Abstract The root microbiota is critical for agricultural yield, with growth-promoting bacteria able to solubilise phosphate, produce plant growth hormones, antagonise pathogens and fix N 2 . Plants control the microorganisms in their immediate environment this at least part through direct selection, immune system, interactions other microorganisms. Considering importance of crop yields it attractive artificially regulate optimise productivity. Towards aim we express a synthetic pathway...
Engineering N2-fixing symbioses between cereals and diazotrophic bacteria represents a promising strategy to sustainably deliver biologically fixed nitrogen (N) in agriculture. We previously developed novel transkingdom signaling plants bacteria, through plant production of the bacterial signal rhizopine, allowing control gene expression association with plant. Here, we have both homozygous rhizopine producing (RhiP) barley line hybrid uptake system that conveys upon our model bacterium...
Abstract Enterobacter cloacae GS1 was isolated by in‐planta enrichment of a rice rhizoplane bacterial community. It displayed strong seed adherence ability (2.5 × 10 5 cfu/seed) and colonized roots reaching up to 1.65 9 cfu/g fresh root weight in gnotobiotic colonization system. E. motile, able solubilize tricalcium phosphate, produced indole acetic acid like substances (15 μg/ml). As an introduced bioinoculant non‐sterile soil, significantly improved the weight, length, shoot nitrogen...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PGPR2 is a mung bean rhizosphere strain that produces secondary metabolites and hydrolytic enzymes contributing to excellent antifungal activity against Macrophomina phaseolina , one of the prevalent fungal pathogens bean. Genome sequencing was performed using Ion Torrent Personal Machine generating 1,354,732 reads (6,772,433 sequenced bases) achieving ~25-fold coverage genome. Reference genome assembly MIRA 3.4.0 yielded 198 contigs. The draft encoded 6803 open...
ABSTRACT Enterobacter cloacae GS1 is a plant growth-promoting bacterium which colonizes rice roots. In the rhizosphere environment, N -acyl homoserine lactone (NAHL)-like quorum-sensing signals are known to be produced by host plants and other microbial inhabitants. E. was unable synthesize NAHL but had NAHL-dependent transcriptional regulator-encoding gene sdiA . This study aimed at understanding effects of SdiA cross talk in root colonization GS1. Pleiotropic inactivation included...
Abstract Engineering signalling between plants and microbes could be exploited to establish host‐specificity plant‐growth‐promoting bacteria target crops in the environment. We previously engineered rhizopine‐signalling circuitry facilitating exclusive rhizopine‐producing ( RhiP ) model bacterial strains. Here, we conduct an in‐depth analysis of rhizopine‐inducible expression bacteria. characterize two promoters explore host‐range rhizopine biosensor plasmids. By tuning uptake genes, also...
Here, we present the genome sequence of Enterobacter cloacae GS1. This strain proficiently colonizes rice roots and promotes plant growth by improving nutrition. Analyses E. GS1 will throw light on genetic factors involved in root colonization, promotion, ecological success this rhizobacterium.
ABSTRACT Here we report the genome sequence of a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium, Pseudomonas putida S11. The length draft is approximately 5,970,799 bp, with G+C content 62.4%. contains 6,076 protein-coding sequences.
