PROMOCIÓN DEL CRECIMIENTO DE Baccharis macrantha (ASTERACEAE) CON BACTERIAS SOLUBILIZADORAS DE FOSFATOS ASOCIADAS A SU RIZOSFERA

Abstract

<p>El objetivo de esta investigación fue aislar y caracterizar bacterias solubilizadoras de fosfatos (BSF) asociadas a la rizosfera de <em>Baccharis macrantha </em>y <em>Viburnum triphyllum,</em> y evaluar su capacidad para solubilizar fosfatos en condiciones <em>in vitro</em>. Además se determinó el efecto de la inoculaciónde las cepas de BSF más eficientes sobre el crecimiento de <em>B. macrantha</em>. Las muestras de suelo rizosférico de <em>B. macrantha </em>y <em>V. triphyllum </em>fueron colectadas en los meses de mayo-período de lluvia y septiembre-período seco del 2012. Para la cuantificación de bacterias heterótrofas cultivables y BSF se empleó el método de recuento en placa en los medios Agar Tripticasa de Soya y Pikovskaya (PVK) respectivamente. La capacidad de solubilización de fosfatos de las cepas aisladas se estimó a partir del diámetro de los halos formados alrededor de las colonias en el medio de cultivo PVK después de 7 días de incubación a 28 °C. Los ensayos de inoculación en <em>B. macrantha </em>se realizaron con las BSF más eficientes<em>. </em>La inoculación de las BSF <em>B. firmus y P. fluorescens</em> de forma individual y como inoculante combinado mostro un efecto benéfico, incrementando significativamente el porcentaje de germinación de semillas, la altura de la plántula, la longitud de la raíz y el peso seco de <em>B. macrantha</em>. La inoculación de BSF podría ser considerada una estrategia para mejorar el crecimiento y establecimiento de <em>B. macrantha</em> en pastizales abandonados.</p><p><strong>Growth Promotion of <em>Baccharis macrantha </em>(Asteraceae) by Phosphate Solubilizing Rhizosphere Bacteria</strong> </p><p>The objectives of this research was to isolate and characterize phosphate solubilizing bacteria (BSF) associated to the rhizosphere of <em>Baccharis macrantha</em> and <em>Viburnum triphyllum</em>, and to assess their ability to solubilize phosphate under conditions in vitro. Furthermore to determine the effect of inoculation of the strains BSF more efficient on the growth of <em>B. macrantha</em>. Rhizosphere soil samples of <em>B. macrantha</em> and <em>V. triphyllum </em>were collected in the months of May-rainy season and September-period dry the 2012. Trypticase Soya Agar and Pikovskaya (PVK) were used for quantification of culturable heterotrophic bacteria and BSF, respectively. The phosphate solubilizing capacity of the isolated strains was estimated from the diameter of the halo around the colonies formed in the culture medium PVK after 7 days incubation at 28 °C. Inoculation assays were performed with more efficient BSF in <em>B. macrantha. </em>Inoculation of BSF <em>Bacillus firmus</em> and <em>Pseudomona fluorescens </em>individually and as inoculant combined showed a beneficial effect, significantly increasing the percentage of seed germination, seedling height, root length and dry weight of <em>B . macrantha</em>. Inoculation the BSF could be considered a strategy to improve the growth and development of <em>B. macrantha</em> in abandoned pastures</p>

Detection of auxinic compounds in germinating seedlings

“…During the process of imbibition, the analyzed seeds released exudates that acidified the surrounding medium. This was caused possibly by the disintegration of the cell membranes that propitiate the release of organic acids, sugars, and ions among which the H + is, reflected in a pH decrease (Ávila et al, 2015;Pérez-Rodríguez et al, 2016). This is associated with the nutrient absorption mechanism as this condition makes the nutrients present available, facilitating plant growth processes (Tsunoda and Van Dam, 2017;Van and Bouwmeester, 2016).…”

Microbial Diversity of Psychrotolerant Bacteria Isolated from Wild Flora of Andes Mountains and Patagonia of Chile towards the Selection of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterial Consortia to Alleviate Cold Stress in Plants

“…Notably, this is the first study of bacteria associated with Calycera, Orites, and Chusquea plant genera. Previous reports highlight the isolation of bacteria with plant growth-promoting properties from Thlaspi, Baccharis, Nothofagus, Haplopappus, Gnaphalium, and Gaultheria [67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. In contrast, only pathogenic bacteria have been associated with Berberis [74].…”
