Exogenous phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria changed the rhizosphere microbial community indirectly.

ABSTRACT: Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) have been widely used as biological fertilizer. However, its impact on the local microbial community has less been known. In this study, a mixture of PSB was inoculated into the tomato growth alone or combined with manure fertilizer. The growth parameter results showed that the combination use of PSB and compost could significantly increase the tomato growth and yield. The use of PSB could significantly increase pH, available phosphorus and several kinds of trace elements both in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil. The quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing results showed that the inoculated PSB did not become the dominant strains in the rhizosphere. However, the soil bacterial community structure was changed. The relative abundance of several indigenous bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, decreased, while the population of several bacteria, including Bacillus, Anaerolineaceae, Cytophagaceae, and Gemmationadaceae, increased. The redundancy analysis result showed that the soil properties had a great influence on the indigenous microbial community. In conclusion, the inoculated PSB could not colonize in the soil with a single inoculation. The PSB secreted small molecular organic acids to dissolve inorganic phosphorus and changed the soil properties, which changed the rhizosphere microbial community indirectly.

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria stimulate wheat rhizosphere and endosphere biological nitrogen fixation by improving phosphorus content.

Project description:Phosphate (P) availability often limits biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) by diazotrophic bacteria. In soil, only 0.1% of the total P is available for plant uptake. P solubilizing bacteria can convert insoluble P to plant-available soluble P (ionic P and low molecular-weight organic P). However, limited information is available about the effects of synergistic application of diazotrophic bacteria and P solubilizing bacteria on the nitrogenase activity of rhizosphere and nifH expression of endosphere. In this study, we investigated the effects of co-inoculation with a diazotrophic bacterium (Paenibacillus beijingensis BJ-18) and a P-solubilizing bacterium (Paenibacillus sp. B1) on wheat growth, plant and soil total N, plant total P, soil available P, soil nitrogenase activity and the relative expression of nifH in plant tissues. Co-inoculation significantly increased plant biomass (length, fresh and dry weight) and plant N content (root: 27%, shoot: 30%) and P content (root: 63%, shoot: 30%). Co-inoculation also significantly increased soil total N (12%), available P (9%) and nitrogenase activity (69%) compared to P. beijingensis BJ-18 inoculation alone. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed co-inoculation doubled expression of nifH genes in shoots and roots. Soil nitrogenase activity and nifH expression within plant tissues correlated with P content of soil and plant tissues, which suggests solubilization of P by Paenibacillus sp. B1 increased N fixation in soils and the endosphere. In conclusion, P solubilizing bacteria generally improved soil available P and plant P uptake, and considerably stimulated BNF in the rhizosphere and endosphere of wheat seedlings.

Root exudate-derived compounds stimulate the phosphorus solubilizing ability of bacteria.

Project description:Low phosphorus (P) availability in soils is a major challenge for sustainable food production, as most soil P is often unavailable for plant uptake and effective strategies to access this P are limited. Certain soil occurring bacteria and root exudate-derived compounds that release P are in combination promising tools to develop applications that increase phosphorus use efficiency in crops. Here, we studied the ability of root exudate compounds (galactinol, threonine, and 4-hydroxybutyric acid) induced under low P conditions to stimulate the ability of bacteria to solubilize P. Galactinol, threonine, and 4-hydroxybutyric acid were incubated with the P solubilizing bacterial strains Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes, and Bacillus thuringiensis under either inorganic (calcium phosphate) or organic (phytin) forms of plant-unavailable P. Overall, we found that the addition of individual root exudate compounds did not support bacterial growth rates. However, root exudates supplemented to the different bacterial appeared to enhance P solubilizing activity and overall P availability. Threonine and 4-hydroxybutyric acid induced P solubilization in all three bacterial strains. Subsequent exogenous application of threonine to soils improved the root growth of corn, enhanced nitrogen and P concentrations in roots and increased available levels of potassium, calcium and magnesium in soils. Thus, it appears that threonine might promote the bacterial solubilization and plant-uptake of a variety of nutrients. Altogether, these findings expand on the function of exuded specialized compounds and propose alternative approaches to unlock existing phosphorus reservoirs of P in crop lands.

Phosphate-solubilizing Bacteria from Safflower Rhizosphere and their Effect on Seedling Growth.

