APPLIED MICROBIAL AND CELL PHYSIOLOGY Phytohormone production by three strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and possible physiological and technological implications

چکیده
The aim of this work was to evaluate phytohormone biosynthesis, siderophores production, and phosphate solubilization in three strains (E109, USDA110, and SEMIA5080) of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, most commonly used for inoculation of soybean and nonlegumes in USA, Canada, and South America. Siderophore production and phosphate solubilization were evaluated in selective culture conditions, which had negative results. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3), and abscisic acid (ABA) production were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ethylene and zeatin biosynthesis were determined by GS–flame ionization detection and highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV), respectively. IAA, zeatin, and GA3 were found in all three strains; however, their levels were significantly higher (p<0.01) in SEMIA5080 (3.8 μg ml), USDA110 (2.5 μg ml), and E109 (0.87 μg ml), respectively. ABA biosynthesis was detected only in USDA110 (0.019 μg ml). Ethylene was found in all three strains, with highest production rate (18.1 ng ml h) in E109 cultured in yeast extract mannitol medium plus L-methionine. This is the first report of IAA, GA3, zeatin, ethylene, and ABA production by B. japonicum in pure cultures, using quantitative physicochemical methodology. The three strains have differential capability to produce the five major phytohormones and this fact may have an important technological implication for inoculant formulation.

Specific detection of Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium strains colonizing rice (Oryza sativa) roots by 16S-23S ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer-targeted PCR.
In addition to forming symbiotic nodules on legumes, rhizobial strains are members of soil or rhizosphere communities or occur as endophytes, e.g., in rice. Two rhizobial strains which have been isolated from root nodules of the aquatic legumes Aeschynomene fluminensis (IRBG271) and Sesbania aculeata (IRBG74) were previously found to promote rice growth. In addition to analyzing their phylogene...

We evaluated phytohormone and polyamine biosynthesis, siderophore production, and phosphate solubilization in two strains (Cd and Az39) of Azospirillum brasilense used for inoculant formulation in Argentina during the last 20 years. Siderophore production and phosphate solubilization were evaluated in a chemically defined medium, with negative results. Indole 3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic ac...

Soybean lectin (SBL) purified from soybean seeds by affinity chromatography strongly bound to Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 cell surface. This lectin enhanced biofilm formation by B. japonicum in a concentration-dependent manner. Presence of galactose during biofilm formation had different effects in the presence or absence of SBL. Biofilms were completely inhibited in the presence of both ...
