“…The roots were washed with sterile distilled water and strongly adhered soil particles were carefully removed manually. Root tissue (1 g) specimens were obtained from each plant and surface sterilized using a method described by Márquez-Santacruz et al (2010). Briefly, the roots were immersed in 70% ethanol for 30 s, washed with fresh sodium hypochlorite solution (2.5% available Cl -) for 5 min, rinsed with 70% ethanol for 30 s, and finally washed five times with sterile distilled water.…”

“…Primary and lateral root cracks, as well as diverse tissue wounds resulting from plant growth, allow rhizospheric bacteria to penetrate and colonize the internal tissues of plants (Ali et al, 2014;Santoyo et al, 2016). Therefore, the rhizosphere is recognized as a reservoir of potential bacterial endophytes (Márquez-Santacruz et al, 2010).…”

“…Bacterial species belonging to other classes, such as Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, and Verrucomicrobia are less commonly found in plant tissues. Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, Micrococcus, Pantoea, and Microbacterium are among the most abundant and commonly reported genera of plant endophytes (Hallman et al, 1997;Márquez-Santacruz et al, 2010;Friesen et al, 2011;Xiong et al, 2014).…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to explore the diversity of culturable bacterial communities residing in blackberry plants (Rubus fruticosus). Bacterial endophytes were isolated from plant roots, and their 16S rDNA sequences were amplified and sequenced. Our results show that the roots of R. fruticosus exhibit low colony forming units of bacterial endophytes per gram of fresh tissue (6 x 10 2 ± 0.5 x 10 2 ). We identified 41 endophytic bacterial species in R. fruticosus by BLAST homology search and a subsequent phylogenetic analysis, belonging to the classes Actinobacteria, Bacilli, Alfaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria. Predominantly, genera belonging the Proteobacteria (Burkholderia, 29.4%; Herbaspirillum, 10.7%; Pseudomonas, 4.9%; and Dyella, 3.9%), Firmicutes (Bacillus, 42.1%), and Actinobacteria (two isolates showing high identity with the Streptomyces genus, 1.9%) divisions were identified. Fifty percent of the bacterial endophytes produced the phytohormone indole-acetic acid (IAA), eleven of which exhibited higher IAA production (>5.8 mg/mL) compared to the plant growth-promoting strain, Pseudomonas fluorescens UM270. Additionally, the endophytic isolates exhibited protease activity (22%), produced siderophores (26.4%), and demonstrated antagonistic action (>50% inhibition of mycelial growth) against the grey mold phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea (3.9%). These results suggested that field-grown R. fruticosus plants contain bacterial endophytes within their tissues with the potential to promote plant growth and display antagonism towards plant pathogens.

ABSTRACT. The diversity of endophytic bacteria in the sand-fixation plant Caragana microphylla was investigated by amplified rDNA restriction analysis and by sequence and phylogenetic comparisons of the 16S rRNA genes. A total of 24, 19, and 17 operational taxonomic units were identified from 16S rDNA libraries of the plant roots, stems and leaves, respectively. Homology analysis revealed a 92-100% identity of bacterial 16S rDNA sequences compared with those in the GenBank database. The bacteria identified by sequence homology fell into the following groups: α-Proteobacteria, β-Proteobacteria, γ-Proteobacteria, bacilli, and uncultured bacterium. Sequence analysis demonstrated that the roots were colonized predominantly by Bradyrhizobiaceae, while bacteria from Burkholderiaceae and Sphingomonadaceae were predominant in the stems and leaves, respectively. Additionally, the endophytic bacterial community in leaves was more diverse than those in the roots and stems. Overall, the most abundant bacteria in all three tissues analyzed were from the Sphingomonadaceae and Burkholderiaceae families, although many bacterial populations were found in only a single tissue. These results suggest that the bacterial population of C. microphylla is diverse.
