in resistant cultivars. Different abundance genus includes endophytic isolates with marked antagonistic activity to Xoc. The increased proportions of antagonistic bacteria, may contribute to resistance of rice cultivar against Xoc and the Pantoea genus was recruited by Xoc infection play a key role in suppressing the development of BLS disease in rice. Taken together, this work reveals the association between endophytic bacteria and BLS resistance in rice and identification of antagonism-Xoc bacterial communities in rice.

Abstract
Oregano from Socoroma (Atacama Desert) is characterized by its unique organoleptic properties and distinctive flavor and it is produced using ancestral pesticide-free agricultural practices performed by the Aymara communities. The cultivation in this zone is carried out under extreme conditions where the standard production of different crops is limited by several environmental factors, including aridity, high concentration of salts, and boron among others. However, oregano plants are associated with microorganisms that mitigate biotic and abiotic stresses present in this site. In this work, the S57 strain (member of the Pseudomonas genus that is closely related to Pseudomonas lini) was isolated from roots of oregano plants, which are grown in soils with high content of non-sodium salts and aluminum. This bacterium stimulates the growth of Micro-Tom tomato plants irrigated with saline-boric water. Moreover, it controls the growth of phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea and the nematode Meloidogyne incognita under saline-boric conditions. Together with the high levels of bacterial biomass (~47 g/L), these results allow the establishment of the bases for developing a potential new agricultural bioproduct useful for arid and semiarid environments where commercial biological products show erratic behavior.

Abstract
Zijuan tea (Camellia sinensis var. assamica cv. Zijuan) is a unique purple tea. Recently, purple tea has drawn much attention for its special flavor and health benefits. However, the characteristic compounds of purple tea compared with green tea have not been reported yet. The present study employed a non-targeted metabolomics approach based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-Orbitrap-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for comprehensive analysis of characteristic metabolites between Zijuan purple tea (ZJT) and Yunkang green tea (YKT). Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) indicated that there are significant differences in chemical profiles between ZJT and YKT. A total of 66 major differential metabolites included catechins, proanthocyanins, flavonol and flavone glycosides, phenolic acids, amino acids and alkaloids were identified in ZJT. Among them, anthocyanins are the most characteristic metabolites. Nine glycosides of anthocyanins and six glycosides of proanthocyanins were found to be significantly higher in ZJT than that in YKT. Subsequently, pathway analysis revealed that ZJT might generate anthocyanins and proanthocyanins through the flavonol and flavone glycosides. Furthermore, quantitative analysis showed absolutely higher concentrations of total anthocyanins in ZJT, which correlated with the metabolomics results. This study presented the comprehensive chemical profiling and the characterized metabolites of ZJT. These results also provided chemical evidence for potential health functions of ZJT.

Abstract
Endophytic bacteria colonize plants and live inside them for part of or throughout their life without causing any harm or disease to their hosts. The symbiotic relationship improves the physiology, fitness, and metabolite profile of the plants, while the plants provide food and shelter for the bacteria. The bacteria-induced alterations of the plants offer many possibilities for biotechnological, medicinal, and agricultural applications. The endophytes promote plant growth and fitness through the production of phytohormones or biofertilizers, or by alleviating abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Strengthening of the plant immune system and suppression of disease are associated with the production of novel antibiotics, secondary metabolites, siderophores, and fertilizers such as nitrogenous or other industrially interesting chemical compounds. Endophytic bacteria can be used for phytoremediation of environmental pollutants or the control of fungal diseases by the production of lytic enzymes such as chitinases and cellulases, and their huge host range allows a broad spectrum of applications to agriculturally and pharmaceutically interesting plant species. More recently, endophytic bacteria have also been used to produce nanoparticles for medical and industrial applications. This review highlights the biotechnological possibilities for bacterial endophyte applications and proposes future goals for their application.

Abstract
Bacteria play an integral role in shaping plant growth and development. However, the genetic factors that facilitate plant-bacteria interactions remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated the importance of two bacterial genetic factors that facilitate the interactions between plant-growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria in the genus Caulobacter and the host plant Arabidopsis. Using homologous recombination, we disrupted the cytochrome ubiquinol oxidase (cyo) operon in both C. vibrioides CB13 and C. segnis TK0059 by knocking out the expression of cyoB (critical subunit of the cyo operon) and showed that the mutant strains were unable to enhance the growth of Arabidopsis. In addition, disruption of the cyo operon, metabolomic reconstructions, and pH measurements suggested that both elevated cyoB expression and acid production by strain CB13 contribute to the previously observed inhibition of Arabidopsis seed germination. We also showed that the crescent shape of the PGP bacterial strain C. crescentus CB15 contributes to its ability to enhance plant growth. Thus, we have identified specific genetic factors that explain how select Caulobacter strains interact with Arabidopsis plants.

