Cd-tolerant SY-2 strain of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia: a potential PGPR, isolated from the Nanjing mining area in China.

ABSTRACT: Microbial and plant assisted bioremediation is an emerging way for the remediation of soils polluted with heavy metals. To screen the cadmium tolerant bacteria, soil samples were collected from Nanjing mining area, China. The average cadmium content of the mine soil reached 45.71 mg/kg, which was indicating serious pollution and potential ecological risk. From the mine soil, six cadmium tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were isolated. The isolated bacterial strain "SY-2" showed maximum cadmium tolerance and it was selected for further experimentation. This strain was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by 16S rRNA gene sequencing (GenBank accession number MG597057). SY-2 was found to tolerate maximum cadmium at 1.0 mM concentration. This strain also exhibited good adsorption capacity (up to 35.7%) of heavy metal at 0.5 mM concentration. The results of this study exhibited organic phosphorus solubilization (37.08 mg/L) and IAA biosynthesis (15.11 mg/L) ability of isolated S. maltophilia. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed cell shrinkage and the cell wall of S. maltophilia was very rough. Moreover, the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis endorsed the adsorption of Cd ions on the surface of biomass. FT-IR study described the presence of functional groups and the nature of chemical bonds, before and after cadmium stress. At 0.25 mM cadmium concentration, S. maltophilia treated seeds of Capsicum annuum L. developed 1.46 times longer roots than untreated seeds. The results of this study helped us to conclude that SY-2 strain of S. maltophilia possesses significant metal tolerance and bioremediation potential against cadmium. In the future, this strain can be used as a microbial remediation agent to detoxify heavy metals in contaminated soils.

Project description:Certain plant growth promoting bacteria have ability to ameliorate abiotic and/or biotic stressors, which can be exploited to enhance plant growth and productivity of the plants under stress conditions. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the role of a rhizospheric bacterial isolate SBP-9 isolated from Sorghum bicolor (i) in promoting the wheat plant growth under salinity stress, and (ii) in enhancing the defense response in wheat against fungal pathogen "Fusarium graminearum." The test isolate possessed plant growth promoting (PGP) traits including ACC deaminase (ACCD), gibberellic acid, indole acetic acid (IAA), siderophore, and inorganic phosphate solubilization. Under salt (NaCl) stress, inoculation of this isolate to wheat plant significantly increased plant growth in terms of various growth parameters such as shoot length/root length (20-39%), fresh weight/dry weight (28-42%), and chlorophyll content (24-56%) following inoculation of test isolate SBP-9. Bacterial inoculation decreased the level of proline, and malondialdehyde, whereas elevated the antioxidative enzymatic activities of superoxide-dismutase (SOD; 28-41%), catalase (CAT; 24-56%), and peroxidase (POX; 26-44%). Furthermore, it also significantly decreased the Na+ accumulation in both shoot and roots in the range of 25-32%, and increased the K+ uptake by 20-28%, thereby favoring the K+/Na+ ratio. On the other hand, the test isolate also enhanced the level of defense enzymes like β-1, 3 glucanase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidae (PO), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), which can protect plants from the infection of pathogens. The result of colonization test showed an ability of the test isolate to successfully colonize the wheat plants. These results indicate that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SBP-9 has potential to promote the wheat growth under biotic and abiotic (salt) stressors directly or indirectly and can be further tested at field level for exploitation as bioinoculant.

Project description:Heavy-metal-tolerant bacteria, GIMN1.004(T), was isolated from mine soils of Dabaoshan in South China, which were acidic (pH 2-4) and polluted with heavy metals. The isolation was Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacteria having a cellular width of 0.5-0.6 µm and a length of 1.3-1.8 µm. They showed a normal growth pattern at pH 4.0-9.0 in a temperature ranging from 5 °C to 40 °C.The organism contained ubiquinone Q-8 as the predominant isoprenoid quinine, and C(16:0), summed feature 8 (C(18:1)?7c and C(18:1)?6c), C(18:0), summed feature 3 (C(16:1)?7c or iso-C(15:0) 2-OH), C(17:0) cyclo, C(18:1)?9c, C(19:0) cyclo ?8c, C(14:0) as major fatty acid. These profiles were similar to those reported for Burkholderia species. The DNA G+C % of this strain was 61.6%. Based on the similarity to 16S rRNA gene sequence, GIMN1.004(T) was considered to be in the genus Burkholderia. The similarities of 16S rRNA gene sequence between strain GIMN1.004(T) and members of the genus Burkholderia were 96-99.4%, indicating that this novel strain was phylogenetically related to members of that genus. The novel strain showed the highest sequence similarities to Burkholderia soli DSM 18235(T) (99.4%); Levels of DNA-DNA hybridization with DSM 18235(T) was 25%. Physiological and biochemical tests including cell wall composition analysis, differentiated phenotype of this strain from that closely related Burkholderia species. The isolation had great tolerance to cadmium with MIC of 22 mmol/L, and adsorbability of 144.94 mg/g cadmium,and it was found to exhibit antibiotic resistance characteristics. The adsorptive mechanism of GIMN1.004(T) for cadmium depended on the action of the amide,carboxy and phosphate of cell surface and producing low-molecular-weight (LMW) organic acids to complex or chelated Cd(2+).Therefore, the strain GIMN1.004(T) represented a new cadmium resistance species, which was tentatively named as Burkholderia dabaoshanensis sp. nov. The strain type is GIMN1.004(T) (= CCTCC M 209109(T) = NRRL B-59553(T)).
