“…The ability of strain Q11 T to produce indole acetic acid (IAA) was evaluated [41], and the yield of IAA was quantitatively at the 535 nm wavelength. The nitrogen fixation ability of strain Q11 T was evaluated [42], and the nitrogenase activity of the strain was determined by a nitrogenase enzyme-linked immunoassay kit (LMAI Bio, Shanghai, China).…”

Strain Q11T of an irregular coccoid Gram-positive bacterium, aerobic and non-motile, was isolated from Meconopsis integrifolia seeds. Strain Q11T grew optimally in 1% (w/v) NaCl, pH 7, at 30 °C. Strain Q11T is most closely related to Flexivirga, as evidenced by 16S rRNA gene analysis, and shares the highest similarity with Flexivirga aerilata ID2601ST (99.24%). Based on genome sequence analysis, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of strains Q11T and D2601ST were 88.82% and 36.20%, respectively. Additionally, strain Q11T showed the abilities of nitrogen fixation and indole acetic acid production and was shown to promote maize growth under laboratory conditions. Its genome contains antibiotic resistance genes (the vanY gene in the vanB cluster and the vanW gene in the vanI cluster) and extreme environment tolerance genes (ectoine biosynthetic gene cluster). Shotgun proteomics also detected antibiotic resistance proteins (class A beta-lactamases, D-alanine ligase family proteins) and proteins that improve plant cold tolerance (multispecies cold shock proteins). Strain Q11T was determined to be a novel species of the genus Flexivirga, for which the name Flexivirga meconopsidis sp. nov. is proposed. The strain type is Q11T (GDMCC 1.3002T = JCM 36020 T).

Prevalence, diversity and applications potential of nodules endophytic bacteria: a systematic review

Legumes are renowned for their distinctive biological characteristic of forming symbiotic associations with soil bacteria, mostly belonging to the Rhizobiaceae familiy, leading to the establishment of symbiotic root nodules. Within these nodules, rhizobia play a pivotal role in converting atmospheric nitrogen into a plant-assimilable form. However, it has been discerned that root nodules of legumes are not exclusively inhabited by rhizobia; non-rhizobial endophytic bacteria also reside within them, yet their functions remain incompletely elucidated. This comprehensive review synthesizes available data, revealing that Bacillus and Pseudomonas are the most prevalent genera of nodule endophytic bacteria, succeeded by Paenibacillus, Enterobacter, Pantoea, Agrobacterium, and Microbacterium. To date, the bibliographic data available show that Glycine max followed by Vigna radiata, Phaseolus vulgaris and Lens culinaris are the main hosts for nodule endophytic bacteria. Clustering analysis consistently supports the prevalence of Bacillus and Pseudomonas as the most abundant nodule endophytic bacteria, alongside Paenibacillus, Agrobacterium, and Enterobacter. Although non-rhizobial populations within nodules do not induce nodule formation, their presence is associated with various plant growth-promoting properties (PGPs). These properties are known to mediate important mechanisms such as phytostimulation, biofertilization, biocontrol, and stress tolerance, emphasizing the multifaceted roles of nodule endophytes. Importantly, interactions between non-rhizobia and rhizobia within nodules may exert influence on their leguminous host plants. This is particularly shown by co-inoculation of legumes with both types of bacteria, in which synergistic effects on plant growth, yield, and nodulation are often measured. Moreover these effects are pronounced under both stress and non-stress conditions, surpassing the impact of single inoculations with rhizobia alone.

Salt stress is one of the significant abiotic stress factors that exert harmful effects on plant growth and yield. In this study, five cultivars of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) were treated with different concentrations of NaCl and also inoculated with a salt-tolerant bacterial strain to assess their growth and yield. The bacterial strain was isolated from the saline soil of Sahiwal District, Punjab, Pakistan and identified as Bacillus pseudomycoides. Plant growth was monitored at 15-days interval and finally harvested after 120 days at seed set. Both sodium and potassium uptake in above and below-ground parts were assessed using a flame photometer. Fresh and dry mass, number of pods, seeds per plant, weight of seeds per plant and weight of 100 seeds reduced significantly as the concentration of NaCl increased from 3 to 15 dSm−1. There was a significant reduction in the growth and yield of plants exposed to NaCl stress without bacterial inoculum compared to the plants with bacterial inoculum. The latter plants showed a significant increase in the studied parameters. It was found that the cultivar Inqelab mung showed the least reduction in growth and yield traits among the studied cultivars, while Ramzan mung showed the maximum reduction. Among all the cultivars, maximum Na+ uptake occurred in roots, while the least uptake was observed in seeds. The study concludes that NaCl stress significantly reduces the growth and yield of mung bean cultivars, but Bacillus pseudomycoides inoculum alleviates salt stress. These findings will be helpful to cultivate the selected cultivars in soils with varying concentrations of NaCl.
