Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria represent a promising solution to enhancing agricultural productivity. Here, we screened phosphate solubilizing bacteria from the rhizospheric soil of Chenopodium quinoa Willd and assessed their plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) properties including production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), siderophores, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), ammonia and extracellular enzymes. We also investigated their tolerance to salt stress and their capacity to form biofilms. Two isolated strains, named QA1 and QF11, solubilized phosphate up to 346 mg/L, produced IAA up to 795.31 µg/mL, and tolerated up to 2 M NaCl in vitro. 16S rRNA and Cpn60 gene sequencing revealed that QA1 and QF11 belong to the genus Bacillus licheniformis and Enterobacter asburiae, respectively. In vivo, early plant growth potential showed that quinoa seeds inoculated either with QA1 or QF11 displayed higher germination rates and increased seedling growth. Under saline irrigation conditions, QA1 enhanced plant development/growth. Inoculation with QA1 increased leaf chlorophyll content index, enhanced P and K+ uptake and decreased plant Na+ uptake. Likewise, plants inoculated with QF11 strain accumulated more K+ and had reduced Na+ content. Collectively, our findings support the use of QA1 and QF11 as potential biofertilizers.

“…Thirty seeds were placed on each plate. Triplicates of each treatment were maintained and seeds treated with sterilized distilled water were used as negative control [ 34 ]. The plates were maintained at 25 °C for 48 h in the dark [ 43 ] and germination rates were monitored 24 h and 48 h post-incubation.…”

“…PSMs are diversified in nature, as listed in Table 3. Bacteria belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Bacillus (Biswas et al 2018;Buch et al 2008), Serratia and Pantoea (Sulbaran et al 2009), Rhizobium, Arthrobacter, and Burkholderia, and Rahnella aquatilis HX2 (Liu et al 2019a;Zhang et al 2019), Leclercia adecarboxylata (Teng et al 2019a), and fungi like Penicillium brevicompactum and Aspergillus niger (Rojas et al 2018;Whitelaw 1999), and Acremonium, Hymenella, and Neosartorya (Ichriani et al 2018) are potent PSMs. These soil microbes perform a significant role in soil by their metabolic activities and are a remarkable part of integrated nutrient management in the soil, as they improve the plant's nutrient acquisition from the soil.…”

Phosphorus is the second most critical macronutrient after nitrogen required for metabolism, growth, and development of plants. Despite the abundance of phosphorus in both organic and inorganic forms in the soil, it is mostly unavailable for plant uptake due to its complexation with metal ions in the soil. The use of agrochemicals to satisfy the demand for phosphorus to improve crop yield has led to the deterioration of the ecosystem and soil health, as well as an imbalance in the soil microbiota. Consequently, there is a demand for an alternate cost-effective and eco-friendly strategy for the biofortification of phosphorus. One such strategy is the application of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms which can solubilize insoluble phosphates in soil by different mechanisms like secretion of organic acids, enzyme production, and excretion of siderophores that can chelate the metal ions and form complexes, making phosphates available for plant uptake. These microbes not only solubilize phosphates but also promote plant growth and crop yield by producing plant-growth-promoting hormones like auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins, antibiosis against pathogens, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase which enhances plant growth under stress conditions, improving plant resistance to heavy metal toxicity, and so on. Pyrroloquinoline quinine (pqq) and glucose dehydrogenase (gcd) are the representative genes for phosphorus solubilization in microorganisms. The content presented in this review paper focuses on different mechanisms and modes of action of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, their contribution to phosphorus solubilization, growth-promoting attributes in plants, and the molecular aspects of phosphorus solubilization.

“…Qualitative analysis of IAA production was first determined (pink colour indicates IAA production) in NBRIP liquid medium added with tryptophan using Salkowski's method (Biswas et al, 2018). Secondly, IAA-producing isolates were then selected to estimate IAA production using bacterial cultures that were grown in 50 ml medium and gently shacked for five days at 28°C.…”

Phosphate Solubilizing Rhizobacteria Could Have a Stronger Influence on Wheat Root Traits and Aboveground Physiology Than Rhizosphere P Solubilization

Limited P availability in several agricultural areas is one of the key challenges facing current agriculture. Exploiting P-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has been an emerging bio-solution for a higher rhizosphere P-availability, meanwhile the above-and below-ground interactions that PSB would trigger remain unclear over plant growing stages. We hypothesized that PSB effects on plant growth may be greater on root traits that positively links with aboveground physiology more than the commonly believed rhizosphere P bio-solubilization. In this study, five contrasting PSB (Pseudomonas spp.) isolates (low "PSB 1 ", moderate "PSB 2 and PSB 4 " and high "PSB 3 and PSB 5 " P-solubilizing capacity "PSC") were used to investigate aboveand below-ground responses in wheat fertilized with rock P (RP) under controlled conditions. Our findings show that all PSB isolates increased wheat root traits, particularly PSB 5 which increased root biomass and PSB 3 that had greater effect on root diameter in 7-, 15-and 42day old plants. The length, surface and volume of roots significantly increased along with higher rhizosphere available P in 15-and 42-day old plants inoculated with PSB 4 and PSB 2. Shoot biomass significantly increased with both PSB 2 and PSB 5. Root and shoot physiology significantly improved with PSB 1 (lowest PSC) and PSB 4 (moderate PSC), notably shoot total P (78.38%) and root phosphatase activity (390%). Moreover, nutrients acquisition and chlorophyll content increased in inoculated plants and was stimulated (PSB 2 , PSB 4) more than rhizosphere P-solubilization, which was also revealed by the significant above-and below-ground inter-correlations, mainly chlorophyll and both total (R = 0.75, p = 0.001**) and intracellular (R = 0.7, p = 0.000114*) P contents. These findings demonstrate the necessity to timely monitor the plant-rhizosphere continuum responses, which may be a relevant approach to accurately evaluate PSB through considering below-and above-ground relationships; thus enabling unbiased interpretations prior to field applications.
