“…Ethnopharmacology supports the use of Sansevieria preparations in various ailments, such as earache, menstrual and labor pains, malaria, and conditions related to the heart, liver, kidney, lung, skin, gastroenteric tract 54 – 62 and also more profoundly as a remedy to snake bites 63 – 66 . Sansevieria trifasciata (ST) has been appraised by NASA for its air pollution-absorption potentials 47 , 67 , and other many species in the genus also variously show bioremediation prospects 68 – 72 . In addition, numerous phytochemicals and potent bioactives have been identified in many Sansevieria species 73 – 75 .…”

A peculiar bacterial growth was very often noticed in leaf-initiated tissue cultures of Sansevieriatrifasciata, a succulent belonging to the Asparagaceae family. The isolate left trails of some highly viscous material on the walls of the suspension vessels or developed a thick overlay on semisolid media without adversities in plant growth. FTIR identified this substance to be an extracellular polysaccharide. Various morphological, biochemical tests, and molecular analyses using 16S rRNA, atpD, and recA genes characterized this isolate JAS1 as a novel strain of Agrobacteriumpusense. Its mucoidal growth over Murashige and Skoog media yielded enormous exopolysaccharide (7252 mg l−1), while in nutrient agar it only developed fast-growing swarms. As a qualifying plant growth-promoting bacteria, it produces significant indole-3-acetic acid (86.95 mg l−1), gibberellic acid (172.98 mg l−1), ammonia (42.66 µmol ml−1). Besides, it produces siderophores, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylicaciddeaminase, fixes nitrogen, forms biofilms, and productively solubilizes soil inorganic phosphates, and zinc. Under various treatments with JAS1, wheat and chickpea resulted in significantly enhanced shoot and root growth parameters. PGP effects of JAS1 positively enhanced plants’ physiological growth parameters reflecting significant increments in overall chlorophyll, carotenoids, proline, phenols, flavonoids, and sugar contents. In addition, the isolated strain maintained both plant and soil health under an intermittent soil drying regime, probably by both its PGP and EPS production attributes, respectively.