Grazing Affects Bacterial and Fungal Diversities and Communities in the Rhizosphere and Endosphere Compartments of Leymus chinensis through Regulating Nutrient and Ion Distribution.

Abstract
Plant-associated endophytic microorganisms are essential to developing successful strategies for sustainable agriculture. Grazing is an effective practice of grassland utilization through regulating multitrophic relationships in natural grasslands. This study was conducted for exploring the effects of grazing on the diversities and communities of bacteria and fungi presented in rhizosphere soils, roots, stems, and leaves of Leymus chinensis (L. chinensis), based on high-throughput sequencing. Grazing increased bacterial diversity but reduced fungal diversity in plant leaves. Further analysis confirmed that the abundance of Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadota, Nitrospirota, Sordariales, and Pezizales in plant leaves was increased by grazing. The Bray-Curtis similarities of microbial communities in the endosphere were higher under grazing plots than non-grazing plots. Moreover, the bacterial communities were significantly correlated with ions, while the nutrient and negative ions exhibited strong influence on fungal communities. We concluded that grazing-induced changes of microbial diversities and communities in different compartments of a dominant perennial grass (L. chinensis) could be attributed to the nutrient and ion distribution in host plant. The current study highlights the importance of livestock in mediating diversities and communities of endophytic microbes, and will be useful for better understanding the complexity of multitrophic interactions in a grassland ecosystem.

Abstract
Cigar tobacco leaves (CTLs) contain abundant bacteria and fungi that are vital to leaf quality during fermentation. In this study, artificial fermentation was used for the fermentation of CTLs since it was more controllable and efficient than natural aging. The bacterial and fungal community structure and composition in unfermented and fermented CTLs were determined to understand the effects of microbes on the characteristics of CTLs during artificial fermentation. The relationship between the chemical contents and alterations in the microbial composition was evaluated, and the functions of bacteria and fungi in fermented CTLs were predicted to determine the possible metabolic pathways. After artificial fermentation, the bacterial and fungal community structure significantly changed in CTLs. The total nitrate and nicotine contents were most readily affected by the bacterial and fungal communities, respectively. FAPROTAX software predictions of the bacterial community revealed increases in functions related to compound transformation after fermentation. FUNGuild predictions of the fungal community revealed an increase in the content of saprotrophic fungi after fermentation. These data provide information regarding the artificial fermentation mechanism of CTLs and will inform safety and quality improvements.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using endophytic bacteria is a safe alternative to the traditional chemical method. The purpose of this research is to biosynthesize AgNPs using endophytic bacterium Bacillus endophyticus strain H3 isolated from onion. The biosynthesized AgNPs with sizes from 4.17 to 26.9 nm were confirmed and characterized by various physicochemical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in addition to an energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) profile. The biosynthesized AgNPs at a concentration of 40 μg/mL had a strong antifungal activity against rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae with an inhibition rate of 88% in mycelial diameter. Moreover, the biosynthesized AgNPs significantly inhibited spore germination and appressorium formation of M. oryzae. Additionally, microscopic observation showed that mycelia morphology was swollen and abnormal when dealing with AgNPs. Overall, the current study revealed that AgNPs could protect rice plants against fungal infections.

Abstract
Arica and Parinacota Region is located at the extreme north of the Atacama Desert, where the high levels of salts and boron, lack of rain, high UV radiation, among other conditions, make this zone an extreme environment. Despite these characteristics, in the transversal valleys, different types of crops are cultivated in this region, which are associated to beneficial microorganisms with specific traits that allow plants surviving and developing under extreme conditions. However, there is incomplete information related to these microorganisms. In this work, bacteria associated with ancestral crops were isolated from oregano, alfalfa, maize, potato, and grapevine samples from Belén, Codpa, Molinos, Poconchile and Socoroma localities, representing the first report of these microorganisms in those sites. Bacteria were identified, being γ-Proteobacteria, the most frequent class (~ 74.4%), with members of Pseudomonas genus the most common isolated genus. All bacteria were functionally characterized for plant growth-promoting activities, including siderophores and auxins production, phosphate solubilization, and nitrogen fixation, revealing an extraordinary potential from these microorganisms for agricultural applications under arid and semiarid conditions.

Abstract
Endophytic fungi and bacteria are the most ubiquitous and representative commensal members that have been studied so far in various higher plants. Within colonization and interaction with their host plants, endophytic microbiota are reportedly to modulate not only the host's growth but also holobiont resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses, providing a natural reservoir and a promising solution for sustainable agricultural development challenged by global climate change. Moreover, possessing the talent to produce a wide array of high-value natural products, plant endophytic microbiota also serve as an alternative way for novel drug discovery. In this review, tea, one of the world's three largest nonalcoholic beverages and a worldwide economic woody crop, was highlighted in the context of endophytic microbiota. We explore the recent studies regarding isolation approaches, distribution characteristics and diversity, and also biological functions of endophytic microbiota in Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze. Profoundly, the future insight into interaction mechanism between endophytic microbiota and tea plants will shed light on in-depth exploration of tea microbial resources.

