Identification and characterization of endophytic bacteria from corn (Zea mays L.) roots with biotechnological potential in agriculture

Abstract: Six endophytic bacteria of corn roots were identified as Bacillus sp. and as Enterobacter sp, by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. Four of the strains, CNPSo 2476, CNPSo 2477, CNPSo 2478 and CNPSo 2480 were positive for the nitrogen fixation ability evaluated through the acetylene reduction assay and amplification of nifH gene. Two Bacillus strains (CNPSo 2477 and CNPSo 2478) showed outstanding skills for the production of IAA, siderophores and lytic enzymes, but were not good candidates as growth promoters, be… Show more

“…Similar results were noted in endophyte inoculated cucumber plants that showed highest shoot length compared to control even under salinity stress (Waqas et al, 2012). Similarly, endophytes isolated from wheat plant were tested for colonization in non-host plant such as rice, which resulted in significant increase in root and shoot length (Jha and Kumar, 2009) and the EBIs when inoculated in corn seeds showed best enhancement in promoting plant growth such as root length and shoot length (Szilagyi-Zecchin et al, 2014).…”

“…According to Loon et al (2007), phytohormone production by microbes can alter the plant hormone levels and consequently have an influence on plant growth promotion. EBIs that produced auxin in lower amounts have greater influence on root elongation and root volume; because, only the plant growth inhibiting bacteria produces high concentration of auxin (Szilagyi-Zecchin et al, 2014). Taking together, we can interpret that the increased root growth activity is due to IAA production by EBIs.…”

“…Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEG 7 (Tamura et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2016Kumar et al, ). al., 2007Mano and Morisaki, 2008;Cottyn et al, 2009;Kaga et al, 2009;Ji et al, 2014;Nhu and Diep, 2014 (Barka et al, 2002;Oliveira et al, 2003;Kang et al, 2007;Szilagyi-Zecchin et al, 2014). In addition, endophytic bacteria have been reported to be involved with other mechanisms such as competition for place and food, and antibiosis (Sturz et al, 2000;Reiter et al, 2002;Compant et al, 2005;Aravind et al, 2009;Ji et al, 2013).…”

“…Após o crescimento, as placas foram tratadas com lugol por 10 minutos, sendo consideradas positivas aquelas colônias que apresentavam halo claro ao seu redor. A identificação da produção de quitinase foi realizada por meio descrito por SZILAGYI-ZECCHIN et al (2014), isolados positivos apresentaram um halo transparente após sete dias de incubação.…”
