Role of Pseudomonas aurantiaca in Crop Improvement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bacteria in Agrobiology: Plant Growth Responses

Abstract

Pseudomonas aurantiaca SR1 was initially identified by the BIOLOG method and, later, by partial sequencing of the 16 S ribosomal RNA gene. This strain produces 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, siderophores and hydrogen cyanide; also, it was found to inhibit the growth of different pathogenic fungi and to promote plant growth by phytohormone-like mechanisms, through the production of indole-3-acetic acid. P. aurantiaca SR1, either alone or in combination with Sinorhizobium meliloti 3DOh13/Bradyrhizobium japonicum E109, was used to evaluate its effect on alfalfa and soybean growth. Coinoculation of alfalfa with P. aurantiaca SR1 and S. meliloti 3DOh13 resulted in the formation of a higher number of nodules as compared to single inoculation with the Sinorhizobium strain, under sterile conditions. Plant N content was also significantly increased in coinoculation experiments. Additionally, a plant growth-promoting effect on soybean was observed. Coinoculation of P. aurantiaca SR1 and B. japonicum E109 caused an increase in dry matter accumulation of both shoot and root system, although the number of nodules did not significantly differ from that of single inoculation with B. japonicum. Thus, our studies suggest a potential use of combinations of this strain and rhizobia in order to improve growth of alfalfa and soybean.
