“…This increased PGP potential and biocontrol efficacy of consortium suggests that both the strains were compatible to each other and synergistically provide protection to pea plants against fungal root rot infection. Previous reports have demonstrated the effectiveness of consortia in conferring greater protection and PGP effects in various crop plants under biotic stressed conditions ( Faria et al, 2021 ; Win et al, 2021 ).…”

The present study demonstrates plant growth promotion and induction of systemic resistance in pea (Pisum sativum) plant against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi by two bacterial endophytes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa OS_12 and Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus OS_25 isolated from leaves of Ocimum sanctum Linn. The endophytes were evaluated for their antagonistic potential against three phytopathogens Rhizoctonia solani, F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi, and Pythium aphanidermatum by dual culture assay. Maximum inhibition of F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi was observed by strains OS_12 and OS_25 among all root rot pathogens. Scanning electron microscopy of dual culture indicated hyphal distortion and destruction in the case of F. oxysporum f. sp. pisi. Further, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The GC-MS detected eight bioactive compounds from hexane extracts for instance, Dodecanoic acid, Tetra decanoic acid, L-ascorbic acid, Trans-13-Octadecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid. Both the endophytes exhibited multifarious plant growth promoting traits such as indole acetic production (30–33 μg IAA ml–1), phosphate solubilization, and siderophore and ammonia production. Pot trials were conducted to assess the efficacy of endophytes in field conditions. A significant reduction in disease mortality rate and enhancement of growth parameters was observed in pea plants treated with consortium of endophytes OS_12 and OS_25 challenged with F. oxysporum f.sp. pisi infection. The endophytic strains elicited induced systemic resistance (ISR) in pathogen challenged pea plants by enhancing activities of Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidase (PO), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), ascorbate oxidase (AO), catalase (CAT) and total phenolic content. The endophytes reduced the oxidative stress as revealed by decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) content and subsequently, lipid peroxidation in host plant leaves. Robust root colonization of pea seedlings by endophytes was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescence microscopy. Thus, plant growth promoting endophytic P. aeruginosa and A. aneurinilyticus can be further exploited through bio-formulations for sustainable protection of crops against root rot diseases as bio-control agents.

“…Endophytes, microorganisms that naturally reside in tissues of living plants, are potential sources of novel natural products for exploitation in agriculture, industry, and medicine (Hallmann et al, 1997;El-Tarabily et al, 2009. Bacterial endophytes confer profound impacts on their host plants through promoting growth, increasing tolerance to pathogens, and improving phytoremediation (Ma et al, 2016;Christakis et al, 2021;Faria et al, 2021). In addition, they have the ability to produce a plethora of bioactive secondary metabolites to protect plants against environmental stresses (Khare et al, 2018;Kushwaha et al, 2020).…”

The Marine Endophytic Polyamine-Producing Streptomyces mutabilis UAE1 Isolated From Extreme Niches in the Arabian Gulf Promotes the Performance of Mangrove (Avicennia marina) Seedlings Under Greenhouse Conditions

Mangrove forests in the Arabian Gulf are under continuous threat. To increase plantations of gray mangrove (Avicennia marina) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 27 endophytic actinobacterial isolates obtained from mangrove roots were in vitro pre-screened to detect the polyamines (PAs) [putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm)]. We also determined the abilities of the endophytic PA-producing actinobacterial isolates in enhancing the growth of A. marina under greenhouse conditions. Although three highly PA-producing isolates were recovered from inside mangrove root tissues, Streptomyces mutabilis UAE1 constantly colonized root and stem inner tissues for 12 weeks, suggesting an endophytic association between this actinobacterial isolate and mangrove seedlings. When roots were inoculated with S. mutabilis, mangrove growth was remarkably enhanced under gnotobiotic and greenhouse conditions. This was evident from the significant (P < 0.05) increases in dry weight and length of root (66.7 and 65.5%, respectively) and shoot (64.8 and 58.0%, respectively), number of branches (64.3%), total leaf area (40.2%), and photosynthetic pigments (54.5% chlorophyll a; 40.0% chlorophyll b; and 53.1% carotenoids) of mangrove compared to the PA-non-producing Streptomyces sp. or control treatment. Growth promotion in plants treated with S. mutabilis was also supported by significant (P < 0.05) elevations in the contents of mangrove in planta PAs, auxins, and cytokinins, accompanied by a decrease in abscisic acid levels. No difference was, however, detected in growth and amounts of PAs or any plant growth regulators (PGRs) in plants treated with or without the PA-non-producing isolate. Our findings indicate that plant growth parameters can be enhanced as a consequence of secretion of Put, Spd, and Spm by S. mutabilis resulting in regulation of endogenous PAs and other PGRs in mangrove tissues. This study is the first record that aims to improve sustainable agricultural management practices using plant growth promoting (PGP) actinobacteria, endophytic in mangrove tissues to promote mangrove growth under greenhouse conditions. Such research may allow this region to be a model to study the synergistic S. mutabilis–mangrove interactions and the future impacts on mangrove reforestation in the Arabian Gulf and elsewhere where mangrove forests are in threat.

“…As observed in micropropagated sugarcane (Barreto et al 2019) and cashew trees (Faria et al 2021), the introduction of growth-promoting endophytic microorganisms in micropropagated plants can decrease contamination losses and increase seedling survival from their establishment and acclimatization to field planting. This bacterium-plant interaction contributes to sustainable agriculture, since it minimizes the use of inducing compounds and chemical pesticides, also resulting in economic gains for the producer (Silveira et al 2018).…”

Endophytic bacteria with multifunctional characteristics can benefit plants through different mechanisms, as well as promoting growth in an efficient, low-cost and ecofriendly way. This study analyzed the potential of the multifunctional endophytic isolate Acinetobacter lwoffii Bac109 in promoting the early in vitro growth of sugarcane seedlings. The Bac109 strain showed potential to solubilize phosphate in a solid medium (solubilization index: 3.73). In addition, the bacterium was an efficient biocontrol agent against the phytopathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia sp., Fusarium oxysporum, Phoma sp. and Bipolaris papendorfii, showing a performance equal to or better than the commercial antifungal hygromycin B. An in vitro assay confirmed the biofilm production, which increased in the presence of sugarcane root extract. Additionally, A. lwoffii Bac109 showed a strong adhesion to the sugarcane roots. The inoculation of this bacterium in micropropagated sugarcane seedlings increased the shoot length (35 %) and regulated the nonphotochemical energy dissipation after 28 days of cultivation. At the end of the experiment, the bacterium showed a great potential for survival, with 5.72 × 107 CFU mL-1 recovered from the substrate, what is crucial for plant interaction. The results showed the potential of the biotechnology application for A. lwoffii Bac109 by evaluating multifunctional traits of plant growth promotion and by specific interactions with sugarcane, which may help to improve micropropagation protocols for this crop.
