Isolation, molecular characterization and growth-promoting activities of endophytic sugarcane diazotroph Klebsiella sp. GR9

A group of endophytic diazotrophs were isolated from surface-sterilized roots and stems of different sugarcane varieties in the Tamilnadu region of India. From these, four isolates were selected, based on the highest acetylene reduction activity. Gene-specific PCR amplification confirmed the presence of nif-D genes in those isolates. The 16S rRNA sequence of isolates GR4 and GR7 had a 99.5% sequence similarity to the Pseudomonas sp. pDL01 (AF125317) and 16S rDNA sequence of isolate GR3 had a 100% similarity to that of Burkholderia vietnamiensis (AY973820). The 16S rDNA sequence of isolate GR9 was 99.79% similar to that of the Klebsiella pneumoniae type strain (KPY17657). Colonization by the isolates was confirmed using micropropagated sugarcane and sterile rice seedlings. Isolate GR9, identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae, was consistently more active in reducing acetylene as compared with the other isolates. The effects of GR9 and the sugarcane diazotroph Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus were compared in inoculated micropropagated sugarcane plantlets. The effects of K. pneumoniae GR9, and four other diazotrophs, G. diazotrophicus, Herbaspirillum seropedicae, Azospirillum lipoferum 4B, and Burkholderia vietnamiensis in inoculated rice seedlings were compared. GR9 alone or in combination with the other diazotrophs performed best under pot conditions. The combined effects of nitrogen fixation and endophytic colonization of this diazotroph may be useful for the development of bio-inoculants.     

Microbiological strategies for enhancing biological nitrogen fixation in nonlegumes

In an agro-ecosystem, industrially produced nitrogenous fertilizers are the principal sources of nitrogen for plant growth; unfortunately these also serve as the leading sources of pollution. Hence, it becomes imperative to find pollution-free methods of providing nitrogen to crop plants. A diverse group of free-living, plant associative and symbiotic prokaryotes are able to perform biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). BNF is a two component process involving the nitrogen fixing diazotrophs and the host plant. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is most efficient as it can fix nitrogen inside the nodule formed on the roots of the plant; delivering nitrogen directly to the host. However, most of the important crop plants are nonleguminous and are unable to form symbiotic associations. In this context, the plant associative and endophytic diazotrophs assume importance. BNF in nonlegumes can be encouraged either through the transfer of BNF traits from legumes or by elevating the nitrogen fixing capacity of the associative and endophytic diazotrophs. In this review we discuss mainly the microbiological strategies which may be used in nonleguminous crops for enhancement of BNF.     

The Mo- and Fe-nitrogenases of the endophyte Kosakonia sp. UYSO10 are necessary for growth promotion of sugarcane

Sugarcane is a multipurpose crop primarily used to produce sugar, energy and bioethanol. It requires high amounts of N-fertilization for optimal growth, which increases production costs and environmental degradation. The contribution of biological nitrogen fixation to Uruguayan commercial sugarcane cultivars was demonstrated previously, and diazotrophic bacteria that were isolated from the stems were characterized and identified. From this collection, the isolate UYSO10 related to the Kosakonia genus (formerly Enterobacter) was described as a plant growth-promoting endophyte of sugarcane plants. To evaluate the effect of the inoculation of wild-type and nitrogenase-deficient strains of Kosakonia sp. UYSO10 on sugarcane growth promotion under non-sterile conditions. Kosakonia sp. UYSO10 was inoculated onto sugarcane setts for plant growth promotion greenhouse experiments. Single and double mutants resulting to the nitrogenase-encoding genes (nifH, anfH) were constructed, and the phenotypes were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Kosakonia sp. UYSO10 is able to promote sugarcane growth under non-sterile conditions, that strain UYSO10 harbors two functional nitrogenases and the inactivation of both nitrogenase-encoding genes diminish its capacity of promoting growth on sugarcane. All together, the results obtained showed that the biological nitrogen fixation ability of Kosakonia sp. UYSO10 is required for sugarcane growth promotion.     

