Maheshwari (Ed.)” Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface The damage to the ecological foundation essential for sustainable advances in productivity led to the onset of fatigue in Green Revolution. Scientific principles of soil and plant health management are being developed in order to sustain the benefits of enhanced productivity over long periods. Therefore, amazing gains and phenomenal increase have been observed in crop productivity by the use of effective microorganisms (plant growth and health-supporting bacteria) and practices. The agricultural crops which are a major source of food and nutrition are of immense importance to meet out the requirements of burgeoning human population. The productivity of the crops both in terms of quality and quantity of food is of paramount importance. Keeping in view of our immediate and long-term needs, the role of beneficial bacteria in agricultural–biological issues is envisaged. The book entitled “Bacteria in Agrobiology: Crop Productivity” contains 19 chapters that cover multiple facets of contribution of the microbial attributes in addressing the crop’s productivity that advance in perpetuity without accompanying ecological harm. Exploitation of endophytic, root-nodulating, and rhizospheric bacteria having beneficial plant growth-promoting and health- supporting characteristics proved significant in low-input food, forage, and nonfood crops for sustainable agricultural system. On one hand, beneficial bacteria also provide improvement in the growth of medicinal plants grown commercially, while on the other hand, also proved to be significant in adaptation of psammophytes (plants grown in sand dunes) to nutrient-limited sand dune ecosystem. Plant- associated bacteria including indigenous rhizobia and their bioformulations impart productivity enhancement in rice, banana, chickpea, and some common legumes cultivated at high altitude of western Himalayas. PGPB-mediated siderophores have indirect contribution to successful plant growth promotion in order to achieve maximum productivity, while inoculation of bacteria increasing uptake and mobi- lization of nutrients aiding cereal biofortification has direct contribution to the same. Other topics discussed in the book include the priming as a suitable strategy to induce plant defense responses resulting in induced systemic resistance that impart plant immunity, PGPR secreting volatile and nonvolatile substances, exopolysaccharides, PGPR adoption to heavy metal tolerance, and blending v vi Preface of plant microbial remediation as one of the given cleanup processes for amalgamated chemo-remediation through rhizobacterial interactions in crop improvement. We trust this book will be useful for researchers, teachers, students, and policy makers but also for those who are interested in the subjects of plant sciences, microbiology, phytopathology, ecology, environmental science, and agricultural sciences. We would like to express our gratitude to all the subject experts and reviewers for their masterpiece scholarly contributions. Assistance rendered by our research scholars is thankfully acknowledged. We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Jutta Lindenborn of Springer for her valuable support to facilitate the comple- tion of this book. Makar Sankranti Dinesh K.

Primary soil characteristics were determined using standard techniques, such as dichromate oxidation (organic matter content), the Kjeldahl method (nitrogen content), the Olsen method (phosphorus content) and a Bernard calcimeter (carbonate content). The Bouyoucos Densimetry method was used to establish textural data. Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and 10 Na) extracted with 1 M NH 4Cl and exchangeable aluminium extracted with 1 M KCl were determined using atomic absorption/emission spectrophotometry with an AA200 PerkinElmer analyser. The effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was calculated as the sum of the values of the last two measurements (sum of the exchangeable cations and the exchangeable Al). Analyses were performed immediately after sampling. 15 Hydrocarbon analysis Extraction (5 g of sample N and Nbs) was performed with dichloromethane:acetone (1:1) using a Soxtherm extraction apparatus (Gerhardt GmbH & Co.

  • Taxonomy of the Azotobacteraceae Determined by Using Immunoelectrophoresis Y
    INTERNATIONALJOURNAL OF SYSTEMATICBACTERIOLOGY, Apr. 1983, p. 147-156 Vol. 33, No. 2 0020-7713/83/020147-10$02.

NEW,' AND J.-C. ZHOU' Department of Microbiology, University of Sydney, New South Wales, 2006, Australia, and Hua-ckung Agricultural College, Wuhan, People's Republic of China' The similarities of various strains of Azotobacter spp. and Azomonas spp. to reference strains of Azotobacter paspali, Azotobacter vinelandii, Azotobacter chroococcum, Azomonas agilis, Azomonas insignis, and Azomonas macrocyto- genes were determined by rocket line immunoelectrophoresis. The strains of Azotobacter paspali and Azotobacter vinelandii used were immunologically more homogeneous than the strains of Azotobacter chroococcum studied, possibly due to the more diverse geographical origins of the Azotobacter chroococcum strains. Low values were obtained for the mean immunological distances (1 - proportion of immunoprecipitation bands shared between strains) between Azotobacter paspali and Azotobacter vinelandii strains, suggesting that these two species are immunologically closely related. Immunological distances from the Azotobacter chroococcum reference strain were similar for Azotobacter paspali and for other undisputed members of the genus Azotobacter, which makes it reasonable to retain Azotobacter paspali in this genus. When the three Azotobacter antisera were used, all Azotobacter species had mean immunological distances of less than 0.5, whereas the Azomonas species were immunologically more distant , showing that the six species of Azotobacter form an immunologically related group which is distinct from the Azomonas species. Our results with the three Azomonas antisera show that each species of Azoinonas is immunologically distant from the other species, as well as from the Azotobacter species.

