Involvement of the reserve material poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate in Azospirillum brasilense stress endurance and root colonization.
When grown under suboptimal conditions, rhizobacteria of the genus Azospirillum produce high levels of poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). Azospirillum brasilense strain Sp7 and a phbC (PHB synthase) mutant strain in which PHB production is impaired were evaluated for metabolic versatility, for the ability to endure various stress conditions, for survival in soil inoculants, and for the potential ...
متن کاملRoot surface colonization of non-cereal crop plants by pleomorphic Azospirillum brasilense Cd
Root surface colonization by Azospirillum brasilense Cd of tomato, pepper and cotton plants under normal growth conditions and soybean plants under normal and water-stress conditions was monitored by scanning electron microscopy and bacterial counts. A. brasilense Cd was capable of efficiently colonizing the elongation and roothair zones of all four plant species tested. In these zones, the bac...
متن کاملIdentification and isolation of genes involved in poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) biosynthesis in Azospirillum brasilense and characterization of a phbC mutant.
Like many other prokaryotes, rhizobacteria of the genus Azospirillum produce high levels of poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) under suboptimal growth conditions. Utilization of PHB by bacteria under stress has been proposed as a mechanism that favors their compatible establishment in competitive environments, thus showing great potential for the improvement of bacterial inoculants for plants and...
متن کاملRoot-surface colonization of black mangrove seedlings by Azospirillum halopraeferens and Azospirillum brasilense in seawater
Inoculation of axenic black mangrove seedlings in seawater for 8 days with either the terrestrial halotolerant plant growthpromoting bacterium Azospirillum halopraeferens or with Azospirillum brasilense produced heavy colonization of the root surface. The colonization pattern was different for the two strains. A. halopraeferens yielded mainly single cells embedded in a thick sheath, whereas A. ...
متن کاملEnhancement of Wheat Root Colonization and Plant Development by Azospirillum brasilense Cd. Following Temporary Depression of Rhizosphere Microflora.
Inoculation of wheat with Azospirillum brasilense, combined with the application of four fungal and bacterium-inhibiting substances to which A. brasilense is resistant in the soil, decreased the rhizosphere population, while it increased wheat root colonization by A. brasilense, even in cases of poor inoculation. The inoculation significantly increased the following wheat plant parameters as we...