Abstract
Lycoris radiata is the major source of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, having various medicinal activities. However, the low content of these alkaloids in planta limits their pharmaceutical development and utilization. In this study, the ability of bacterial endophytes to enhance the accumulation of five important Amaryllidaceae alkaloids was investigated. A total of 188 bacterial endophytes were isolated from L. radiata and their composition and diversity were analyzed. Fourteen ones were demonstrated to significantly increase the concentration of the alkaloids of interest in different organs, up to 11.1-fold over the control level, with no adverse influence on the plant growth. An additional 3 bacterial endophytes were found to significantly increase the dry weight of L. radiata with no adverse influence on the concentration of the alkaloids in planta, so the total yield of alkaloids in planta was increased up to 2.4-fold over the control level. Considering the plant growth-promoting abilities of these bacterial endophytes, it is speculated that the indole-3-acetic acid and siderophore secreted by them, combined with their nitrogen fixation ability, may contribute to the enhanced plant growth and the increased alkaloid accumulation in L. radiata. To our knowledge, this work is firstly defining the diversity of culturable bacterial endophytes in L. radiata and determining which species promoted the accumulation of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids. It provides several valuable bacterial inoculants that can be further applied to improve alkaloid production in L. radiata and broadens our understanding of the interactions between a medicinal plant and the bacterial endophytes.

Abstract
Endophytic bacteria have been reported to have symbiotic, mutualistic, commensalistic or trophobiotic relationships with various plant parts. As part of its adaptation, many endophytic organisms are known to exhibit properties with multiple beneficial effects to the plant system. Even though many bacterial genera have been identified to have endophytic association, isolation of those which were previously demonstrated well for human association is quite interesting. In the study, endophytic bacteria Ceb1 isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Staphylococcus sp. Further, Ceb1 was observed to have the ability to tolerate drought stress. While screening for the plant growth-promoting traits, Ceb1 was found to be positive for IAA production both under drought-stressed and normal conditions as confirmed by HPLC. The Ceb1 priming with Vigna unguiculata was observed to enhance the growth parameters of the plant. Analysis of Ceb1-treated plants by ICP-MS further showed modulation of both macro- and micronutrients. Upon drought stress induction in Vigna unguiculata, Ceb1 was found to provide synergistic plant growth-promoting effect to the plant along with the supplemented silicate sources. Under the changing agroclimatic conditions, exploring the plant stress-alleviating effects of endophytes is highly significant.

Abstract
Background Diet and exercise play important roles in ameliorating metabolic syndrome. Yunkang 10 (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) is a most cultivated tea variety for making tea in the Southwestern China. Currently, there is no report of healthy effects of Yunkang 10 green tea (YKGT) and treadmill exercise (Ex) on high fat diet induced metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to investigate the beneficial effects and molecular mechanism of YKGT and Ex using high fat diet induced MetS of C57BL/6 mice. Methods Catechins and caffeine in water extract of YKGT were measured via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). 10-week old mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks to induce obese mice. Then the obese mice were fed with continuous high fat diet (HFD), HFD with YKGT, HFD with Ex, and HFD with both YKGT and Ex for 8 weeks, respectively. The another group of 10-week old mice fed with low fat diet (LFD) were used as control. Results HPLC data revealed that YKGT has abundantly high concentration of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and caffeine compared to Longjing 43 (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis) green tea. YKGT and Ex significantly decreased the level of blood glucose, serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), insulin, and alanine aminotransferase activity (ALT) when compared to HFD group. The fatty liver and hepatic pro-inflammatory gene expression in the YKGT, Ex and YKGT+Ex groups was mitigated significantly compared with HFD group, respectively. The phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase α/β (IKKα/β) and inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B α (IkBα) protein in the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) signaling pathway was also decreased in YKGT or YKGT+Ex groups. The combination of YKGT and Ex prevented gene expression for lipid synthesis in the liver tissue, and significantly upregulated mRNA level of glucose transport genes in the skeletal muscles, when compared to the HFD group. Conclusions This study demonstrated that YKGT supplement or exercise appeared to reverse preexisting metabolic syndrome, and effectively relieved the fatty liver and hepatic inflammatory response induced by high fat diet. YKGT supplement and treadmill exercise together had better beneficial effects than only one intervention.

