Title: | Characterization of bacterial communities associated with Brassica napus L. growing on a Zn-contaminated soil and their effects on root growth | Authors: | MONTALBAN GINES, Blanca CROES, Sarah WEYENS, Nele Carmen Lobo, Ma Perez-Sanz, Araceli VANGRONSVELD, Jaco |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC | Source: | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOREMEDIATION, 18(10), p. 985-993 | Abstract: | The interaction between plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and plants can enhance biomass production and metal tolerance of the host plants. This work aimed at isolating and characterizing the cultivable bacterial community associated with Brassica napus growing on a Zn-contaminated site, for selecting cultivable PGPB that might enhance biomass production and metal tolerance of energy crops. The effects of some of these bacterial strains on root growth of B. napus exposed to increasing Zn and Cd concentrations were assessed. A total of 426 morphologically different bacterial strains were isolated from the soil, the rhizosphere, and the roots and stems of B. napus. The diversity of the isolated bacterial populations was similar in rhizosphere and roots, but lower in soil and stem compartments. Burkoholderia, Alcaligenes, Agrococcus, Polaromonas, Stenotrophomonas, Serratia, Microbacterium, and Caulobacter were found as root endophytes exclusively. The inoculation of seeds with Pseudomonas sp. strains 228 and 256, and Serratia sp. strain 246 facilitated the root development of B. napus at 1,000 mu M Zn. Arthrobacter sp. strain 222, Serratia sp. strain 246, and Pseudomonas sp. 228 and 262 increased the root length at 300 mu M Cd. | Notes: | [Montalban, Blanca; Carmen Lobo, Ma; Perez-Sanz, Araceli] Dept Invest Agroambiental, Madrid, Spain.
