Cultivable bacterial diversity associated with bromeliad roots from ironstone outcrops in central Brazil

Abstract: Studies on the bacterial diversity associated with wild plants are rare, especially on those that grow in association with bromeliads. In the present study, we isolated and identified epiphytic and endophytic bacteria from the roots of the bromeliads Dyckia excelsa, Dyckia leptostachya and Deuterocohnia meziana occurring in the “cangas” in the Pantanal from Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. The epiphytic bacteria were isolated from washed roots, while the endophytic bacteria were isolated from surface disinfes… Show more

“…This strain was collected as an endophyte from Bromelia balansae Mez that occurs in ironstone outcrops in the Pantanal biome of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil [ 32 ]. This plant species is adapted to several stressful environmental factors, such as conditions of a high incidence of UV radiation, shallow soils with few nutrients, and periods of water scarcity [ 33 ]. In addition to all these peculiar characteristics, studies on endophytes from these sites and from the Pantanal are scarce, especially those centered on the characterization of secondary metabolites [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

“…The most commonly characterized endophytic bacteria are Bacillus species (Lilley et al, 1996;Viana et al, 2020), with B. subtilis being particularly well known for its ability to promote plant growth (Poonguzhali et al, 2006) and to antagonize a range of plant pathogens, including Ceratocystis ulrni (Schreiber et al, 1988), Fusarium moniliforme (Hinton and Bacon, 1995), Xanthomonas oryzae (Lin et al, 2001), X. campestris pv. Campestris (Singh et al, 2010), Colletotrichum spp.…”

“…Previously, the 27 bacterial isolates used for this study were taxonomically and molecularly classi ed as Bacillus spp. (Viana et al 2020). The strains were previously isolated and classi ed by Viana et al (2020) and obtained from the Culture Collection of the Microbiology Laboratory of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campus Pantanal, Brazil.…”

“…(Viana et al 2020). The strains were previously isolated and classi ed by Viana et al (2020) and obtained from the Culture Collection of the Microbiology Laboratory of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campus Pantanal, Brazil. The bacteria were grown in tryptic soy agar (TSA) medium for 24 h at 30 °C to verify the purity before DNA extraction and the other assays.…”
