Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the diversity of cultivable phosphate solubilising (PSB) and total bacteria originated from 384 rhizospheric acidic soils samples of tea plants grown at 32 locations. Over 900 rhizoplane bacteria were randomly selected from agar-solidified trypticase soy broth, and identified using fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles. Based on FAME profiles, 53 bacterial genera were identified with a similarity index >0.3, but 60.3% of the identified isolates belonged to five genera: Bacillus (34.6%), Pseudomonas (8.9%), Stenotrophomonas (6.1%), Paenibacillus (5.9%) and Arthrobacter (4.8%). The bacilli group comprised many different species, with the most abundant being B. cereus, B. megaterium and B. sphaericus. The main identified Pseudomonads included P. fluorescens, P. putida, and P. alcaligenes. About 30.4% of the bacterial isolates could not be classified to genus since their similarity indices were <0.3 indicating no close matches. Most of the total and P-solubilizing bacteria isolated were Gram positive (61.3 and 52.3%), and Gram negative constituted only 38.7 and 47.7%. Out of the 214 PSB from a pool of 506 bacterial isolates recovered on the selective media from the rhizosphere of tea, 74 of them were characterized by carbon sources using BIOLOG M GN2 and GP2 plates. Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Paenibacillus and Stenotrophomonas genera were the most prominent P-solubilizing groups in the rhizosphere and soil populations analyzed. B. cereus, P. fluorescens, S. maltophilia, B. megaterium, P. putida, B. sphaericus and Paenibacillus polymyxa were the most frequent P-solubilizing species in the acidic tea rhizosohere soils. Selected Gram-positive PSB appeared to favour carbohydrates, and Gramnegative bacteria appeared to favour carboxylic acids, amino acids and carbohydrates as carbon sources. Selected phosphate solubilizing acid tolerant strains showed high variability in utilizing various carbon sources.

Colonization of rhizosphere of tea by growth promoting bacteria
Niladri Bag

2005

Based on a detailed study conducted to isolate microbes from soil samples collected from various tea gardens located in the Indian Himalayan region, two bacteria namely Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas corrugata have been selected as promising inoculants for field application in tea gardens. Bioassays based on the inoculation of seed raised and tissue culture raised tea plants had earlier indicated the biocontrol and growth promotion properties of selected bacteria. With a view to introduce these bacterial isolates eventually in the tea gardens, suspension cultures were raised and applied (inoculated) in the rhizosphere region of both seedling and cutting raised (four clones) young tea plants under net-house conditions. Monthly enumeration of bacterial (including free living nitrogen fixers), fungal and actinomycetes populations, up to a period of one year, indicated excellent rhizosphere colonization by the inoculated bacteria. The presence of "introduced" bacteria in the rhizosphere was confirmed by the use of antibiotic markers. The inoculated tea plants have been transferred to new plantation sites, near Kausani in District Bageshwar, Uttaranchal for further monitoring of growth and overall performance.

Isolation Of Bacterial Strains From Compost Teas And Screening Of Their PGPR Properties
Cyrine ABID

2022

The beneficial effect of compost and compost tea on plant growth and protection is mainly associated with the microbial diversity and the presence of bacteria with Plant Growth Promoting effect. PGPR are considered as eco-friendly bio-fertilizers that may reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Three Composts (AT, A10 and A30) were previously prepared from industrial wastes (olive mill wastewater, olive pomace, coffee ground and phosphogypsum). In the present study we isolated three bacterial strains from the compost teas. The phylogenetic identification of these bacterial strains (B.AT, B.A10 and B.A30) showed that they were affiliated with Serratia plymuthica (B.AT), Serratia grimesii (B.A10) and Achromobacter piechaudii (B.A30) species. A characterization of the PGPR traits of these three bacteria was carried out in vitro (Siderophore, Exopolysaccharides, IAA production…) and the study of their effect on potato plants growth, yields and tuber quality was studied un...