Project description:Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can convert insoluble rhizosphere phosphorus into forms that are absorbable by plants and thus enhance the growth of plants. Safflower is a cash crop that is a source of vegetable oils, food coloring and flavoring agents. This study sought to isolate PSB in safflower rhizosphere soil and investigate their effects on seedling growth. The isolated PSB were identified as belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Sinorhizobium, Staphylococcus, Acinetobacter and Enterobacter using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Acinetobacter sp RC04. showed the best performance in phosphate solubilization, with the efficiency of the process being influenced by carbon source, nitrogen source, cultivation temperature and initial culture pH. Acinetobacter sp. RC04 and Sinorhizobium sp. RC02 showed the ability to improve safflower seed germination and, when co-inoculated, improved seedling growth. Hence, we suggest that Acinetobacter sp. RC04 and Sinorhizobium sp. RC02 could be developed for field application to promote safflower growth. The results from this study will help drive novel biofertilizer discovery and could be included in integrated nutrient management regimes for safflower and other important economic crops.

Using Rhizosphere Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria to Improve Barley (Hordeum vulgare) Plant Productivity.

Project description:On average less than 1% of the total phosphorous present in soils is available to plants, making phosphorous one of the most limiting macronutrients for crop productivity worldwide. The aim of this work was to isolate and select phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from the barley rhizosphere, which has other growth promoting traits and can increase crop productivity. A total of 104 different bacterial isolates were extracted from the barley plant rhizosphere. In this case, 64 strains were able to solubilize phosphate in agar plates. The 24 strains exhibiting the highest solubilizing index belonged to 16 different species, of which 7 isolates were discarded since they were identified as putative phytopathogens. The remaining nine strains were tested for their ability to solubilize phosphate in liquid medium and in pot trials performed in a greenhouse. Several of the isolated strains (Advenella mimigardefordensis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium and Burkholderia fungorum) were able to significantly improve levels of assimilated phosphate, dry weight of ears and total starch accumulated on ears compared to non-inoculated plants. Since these strains were able to increase the growth and productivity of barley crops, they could be potentially used as microbial inoculants (biofertilizers).

Profiling of Plant Growth-Promoting Metabolites by Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria in Maize Rhizosphere.

Project description:Microbial treatment has recently been attracting attention as a sustainable agricultural strategy addressing the current problems caused by unreasonable agricultural practices. However, the mechanism through which microbial inoculants promote plant growth is not well understood. In this study, two phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) were screened, and their growth-promoting abilities were explored. At day 7 (D7), the lengths of the root and sprout with three microbial treatments, M16, M44, and the combination of M16 and M44 (Com), were significantly greater than those with the non-microbial control, with mean values of 9.08 and 4.73, 7.15 and 4.83, and 13.98 and 5.68 cm, respectively. At day 14 (D14), M16, M44, and Com significantly increased not only the length of the root and sprout but also the underground and aboveground biomass. Differential metabolites were identified, and various amino acids, amino acid derivatives, and other plant growth-regulating molecules were significantly enhanced by the three microbial treatments. The profiling of key metabolites associated with plant growth in different microbial treatments showed consistent results with their performances in the germination experiment, which revealed the metabolic mechanism of plant growth-promoting processes mediated by screened PSB. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of PSB in sustainable agriculture.

Phosphorus-Solubilizing Capacity of <i>Mortierella</i> Species Isolated from Rhizosphere Soil of a Poplar Plantation.

Project description:Phosphorus is one of the main nutrients necessary for plant growth and development. Phosphorus-dissolving microorganisms may convert insoluble phosphorus in soil into available phosphorus that plants can easily absorb and utilize. In this study, four phosphorus-solubilizing fungi (L3, L4, L5, and L12) were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a poplar plantation in Dongtai, Jiangsu Province, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) of the ribosomal DNA sequences showed that the ITS and 28S sequences of isolates were the most similar to those of Mortierella. Morphological observation showed that most colonies grew in concentric circles and produced spores under different culture conditions. These results and further microscopic observations showed that these isolated fungi belonged to the genus Mortierella. Pikovskaya (PKO) medium, in which tricalcium phosphate was the sole phosphorus source, was used to screen strain L4 with the best phosphorus-solubilizing effect for further study. When the carbon source was glucose, the nitrogen source was ammonium chloride, the pH was 5, and the available phosphorus content was the highest. By exploring the possible mechanism of phosphorus release by phosphorus-solubilizing fungi, it was found that strain L4 produces several organic acids, such as oxalic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, and citric acid. At 24 h, the alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase activities reached 154.72 mol/(L·h) and 120.99 mol/(L·h), respectively.

