چکیده

Microbial communities in rhizosphere interact with each other and form a basis of a cumulative impact on plant growth. Rhizospheric microorganisms like Piriformospora indica and Azotobacter chroococcum are well known for their beneficial interaction with plants. These features make P. indica/A. chroococcum co-inoculation of crops most promising with respect to sustainable agriculture and to understanding the transitions in the evolution of rhizospheric microbiome. Here, we investigated interactions of P. indica with A. chroococcum in culture. Out of five Azotobacter strains tested, WR5 exhibited growth-promoting while strain M4 exerted growth-inhibitory effect on the fungus in axenic culture. Electron microscopy of co-culture indicated an intimate association of the bacterium with the fungus. 2-D gel electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry of P. indica cellular proteins grown with or without WR5 and M4 showed differential expression of many metabolic proteins like enolase-I, ureaseD, the GTP binding protein YPT1 and the transmembrane protein RTM1. Fungal growth as influenced by bacterial crude metabolites was also monitored. Taken together, the results conform to a model where WR5 and M4 influence the overall growth and physiology of P. indica which may have a bearing on its symbiotic relationship with plants.

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the most widespread micronutrients deficiencies in plants that causes severe reduction in their growth and yield. An increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and a decrease in efficiency of detoxification mechanisms may be the major reasons for impairment of various cellular functions in Zn-deficient plants. This study was conducted in order to investigate the...

The effect of alkylresorcinol on lipid metabolism in Azotobacter chroococcum.

We studied the effect of exogenous alkylresorcinols on the lipid metabolism of Azotobacter chroococcum. We observed that when 5-n-pentadecylresorcinol was present in the growth medium, the more endogenous alkylresorcinols were synthesized. Concurrently, a drop in the amount of phospholipids was observed. These changes were associated with increasing numbers of dormant cysts, while the number of...

The maturation zone is an important target of Piriformospora indica in Chinese cabbage roots

The mutualistic symbiont Piriformospora indica exhibits a great potential in agriculture. The interaction between P. indica and Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris cv. Chinensis) results in growth and biomass promotion of the host plant and in particular in root hair development. The resulting highly bushy root phenotype of colonized Chinese cabbage seedlings differs substantially from reports...

Colonization of root cells and plant growth promotion by Piriformospora indica occurs independently of plant common symbiosis genes

Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota) form symbiosis with and deliver nutrients via the roots of most angiosperms. AM fungal hyphae are taken up by living root epidermal cells, a program which relies on a set of plant common symbiosis genes (CSGs). Plant root epidermal cells are also infected by the plant growth-promoting fungus Piriformospora indica (Basidiomycota), raising the ques...

This study aimed to select and characterize bacterial strains with multiple plant growth promotion properties able to tolerate drought and salinity stress in order to improve plant growth performance under abiotic stresses. Plant growth promoting activities were evaluated in 106 bacterial strains isolated by soil, compost, lignocellulosic biomasses and food matrices. Two strains A. chroococcum ...