Relationship between acidity and microbiological properties in some tea soils
Piw Das

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2007

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different forms of soil acidities on microbial biomass C, ergosterol content, microbial metabolic quotient, microbial respiration quotient, and fluorescein diacetatehydrolyzing activity of some tea-growing soils of India. Total potential and exchangeable acidity and extractable and exchangeable aluminum were higher in Tripura followed by Jalpaiguri and Kharagpur soil. Different forms of acidity were significantly and positively correlated with each other. All the microbiological properties investigated were significantly and positively correlated with soil organic C content. The ratio of organic C with microbial parameters was significantly and negatively correlated with different forms of acidity. Principal component analysis indicated that the microbial activities were not directly affected by the extractable aluminum and total potential acidity. Although the tea soils had higher microbial biomass and activities because of higher organic matter content than other soils, the ratios of microbial parameters/organic carbon indicated that inhibition of microbial growth and activities had occurred because of acidity stress.

Kurthia Sp, a Novel Member of Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria from Rhizospheric Tea Soil of Darjeeling Hills, India
Binod Sharma, Rashi Subba

IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences, 2012

Rhizospheric soil from tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze] bushes of Darjeeling hills was screened for the presence of phosphate solubilising bacterial populations on Pikovskayas agar. One of the potent strains was identified as Kurthia sp. In vitro tricalcium phosphate solubilising ability of this strain was determined as 40.62±1.1 mg/l with a drop in pH from 7.0 to 5.60 indicating the importance of acid production in the solubilisation process. This strain also produced growth regulating substance (IAA) under in-vitro conditions in the presence of precursor tryptophan. The amount of IAA released was 17.5 mg/l. This genus is considered as new novel member as phosphate solubilisers which may be developed as phosphatic biofertilizers after further characterisation in field conditions.

Tea rhizosphere : characteristics, features, microbial diversity and applications
Anita Pandey

2001

In recent years tea (Camellia sinensis) rhizosphere has been examined in some detail. particularly in relation to plant-microbe interactions. The discovery of the presence of a &#39;negative rhizosphere effect&#39; in established (not young) tea bushes is considered to be an interesting and a novel characteristic of tea rhizosphere. Other important and associated features include colonizatiton of tea rhizosphere soil pH, etc.These findings have opened up newer avenues for further investigations in the field of &#39;rhizosphere microbiology&#39;. As the tea bushes grow old. their rhizosphere is colonized by relatively lesser number of microbes indicating Increasing selectivity with age. Dominance of a specific microbial population, belonging to the community of general antagonists, represents a fine example of mutual selection in nature. In this paper an attempt has been made to review the distinguishing features associated with the microbial activity and microbial diversity in the t...

Presence of phytate-solubilizing microorganisms in tea soils of northeast India and their efficiency to solubilize bound P in soil
shamina Safique

Phosphorus availability is a major problem in the tea growing soils of northeast India. Applied inorganic phosphorus compounds are readily bound with soil colloids and become unavailable to plants. Phytate compounds are the most stable forms of organic phosphorus in soil. This study was initiated to find out whether microorganisms are capable of solubilizing such stable P compounds from tea soil and whether P availability can be enhanced after application of such microorganisms. The isolated strains were inoculated in soil under laboratory condition and incubation studies were carried out and available P was monitored after 15 days. It was observed that there is potential for such phytate solubilising organisms to mine native P and that fungal strains were more effective than bacterial ones.

