“…Although Bacillaceae (third in abundance) was not the most abundant group in the VS, it kept its specific relevance in the community structure. The abundance of Bacillaceae in the VS of P. incarnata was similar to a culture‐independent study showing that Bacillaceae was the fourth most abundant family of the entire leaf endophytic bacterial communities in the tillering stage (part of the VS) of rice cultivation (Lafi et al, ). The dominance of Alicyclobacillaceae in the VS is of particular interest due to the potential of extant members of this family to promote plant development and health (Suebphankoy, Sookanun, Na Chiangmai, Sawangsri, & Kanjanamaneesathian, ).…”

“…Therefore, the microbial groups that facilitate the intake of these nutrients could be selected by the plant and coevolve with it to supply for the physiological needs of the VS (Hartmann et al, ; Santoyo, Moreno‐Hagelsieb, Orozco‐Mosqueda Mdel, & Glick, ). This hypothesis was confirmed in this study, as the dominant taxonomic groups in the VS are commonly characterized as plant growth promoter microorganisms (Govindasamy et al, ; Lafi et al, ; Mapelli et al, ; Mercado‐Blanco & Bakker, ). On the other hand, there is a phenomenon in which plants gradually acquire resistance to pathogens during their life cycle; in the case of resistant plants, they increase with age their ability to control infections (Develey‐Rivière & Galiana, ).…”

Comparison of specific endophytic bacterial communities in different developmental stages of Passiflora incarnata using culture‐dependent and culture‐independent analysis

et al. 2019

Plants and endophytic microorganisms have coevolved unique relationships over many generations. Plants show a specific physiological status in each developmental stage, which may determine the occurrence and dominance of specific endophytic populations with a predetermined ecological role. This study aimed to compare and determine the structure and composition of cultivable and uncultivable bacterial endophytic communities in vegetative and reproductive stages (RS) of Passiflora incarnata. To that end, the endophytic communities were assessed by plating and Illumina‐based 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Two hundred and four cultivable bacterial strains were successfully isolated. From the plant’s RS, the isolated strains were identified mainly as belonging to the genera Sphingomonas, Curtobacterium, and Methylobacterium, whereas Bacillus was the dominant genus isolated from the vegetative stage (VS). From a total of 133,399 sequences obtained from Illumina‐based sequencing, a subset of 25,092 was classified in operational taxonomy units (OTUs). Four hundred and sixteen OTUs were obtained from the VS and 66 from the RS. In the VS, the most abundant families were Pseudoalteromonadaceae and Alicyclobacillaceae, while in the RS, Enterobacteriaceae and Bacillaceae were the most abundant families. The exclusive abundance of specific bacterial populations for each developmental stage suggests that plants may modulate bacterial endophytic community structure in response to different physiological statuses occurring at the different plant developmental stages.

Enterobacter sp. SA187 is an endophytic bacterium that has been isolated from root nodules of the indigenous desert plant Indigofera argentea. SA187 could survive in the rhizosphere as well as in association with different plant species, and was able to provide abiotic stress tolerance to Arabidopsis thaliana. The genome sequence of SA187 was obtained by using Pacific BioScience (PacBio) single-molecule sequencing technology, with average coverage of 275X. The genome of SA187 consists of one single 4,429,597 bp chromosome, with an average 56% GC content and 4,347 predicted protein coding DNA sequences (CDS), 153 ncRNA, 7 rRNA, and 84 tRNA. Functional analysis of the SA187 genome revealed a large number of genes involved in uptake and exchange of nutrients, chemotaxis, mobilization and plant colonization. A high number of genes were also found to be involved in survival, defense against oxidative stress and production of antimicrobial compounds and toxins. Moreover, different metabolic pathways were identified that potentially contribute to plant growth promotion. The information encoded in the genome of SA187 reveals the characteristics of a dualistic lifestyle of a bacterium that can adapt to different environments and promote the growth of plants. This information provides a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in plant-microbe interaction and could be further exploited to develop SA187 as a biological agent to improve agricultural practices in marginal and arid lands.
