Mutational approach for N2-fixing and P-solubilizing mutant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae RSN19 by microwave mutagenesis

Abstract: Nitrogen (N) fixing Klebsiella pneumoniae RSN19 has high inorganic phosphorus (P) solubilizing capability, but its N2-fixing capability is limited. In order to acquire a P-solubilizing mutant strain with high efficiency N-fixing capability, different microwave irradiation intensities and durations were tested on RSN19 in an attempt to produce mutants with improved N2-fixation and P-solubilization capabilities. The effect of microwave irradiation power and time were studied and the microwave mutagenesis paramet… Show more

“…The maize and soybean roots were shaken carefully inside plastic bags in order to separate the soil from the roots. The rhizosphere soil samples were serially diluted and inoculated on modified Pikovskaya’ s 26 27 agar medium containing 5 g/L insoluble inorganic forms of P (tricalcium phosphate). Petri plates were incubated at 28 °C for 10 days.…”

“…Apart from their role as human and animal pathogens, Klebsiella spp. play a role in nitrogen fixation for plants (Govindarajan et al 2007;Li et al 2011). Other importance of these genus includes its bioremediation potential; for instance, Klebsiella variicola has shown potential as eco-friendly biological expedients for the remediation and detoxification of Cr(VI) from the contaminated environments (Kabir et al 2018).…”

“…The mutagenesis effect of microwave irradiation on T. harzianum was preliminarily studied, the results of existing studies showed that microwave irradiation could cause changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in T. harzianum, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and so on (Kushwah et al, 2013). We speculated that this not only affected the survival rate of T. harzianum after mutagenesis, but also may be related to its antimicrobial activity and sporulation (Li et al, 2011).…”