Isolation and characterization of phosphate solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere of crop plants of Korea
sundaram seshadri

Soil Biology & Biochemistry, 2005

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria are frequently used as plant growth promoters. A study was conducted to isolate phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from aerobic rice grown in Penang Malaysia and to determine some biochemical properties of the isolates such as, organic acids, enzymes, indoleacetic acid (IAA), siderophore production and its antagonistic effect against pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. Selective media used for the isolation were; Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), national botanical research institute's phosphate growth medium (NBRIP), Pikovskaya and Pseudomonas spp. (PS). Organic acid production was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The PSB populations were higher in rhizosphere than non-rhizospheric soil and the highest population was found in PS and Pikovskaya, while the lowest was found in PA media plates. The highest P solubilizing activity (69.58%) was found in PSB9 strain grown in NBRIP plate. Isolated PSB were able to produce different organic acids and growth hormone such as IAA. A number of PSB isolates belong to the Bacillus sp. and proved for the antagonistic effect against R. solani (sheath blight) even though most of the isolated strains can grow in nitrogen, free semi-solid medium and able to produce siderophore. PSB inoculants with their beneficial traits would be considered as potential biofertilizer for the sustainable aerobic rice cultivation system.

Isolation and biological characterization of phosphate solubilizing bacteria strains from the rhizospheric soils of corn in Mali
Amadou Hamadoun Babana

2012

Forty-eight bacteria isolates from the rhizosphere of three cultivars of corn and three different soils were examined for their phosphate solubiling ability. The tests were realized on NBRIP (National Botanical Research Institute of Phosphate Growth medium) containing the Tilemsi phosphate rock (TPR) as the only source of insoluble phosphorus. All the isolates solubilized the TPR in solid and liquid media. Twenty isolates were selected for their high solubilizing capacity in liquid medium (105 to 311 mg P/ ml/g of TPR). These isolates were submitted to different stress conditions (acid medium with pH 7 to 5, five successive growths and the temperature range of 30°C to 45°C). Only six isolates (I 1 , I 2 , I 3 , I 4 I 5 ad I 6) were able to maintain their ability of solubilizing the TPR and also they were not antagonistics. These selected isolates were also tested for their solubilization efficiency (SE) of TPR and phytate on NBRIP solid medium containing the TPR and phytate as the only insoluble source of phosphorus and phytate respectively. The maximum solubilization (300%) for TPR was obtained with the isolate I 5 and 167% for phytate with the isolate I 1. It has been observed that the bacteria isolates have an average solubilization capacity of 18.54 kg P 2 O 5 out off 30 kg contained in 100 kg of PNT. The same bacteria strains were tested for their plant growth promotion (PGPR) characteristics which indicated that all produced low molecular weight Organic Acids, Siderophores, Indole Acetic Acid (IAA or auxine), but none of them produced the Hydrocyanic Acid (HCN).

Study of tolerance ability in phosphate solubilising microorganisms isolated from tea plantations soil of lower Darjeeling hills
Sukanya Acharyya

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2021

Background Tea is an important plantation crop in India and world. Introduction of fertilisers and pesticides for better production polluted tea garden soils. Phosphates in agricultural soils are converted into soluble forms by phosphate solubilising microorganisms (PSMs). Consortium of PSM having high tolerance level is an attractive option for bioremediation of degraded tea plantation soils. This research initiative was to isolate PSM from tea plantation soil and detect their tolerance against pesticide, antibiotic and antifungal. Results Isolated consortia from organic and inorganic tea plantation soils of Darjeeling showing halo was considered for tolerance study. Phorate was most and Deltamethrin was the least tolerant pesticide for the isolated PSM consortia. So, Phorate may be considered as most used or most accumulated pesticide. Erythromycin was most and Ofloxacin was the least tolerant antibiotic while Fluconazole was most and Itraconazole was the least tolerant antifungal...

