Results showed that three strains were re-introduced into S. alfredii rhizosphere soils under Zn stress and resulted in better plant growth, as roots biomass increased from 80% to 525% and shoot biomass from 11% to 47% compared with the uninoculated ones. Strains IVsLz, II8L4 and IVsR2 significantly increased shoot and root Zn concentrations in the ZnCO3 contaminated soil. Inoculation with strain IVsL2 resulted in 44% and 39% higher shoot and root Zn concentrations, while strain IV8R2 significantly decreased shoot Zn concentration in the Zn3(PO4)2 contaminated soils. In the aged contaminated soil, isolates IVsL2, IIsL4 and IVsR2 significantly increased root Zn concentration, but decreased shoot Zn concentration of Sedum alfredii. It suggested that endophytes might be used for enhancing phytoextraction efficiency.展开更多

[Method] Chinese cabbages were used as experimental materials and irrigated with control water, 50% reclaimed water and 100% reclaimed water, and then the number of endophytic bacteria in Chinese cab- bages was measured. [Result] Using 50% reclaimed water, the fresh weight of Chi- nese cabbage was improved by 68.94%; however, with the deepening internalization of exogenous microorganism internalization, the total number of endophytic bacteria and coliform flock in Chinese cabbages treated with 50% reclaimed water was sig- nificantly higher than the other two treatment groups (P〈0.05). [Conclusion] Re- claimed water enhances both the weight of Chinese cabbage and the number of endophytic bacteria, which is unsuitable for irrigation of edible crops such as Chi- nese cabbage. Strengthening disinfection during the process of sewerage treatment could solve this problem.展开更多

[Method] The endophytic fungi of P. polyphylla were isolated and identified morphologically, and their effects on the embryo development of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis seeds were studied by using paraffin sectioning and microphotography. [Result] Nine endophytic fungi, i.e. P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis endophytic fungi PPYEF-1, PPYEF-2, PPYEF-3, PPYEF-4, PPYEF-5, PPYEF-6, PPYEF-7, PPYEF-8 and PPYEF-9 belonging to seven genera in five families, three orders were isolated from the rhizomes. Except PPYEF-4 (Cladosporium sp.), other fungi could promote the embryo development of the P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis seeds, mostly reaching the extremely significant or significant level. PPYEF-9 (Trichoderma sp.) resulted in the highest embryo length and embryo-emerging ratio.

[Method] Endophytic fungi ALl2 was inoculated on Atraetylodes lancea plantlets in tissue culture, and the distribution of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, soluble sugar in leaves and roots of the inoculated group were detected. The weight of leaves and roots were compared. Gas Chromatography was used to analyze the volatile oil components. [Result] Compared with the control group, the average fresh weight and dry weight of leaves and roots of A. lancea which had been symbiosed with ALl2 increased significantly. The content of lignin and soluble sugar increased in the leaves of the inoculated group, and the content of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, soluble sugar and volatile oil also increased in roots. [Conclusion] The results indicate that symbiosed with ALl2 is benefit for the development of A. lancea roots and can promote the transfer and accumulation of the medicinal components to the roots.展开更多

文摘[Objectives]This study was conducted to explore the culture conditions for siderophore production and preliminarily investigate the growth-promoting effects of strains.[Methods]Endophytic bacteria secreting siderophores were isolated and screened from the roots of the plant Saposhnikovia divaricata(Trucz.)Schischk.The siderophore-producing capability was confirmed through qualitative detection and gene cluster analysis.[Results]The screened endophytic bacterium PB-2 belonged to the genus Paenibacillus sp.and could produce catechol-type or carboxylate-type siderophores.When cultured in MKB medium with 15 g/L glycerol as the carbon source and 6 g/L glycine as the nitrogen source for 3 d,the strain exhibited efficient siderophore secretion.Appropriate concentrations of Fe^(3+),Co^(2+),Cu^(2+)and Al^(3+)promoted siderophore production,with 15μmol/L Fe^(3+)being the most effective.Under the combined influences of siderophores,volatile compounds and other factors,strain PB-2 altered the root morphology of mulberry seedlings and increased their biomass.The primary root length decreased by 9.15%,while the number and length of root hairs increased by 37.93%and 16.37%,respectively,and the total biomass increased by 10.26%,all showing significant differences(P<0.05).Additionally,strain PB-2 enhanced the activities of defense-related enzymes in mulberry seedling leaves.The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and peroxidase(POD)increased significantly(P<0.05)by 247.27%and 189.47%,respectively,compared with the control group.The activities of phenylalanine ammonialyase(PAL)and polyphenol oxidase(PPO)also showed varying degrees of increase.[Conclusions]This study provided a theoretical basis for rational utilization of endophytic growth-promoting strains secreting siderophores in the sustainable development of agriculture.