Yield of micropropagated sugarcane varieties in different soil types following inoculation with diazotrophic bacteria

It is well described that the beneficial interactions between plants and bacteria are genotype and site specific. Brazilian sugarcane varieties can obtain up to 70% of their nitrogen requirement from biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), and this contribution is related to the Brazilian breeding and selection processes, by example of the variety SP70-1143. In this study the effect of two inoculation mixtures containing diazotrophic bacteria in our earlier pot experiment was evaluated with two sugarcane varieties, a known responder, SP70-1143, and a newly selected variety, SP81-3250, to investigate the sugarcane genotype effect and the role of the mixtures. The sugarcane varieties SP70-1143 and SP81-3250 were grown under commercial field conditions at three sites with contrasting soil types: an Alfisol, an Oxisol and an Ultisol that means a low, medium and high natural fertility respectively. The stem yield and BNF contribution in response to bacterial inoculation were influenced by the strain combinations in the inoculum, the plant genotype, and the soil type and nitrogen fertilization, confirming the genetic and environmental influence in PGP-bacteria interactions. Inoculation effects on the BNF contribution and stem yield increased in the variety SP70-1143 grown in the Alfisol without nitrogen fertilization for three consecutive crops, and it was equivalent to the annual nitrogen fertilization. The plants grown in the Oxisol showed small increases in the productivity of the variety SP70-1143, and in the Ultisol the sugarcane plants presented even decreases in the stem productivity due to inoculation with diazotrophic bacteria mixtures. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the inoculation technology using diazotrophic bacteria in micropropagated sugarcane varieties grown in soils with low to medium levels of fertility. In addition, the results also indicated that specific plant – bacteria – environment combinations are needed to harness the full benefits of BNF. Section Editor: C. P. Vance

The contribution of nitrogen fixation to sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.), and the identification and characterization of part of the associated diazotrophic bacterial community

Background and aims

Rhizospheric, epiphytic and endophytic bacteria are associated with several non-legumes, colonizing their surface and inner tissues. Many of these bacteria are beneficial to their hosts, and are collectively termed plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Recent interest has focused particularly upon PGPR that are endophytic (i.e. PGPE), and which have been reported to be associated with important crops such as rice, wheat and sugarcane. Different mechanisms are involved in bacteria-induced plant growth promotion (PGP), including biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), mineral solubilization, production of phytohormones and pathogen biocontrol. In Uruguay, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is considered a strategic multipurpose crop, used for bioenergy, feed, sugar and bioethanol production. The aim of this work was to estimate the BNF contribution to Uruguayan sugarcane cultivars, as well as to identify and characterize the (culturable) putatively endophytic diazotrophic bacteria associated with these varieties.

Methods and results

Results using the ¹⁵N-dilution technique have shown that these sugarcane varieties obtain significant inputs of N from BNF (34.8–58.8% Ndfa). In parallel, a collection of 598 isolates of potentially endophytic diazotrophs was obtained from surface-sterilized stems using standard isolation techniques, and nifH ⁺ isolates from these were the subject of further studies. The bacteria were shown to belong to several genera, including Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Xanthomonas, Acinetobacter, Rhanella, Enterobacter, Pantoea, Shinella, Agrobacterium and Achromobacter. Additionally, some PGP features were studied in 35 selected isolates. The data obtained in this study represent the initial steps in a program aimed at determining the mechanisms of PGP of non-legume crops in Uruguay (such as sugarcane) with potentially beneficial plant-associated bacteria.     

Isolation,partial characterization,and the effect of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) on micro-propagated sugarcane in vitro

We report the isolation of nitrogen fixing, phytohormone producing bacteria from sugarcane and their beneficial effects on the growth of micropropagated sugarcane plantlets. Detection of the nitrogen fixing bacteria by ARA-based MPN (acetylene reduction assay-based most probable number) method indicated the presence of up to 10⁶ bacteria per gram dry weight of stem and 10⁷ bacteria per gram dry weight of root of field-grown sugarcane. Two nitrogen fixing bacterial isolates were obtained from stem (SC11, SC20) and two from the roots (SR12, SR13) of field-grown plants. These isolates were identified as Enterobacter sp. strains on the basis of their morphological characteristics and biochemical tests. The isolate SC20 was further characterized by 16S rRNA sequence analysis, which showed high sequence similarity to the sequence of Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella oxytoca. All the isolates produced the phytohormone indoleacetic acid (IAA) in pure culture and this IAA production was enhanced in growth medium containing tryptophan. The bacterial isolates were used to inoculate micro-propagated sugarcane in vitro where maximum increase in the root and shoot weight over control was observed in the plantlets inoculated with strain SC20. By using the¹⁵N isotope dilution technique, maximum nitrogen fixation contribution (28% of total plant nitrogen) was detected in plantlets inoculated with isolate SC20.