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria from soils with varying environmental conditions: Occurrence and function
Faouzi Errachidi

PLOS ONE, 2023

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is an advantageous way to supply phosphate (P) to plants. The Mediterranean climate of Morocco, especially the low-lying areas, is semi-arid with nutrient-depleted soils in which small-scale, low-income farmers dominate without access to expensive inorganic fertilizers. However, there is not a wide range of PSBs suitable for various agroecological situations. Furthermore, our understanding of the soil and climatic variables that influence their development is limited. This study aims to examine the impacts of specific environmental factors, such as climate and soil, on the abundance, potential, and diversity of PSBs in four agricultural regions of Morocco. To assess the possible impact of these factors on the P solubilization capacity of PSBs and plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits, we analyzed the soil and climate of each sample studied. Similarly, we tested the P solubilization efficiency of the isolates. The bacteria were isolated in a National Botanical Research Institute's phosphate (NBRIP) agar medium. A total of 51 PSBs were studied in this work. The P-solubilization average of Rock P (RP) and Tricalcium P (TCP) of all strains that were isolated from each of the four regions ranged from 18.69 mg.L -1 to 40.43 mg.L -1 and from 71.71 mg.L -1 to 94.54 mg.L -1 , respectively. The PGP traits of the isolated strains are positively correlated with the PSBs abundance and the sample characteristics (soil and climate). The morphological and biochemical characteristics of the strain allowed us to identify around nine different bacterial genera, including Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Rhizobium. The findings showed that bacterial communities, density, and potency are closely correlated to various edapho-climatic conditions such as temperature, precipitation, soil nutrient status, and soil texture. These findings could be used to improve an effective plant-PSBs system and increase agricultural output by taking into account their specific ecological traits and plant growth mechanisms.

Diversity and Metabolic Potential of the Dominant Culturable N<sub>2</sub>-Fixing and P-Solubilising Bacteria from Tea (<i>Camellia sinensis</i> L.) Rhizosphere
Ramazan Çakmakçı

Frontiers in Environmental Microbiology, 2018

The purpose of this study was to investigate the diversity of cultivable N 2-fixing and P-solubilizing bacteria originated from 167 rhizospheric acidic soils samples of tea. Based on the fatty acid methyl ester profiles, 34 bacterial genera were identified with a similarity index of >0.3, but 69.2% of the identified isolates belonged to five genera: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Paenibacillus, Stenotrophomonas and Arthrobacter. Among the 263 bacterial strains, 213 strains exhibited N 2fixing activity and 159 were efficient in phosphate solubilisation; 134 strains were efficient in N 2-fixation and P-solubilisation. Most of the N 2-fixing and P-solubilizing bacteria isolated were Gram-positive (59.3 and 52.8%), and Gram-negative constituted only 40.7 and 47.2%. A total of 102 dominant strains were characterized by carbon sources using BIOLOG M GN2 and GP2 plates. B. pumilus, B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, B. laevolacticus, P. fluorescens, P. putida, S. maltophilia and B. megaterium were the most frequent P-solubilizing and N 2-fixing species in the tea rhizosphere soils. Utilization of high variety of C-sources by the N 2-fixing and P-solubilizing acid tolerant strains may play an important role in adapting to a variety of crop plants, and thus potentially beneficial to the growth of tea plants in that specific acidic ecosystem.

Characterization of Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria Isolated from the Tea Rhizospheric Soil from Darjeeling Hills
Binod Sharma, Rashi Subba

2021

Most soils contain insoluble inorganic phosphates but they are of no use to crops unless it is solubilised. Hence phosphate solubilising microorganisms play a key role in solubilising the tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and make it available to the plants. The present study was aimed to isolate and characterize the selected phosphate solubilizing bacteria from rhizospheric soil of tea from Singla Tea Estate, Darjeeling. Bacteria which showed clear zones in Pikovskaya’s agar were selected and screened for further characterization. The two isolates were found to solubilise TCP in Pikovskaya agar and were designated as GCS1 and GCS2. In vitro phosphate solubilisation ability of these isolates was determined and it was observed that phosphate solubilisation was associated with the reduction in the pH of the medium. These isolates were also found to produce growth promoting substance IAA. These isolates were found to survive well at different pH levels of 5, 7 and 9 and at two different tempe...