文摘Phthalic acid esters(PAEs)are widely released into the environment due to industrial and agricultural activities.This poses significant risks,not only to crops grown on contaminated soil but also to humans.PAEs enter the human body through the food chain,causing potential health hazards.Endophytic bacteria have demonstrated a significant potential as effective bioremediation agents,with specialized mechanisms of PAEs degradation.Endophytic bacteria such as Rhodococcus,Pseudomonas and Sphingomona recognize root exudates,adhere to and penetrate root surfaces,and ultimately colonize crops.They form symbiotic relationships with crops,obtaining nutrients and habitats from crops,meanwhile,promoting plant growth and health through hormone production,nutrient regulation,and the suppression of pathogenic microorganisms.Furthermore,endophytic bacteria efficiently degrade PAEs in soil-crop systems through synergistic interactions with indigenous rhizosphere microflora and regulatory effects on enzyme activity in crops.Here,we review the role of endophytic bacteria in the bioremediation of PAEs-contaminated crops and soils.In addition,we discuss the scarcity of endophytic bacterial strains with a confirmed ability to degrade PAEs,and underscore the lack of the research on the mechanisms of PAEs degradation by these bacteria.This review also points out that future study should investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between endophytic bacteria and PAEs to offer novel insights and solutions for environmental protection and sustainable agricultural development.

文摘Three bacterial endophytes of Sedum alfredii, VI8L2, II8L4 and VI8R2, were examined for promoting soil Zn bioavailability and Zn accumulation in S. alfredii. Results showed that three strains were re-introduced into S. alfredii rhizosphere soils under Zn stress and resulted in better plant growth, as roots biomass increased from 80% to 525% and shoot biomass from 11% to 47% compared with the uninoculated ones. Strains IVsLz, II8L4 and IVsR2 significantly increased shoot and root Zn concentrations in the ZnCO3 contaminated soil. Inoculation with strain IVsL2 resulted in 44% and 39% higher shoot and root Zn concentrations, while strain IV8R2 significantly decreased shoot Zn concentration in the Zn3(PO4)2 contaminated soils. In the aged contaminated soil, isolates IVsL2, IIsL4 and IVsR2 significantly increased root Zn concentration, but decreased shoot Zn concentration of Sedum alfredii. It suggested that endophytes might be used for enhancing phytoextraction efficiency.

文摘[Objective] This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of agricultural irri- gation with reclaimed water in Urumqi City. [Method] Chinese cabbages were used as experimental materials and irrigated with control water, 50% reclaimed water and 100% reclaimed water, and then the number of endophytic bacteria in Chinese cab- bages was measured. [Result] Using 50% reclaimed water, the fresh weight of Chi- nese cabbage was improved by 68.94%; however, with the deepening internalization of exogenous microorganism internalization, the total number of endophytic bacteria and coliform flock in Chinese cabbages treated with 50% reclaimed water was sig- nificantly higher than the other two treatment groups (P〈0.05). [Conclusion] Re- claimed water enhances both the weight of Chinese cabbage and the number of endophytic bacteria, which is unsuitable for irrigation of edible crops such as Chi- nese cabbage. Strengthening disinfection during the process of sewerage treatment could solve this problem.