Coupling Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria with Phosphorus Supplements Improve Maize Phosphorus Acquisition and Growth under Lime Induced Salinity Stress.

Project description:Global warming promotes soil calcification and salinization processes. As a result, soil phosphorus (P) is becoming deficient in arid and semiarid areas throughout the world. In this pot study, we evaluated the potential of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) for enhancing the growth and P uptake in maize under varying levels of lime (4.8%, 10%, 15% and 20%) and additional P supplements (farmyard manure, poultry manure, single super phosphate and rock phosphate) added at the rate of 45 mg P2O5 kg-1. Inoculation and application of P as organic manures (Poultry and farm yard manures) improved maize growth and P uptake compared to the control and soils with P applied from mineral sources. Liming adversely affected crop growth, but the use of PSB and organic manure significantly neutralized this harmful effect. Mineral P sources combined with PSB were as effective as the organic sources alone. Furthermore, while single supper phosphate showed better results than Rock phosphate, the latter performed comparably upon PSB inoculation. Thus, PSB plus P application as organic manures is an eco-friendly option to improve crop growth and P nutrition in a calcareous soil under changing climate.

Comprehensive effects of GmVP2-overexpression on plant growth, P-remobilization and rhizosphere microbial community

Project description:Increased root H+ secretion is known as a strategy of plant adaption to low phosphorus (P) stress by enhancing mobilization of sparingly soluble P-sources. However, it remains fragmentarywhether enhanced H+ exudation could reconstruct the plant rhizosphere microbial community under low P stress. The present study found that P deficiency led to enhanced H+ exudation from soybean (Glycine max) roots. Three out of all eleven soybean H+-pyrophosphatases (GmVP) geneswere up-regulated by Pi starvation in soybean roots. Among them, GmVP2 showed the highest expression level under low P conditions. Transient expression of a GmVP2-green fluorescent protein chimera in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves, and functional characterization of GmVP2 in transgenic soybean hairy roots demonstrated that GmVP2 encoded a plasma membrane transporter that mediated H+ exudation. Meanwhile, GmVP2-overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in enhanced root H+ exudation, promoted plant growth, and improved sparingly soluble Ca-P utilization. Overexpression of GmVP2 also changed the rhizospheric microbial community structures, as reflected by a preferential accumulation of acidobacteria in the rhizosphere soils. These results suggested that GmVP2 mediated Pi-starvation responsive H+ exudation,which is not only involved in plant growth and mobilization of sparingly soluble P-sources, but also affects microbial community structures in soils.

Identification of the Phosphorus-Solubilizing Bacteria Strain JP233 and Its Effects on Soil Phosphorus Leaching Loss and Crop Growth.

Project description:Phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting nutrients in global agricultural ecosystems, and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can convert insoluble P into soluble P, thereby improving the absorption and use of soil P by plants. Increasing leaching loss of soil P due to PSB that could lead to water eutrophication is a major concern, although no direct experimental evidence is available to evaluate these effects. In this study, a highly efficient PSB strain, Pseudomonas sp. JP233, was isolated from soil and its P-solubilizing agent was identified by metabolomics and HPLC analyses. The effects of JP233 on P contents in soil leachates were also analyzed by microcosm leaching experiments in the absence and presence of maize. JP233 could solubilize insoluble P into soluble forms, and the molybdate reactive phosphorus (MRP) content reached 258.07 mg/L in NBRIP medium containing 5 g/L Ca3(PO4)2 within 48 h. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated that the organic acid involved in JP233 P solubilization was primarily 2-keto gluconic acid (2KGA). Further, HPLC analysis revealed that 2KGA contents rapidly accumulated to 19.33 mg/mL within 48 h. Microcosm leaching experiments showed that MRP and total phosphorus (TP) contents in soil leaching solutions were not significantly higher after JP233 inoculation. However, inoculation with JP233 into maize plant soils significantly decreased MRP and TP contents in the soil leaching solutions on days 14 (P < 0.01), 21 (P < 0.01), and 28 (P < 0.05). Inoculation with strain JP233 also significantly increased the biomass of maize aerial components and that of whole plants (P < 0.05). Thus, strain JP233 exhibited a significant plant-growth-promoting effect on maize development. In conclusion, the application of PSB into soils does not significantly increase P leachate loss. Rather, the application of PSB can help reduce P leachate loss, while significantly promoting plant absorption and use of soil P.