The phospate soluble capability of Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. as Superior Solubilizing Phospate Exogenous Bacteria _SPB_ on Andisols as tea planting area
Mieke Rochimi Setiawati, Eko Pranoto

In Indonesia, tea was planted dominant on uplands area with 52-55% from the total area on Andisols as soil of tea planting area. The range of pH was 4,5 -5,6 made high retention of phosphate was the main problem on tea plantation. The used of Superior Solubilizing Phosphate Exogenous Bacteria (SPB) was one of the problem solving. Laboratory-scale experiments have been conducted to test the phosphate soluble capability from SPB on Andisols. The inoculant source of SPB from agricultural food plants with elevation 600 -800 m above sea level. The strain that used were: Pseudomonas cepaceae, P. malei, Bacillus mycoides, and B. subtilis. The experiment was using a Completely Randomized Design with six treatments and four repeated. The ANOVA's analysis was not significant in increase the soluble-P. Even it, the treatment D (Bacillus mycoides) was the highest soluble-P. The capability from solubilizing phosphate bacteria to increase P-soluble depend on the pH of soil. Even Pseudomonas cepaceae, P. malei, Bacillus mycoides, and B. subtilis were the superior solubilizing phosphate bacteria on agricultural food plants soil, but they have not significantly different on Andisols. So, for the better results, may use the indigenous isolate. Citation: Setiawati M.R., Pranoto E., 2014.

Diversity and functional properties of acid-tolerant bacteria isolated from tea plantation soil of Assam
Pompi Das

3 Biotech, 2017

In this study, we report on the bacterial diversity and their functional properties prevalent in tea garden soils of Assam that have low pH (3.8-5.5). Culture-dependent studies and phospholipid fatty acid analysis revealed a high abundance of Gram-positive bacteria. Further, 70 acid-tolerant bacterial isolates characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach could be grouped to the genus Bacillus, Lysinibacillus, Staphylococcus, Brevundimonas, Alcaligenes, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Escherichia, and Aeromonas. Among the 70 isolates, 47 most promising isolates were tested for their plant growth promoting activity based on the production of Indole Acetic Acid (IAA), siderophore, and HCN as well as solubilization of phosphate, zinc, and potassium. Out of the 47 isolates, 10 isolates tested positive for the entire aforesaid plant growth promoting tests and further tested for quantitative analyses for production of IAA, siderophore, and phosphate solubilization at the acidic and neutral...

    Multifarious beneficial traits and plant growth promoting potential of Serratia marcescens KiSII and Enterobacter sp. RNF 267 isolated from the rhizosphere of coconut palms (Cocos nucifera L.)
    Murali Gopal

    World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2013

    Two plant growth promoting bacteria designated as KiSII and RNF 267 isolated from the rhizosphere of coconut palms were identified as Serratia marcescens and Enterobacter sp. based on their phenotypic features, BIOLOG studies and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Both bacteria exhibited phosphate solubilization, ammonification, and production of indole acetic acid, β-1, 3 glucanase activities and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate-deaminase activity. They could also tolerate a range of pH conditions, low temperature and salinity (NaCl). In addition, S. marcescens KiSII exhibited N- fixation potential, chitinase activity, siderophore production and antibiotics production. Seed bacterization with these bacteria increased the growth parameters of test plants such as paddy and cowpea over uninoculated control in green house assay. In coconut seedlings, significant increase in growth and nutrient uptake accompanied with higher populations of plant beneficial microorganisms in their rhizosp...

    Assessment of functional and genetic diversity of aerobic endospore forming Bacilli from rhizospheric soil of Phyllanthus amarus L
    Manju Panghal