Abstract
Salinity stress is one of the key constraints for sustainable crop production. It has gained immense importance in the backdrop of climate change induced imbalanced terrestrial water budgets. The traditional agronomic approaches and breeding salt-tolerant genotypes have often proved insufficient to alleviate salinity stress. Newer approaches like the use of bacterial endophytes associated with agricultural crops have occupied center place recently, owing to their advantageous role in improving crop growth, health and yield. Research evidences have revealed that bacterial endophytes can promote plant growth by accelerating availability of mineral nutrients, helping in production of phytohormones, siderophores, and enzymes, and also by activating systemic resistance against insect pest and pathogens in plants. These research developments have opened an innovative boulevard in agriculture for capitalizing bacterial endophytes, single species or consortium, to enhance plant salt tolerance capabilities, and ultimately lead to translational refinement of crop-production business under salty environments. This article reviews the latest research progress on the identification and functional characterization of salt tolerant endophytic bacteria and illustrates various mechanisms triggered by them for plant growth promotion under saline environment.

Abstract
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an imperative phytohormone for plant growth and development. Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) are able to produce IAA. However, only a few studies on IAA biosynthesis pathways in ECM fungi have been reported. This study aimed to investigate the IAA biosynthesis pathway of six ECM cultures including Astraeus odoratus, Gyrodon suthepensis, Phlebopus portentosus, Pisolithus albus, Pisolithus orientalis and Scleroderma suthepense. The results showed that all ECM fungi produced IAA in liquid medium that had been supplemented with L-tryptophan. Notably, fungal IAA levels vary for different fungal species. The detection of indole-3-lactic acid and indole-3-ethanol in the crude culture extracts of all ECM fungi indicated an enzymatic reduction of indole-3-pyruvic acid and indole-3-acetaldehyde, respectively in the IAA biosynthesis via the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway. Moreover, the tryptophan aminotransferase activity confirmed that all ECM fungi synthesize IAA through the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway. Additionally, the elongation of rice and oat coleoptiles was stimulated by crude culture extract. This is the first report of the biosynthesis pathway of IAA in the tested ECM fungi.

Isolation, Screening, and Characterization of Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacteria from Durum Wheat Rhizosphere to Improve N and P Nutrient Use Efficiency. Microorganisms 2019; 7:E541. [PMID: 31717409 PMCID: PMC6920805 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms7110541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2019] [Revised: 11/01/2019] [Accepted: 11/04/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The main goal of this paper was to select promising microorganisms which could potentially act as plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) for durum wheat of Foggia County. At this scope, a new statistical framework, based on multivariate analyses and the evaluation of the statistical distribution of each trait, was used. Four hundred and seventy-four isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere of durum wheat in Foggia County and preliminarily screened as a function of four target indices (ammonium production, siderophores production, P-solubilization, and nitrification). After this step, the number of strains was reduced and the remaining isolates were tested through a quantitative approach, to assess the production of IAA (indole acetic acid), P-mineralization, and nitrification. In this second step, the cut-off was based on the whole population trend by evaluating for each trait the medians and quartiles. As a result, 16 promising isolates were selected and identified by 16S rDNA sequencing (Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, and Lysinibacillus). The last step of this research was a preliminary validation in a growth chamber on eight strains. As screening and simple indices, two quantitative measures were chosen. The main result was the selection of at least three isolates (6P, 20P, and 25A) for a future field validation. They increased biomass and height by respectively 50% and 25%.

Abstract
AIM Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) is an economically important caffeine-containing beverage crop with massive plantation in the Northeast corner of the agroclimatic belt of India. The main aim of the work was to isolate, identify and characterize the native plant growth promoting endophytes associated with tea for future microbe based bioformulation. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 129 endophytic bacteria were isolated and characterized for plant growth promoting traits such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), phosphate solubilization, ammonia production, biocontrol traits like siderophore and extracellular enzyme production. BOX-PCR fingerprinting was used to differentiate the various bacterial isolates obtained from six different tea species. 16S rRNA sequencing and blast analysis showed that these isolates belonged to different genera, that is, Bacillus, Brevibacterium, Paenibacillus and Lysinibacillus. Lysinibacillus sp. S24 showed the highest phosphate solubilization and IAA acid production efficiency of 268·4 ± 14·3 and 13·5 ± 0·5 µg ml-1 , respectively. Brevibacterium sp. S91 showed the highest ammonia production of 6·2 ± 0·5 µmol ml-1 . Chitinase, cellulase, protease and pectinase activities were shown by 4·6, 34·1, 27·13 and 13·14% of the total isolates, respectively. Similarly, 41% of the total isolates were positive for 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity. Further, the potent PGP isolates, S24 and S91 were able to enhance the vegetative parameters such as dry/fresh weight of root and shoot of tea plants in nursery conditions. CONCLUSION Our findings corroborate that tea endophytic bacteria possess the potential to demonstrate multiple PGP traits both, in vivo and in vitro and have the potential for further large-scale trials. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The exploration of tea endophytic bacterial community is suitable for the development of bioformulations for an integrated nutrient management and thus sustainable crop production and decreasing the hazardous effects of chemical fertilizers on the environment and human health.