    World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013

    Fifty two aerobic and endospore forming Bacilli (AEFB) strains were recovered from rhizospheric soil of Phyllanthus amarus. Morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization by 16S rDNA gene sequencing has shown that these bacterial strains belong to six different genera of AEFB i.e. Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, Terribacillus and Jeotgalibacillus. Analysis of their PGP activities has shown that 92.30 % strains produced indole acetic acid hormone, 86.53 % of the strains solubilized Phosphate and 44.23 % strains produced siderophore. Chitinase production activity was shown by 42.30 % of the strains and 21.15 % of the strains produced 1-amino cyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. 46.15 % of isolates have shown antagonistic activity against common fungal pathogen of the plant i.e. Corynespora cassiicola. Among all of the isolated strains B. Cereus JP44SK22 and JP44SK42 have shown all of the six plant growth promoting traits tested. B. megaterium strains (JP44SK18 and JP44SK35), Lysinibacillus sphaericus strains (JP44SK3 and JP44SK4) and Brevibacillus laterosporus strain JP44SK51 have also shown multiple PGP activities except ACC deaminase production activity. In the present study bacterial strain belonging to genera Jeotgalibacillus sp. JP44SK37 has been reported first time as a member of rhizospheric soil habitat and has also shown PGP activities. It can be concluded that Rhizosphere of P. amarus has harboured a good diversity of AEFB bacterial strains having a lot of biofertilizing and biocontrol abilities.

    Restoration of Long-Term Monoculture Degraded Tea Orchard by Green and Goat Manures Applications System
    Puleng Letuma

    Sustainability

    Tea is an economic shrubby plant in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. To obtain high yield in tea cultivation, chemical fertilizer application rates have generally been used. However, a large quantity of chemical fertilizer application in a long-term continuously ratooned and monoculture tea orchard can inevitably lead to soil acidification and a decline in fertility. Therefore, the restoration of soil fertility and the sustainable development of tea planting by organic ways are critical for the tea industry. In this study, field trials were conducted in the tea orchard that was continuously ratooned and mono-cultured for 20 years. Nitrogen fertilizer (NF), Laredo soybeans green manure (LF), and goat manure (GM) treatments were applied to restore optimum acidity, soil fertility, microbial activity, and the community structure of a long-term continuously monoculture tea orchard. This paper investigated that the pH value was increased from 4.23 to 4.32 in GM and LF, respe...

    The Role of Soil Beneficial Bacteria in Wheat Production: A Review
    Bülent Topcuoğlu

    Wheat Improvement, Management and Utilization, 2017

    Free-living plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have favourable effect on plant growth, tolerance against stresses and are considered as a promising alternative to inorganic fertilizer for promoting plant growth, yield and quality. PGPR colonize at the plant root, increase germination rates, promote root growth, yield, leaf area, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content, protein content, tolerance to drought, shoot and root weight, and delayed leaf senescence. Several important bacterial characteristics, such as biological nitrogen fixation, solubilization of inorganic phosphate and mineralization of organic phosphate, nutrient uptake, 1-aminocydopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity and production of siderophores and phytohormones, can be assessed as plant growth promotion traits. By efficient use, PGPR is expected to contribute to agronomic efficiency, chiefly by decreasing costs and environmental pollution, by eliminating harmful chemicals. This review discusses various bacteria acting as PGPR, their genetic diversity, screening strategies, working principles, applications for wheat and future aspects in terms of efficiency, mechanisms and the desirable properties. The elucidation of the diverse mechanisms will enable microorganisms developing agriculture further.

    Influence of land use on bacterial and archaeal diversity and community structures in three natural ecosystems and one agricultural soil
    Tin Mar Lynn

    Archives of microbiology, 2017

    Studying shifts in microbial communities under different land use can help in determining the impact of land use on microbial diversity. In this study, we analyzed four different land-use types to determine their bacterial and archaeal diversity and abundance. Three natural ecosystems, that is, wetland (WL), grassland (GL), and forest (FR) soils, and one agricultural soil, that is, tea plantation (TP) soil, were investigated to determine how land use shapes bacterial and archaeal diversity. For this purpose, molecular analyses, such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR), 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), were used. Soil physicochemical properties were determined, and statistical analyses were performed to identify the key factors affecting microbial diversity in these soils. Phylogenetic affiliations determined using the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) database and T-RFLP revealed that the soils had differing bacte...