Since then the taxonomy of bacteria has been revolutionized several times. At present, 30 phyla belong to the domain “Bacteria”, which includes over 9600 species. Unlike many eukaryotes, bacteria lack complex morphological characters and practically phylogenetically informative fossils. It is partly due to these reasons that bacterial taxonomy is complicated.

  • Genome of Rhizobium Leucaenae Strains CFN 299T and CPAO 29.8
    Ormeño-Orrillo et al. BMC Genomics (2016) 17:534 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-2859-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Genome of Rhizobium leucaenae strains CFN 299T and CPAO 29.8: searching for genes related to a successful symbiotic performance under stressful conditions Ernesto Ormeño-Orrillo1†, Douglas Fabiano Gomes2,3†, Pablo del Cerro4, Ana Tereza Ribeiro Vasconcelos5, Carlos Canchaya6, Luiz Gonzaga Paula Almeida5, Fabio Martins Mercante7, Francisco Javier Ollero4, Manuel Megías4 and Mariangela Hungria2* Abstract Background: Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important legume cropped worldwide for food production and its agronomic performance can be greatly improved if the benefits from symbiotic nitrogen fixation are maximized. The legume is known for its high promiscuity in nodulating with several Rhizobium species, but those belonging to the Rhizobium tropici “group” are the most successful and efficient in fixing nitrogen in tropical acid soils. Rhizobium leucaenae belongs to this group, which is abundant in the Brazilian “Cerrados” soils and frequently submitted to several environmental stresses. Here we present the first high-quality genome drafts of R. leucaenae, including the type strain CFN 299T and the very efficient strain CPAO 29.8. Our main objective was to identify features that explain the successful capacity of R. leucaenae in nodulating common bean under stressful environmental conditions. Results: The genomes of R. leucaenae strains CFN 299T and CPAO 29.8 were estimated at 6.7–6.8 Mbp; 7015 and 6899 coding sequences (CDS) were predicted, respectively, 6264 of which are common to both strains. The genomes of both strains present a large number of CDS that may confer tolerance of high temperatures, acid soils, salinity and water deficiency.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 3 July 2009; received in revised form 6 November 2009; accepted 20 November 2009 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Nodulation characteristics in five species of Indigofera viz., I .trita, I. linnaei, I. astragalina, I. parviflora and I. viscosa was studied at regular intervals on the plants raised in garden soil. Among the species studied, highest average number of nodules per plant of 23 with maximum sized nodules of 8.0 mm diameter was observed in I. astragalina. Biochemical analysis of root nodules of I. astragalina revealed that the leghaemoglobin content of nodules and nitrogen content of root, shoot, leaves and nodules were gradually increased up to 60 DAS, and then decreased with increase in age. Rhizobium isolates of five species of Indigofera were isolated and screened for enzymatic activities and total cellular protein profiles. All the five isolates showed nitrate reductase, citrase, tryptophanase and catalase activity while much variation was observed for enzymes like gelatinase, urease, caseinase, lipase, amylase, lysine decarboxylase and protease activities. Among the isolates studied, only the isolate from I. viscosa has the ability to solubilize the insoluble tricalcium phosphate. All the Rhizobium isolates exhibit similarity in protein content, except the isolate from I. viscosa which showed one additional protein band.

  • Taxonomy and Systematics of Plant Probiotic Bacteria in the Genomic Era
    AIMS Microbiology, 3(3): 383-412. DOI: 10.3934/microbiol.2017.3.383 Received: 03 March 2017 Accepted: 22 May 2017 Published: 31 May 2017 http://www.aimspress.com/journal/microbiology Review Taxonomy and systematics of plant probiotic bacteria in the genomic era Lorena Carro * and Imen Nouioui School of Biology, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK * Correspondence: Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Recent decades have predicted significant changes within our concept of plant endophytes, from only a small number specific microorganisms being able to colonize plant tissues, to whole communities that live and interact with their hosts and each other. Many of these microorganisms are responsible for health status of the plant, and have become known in recent years as plant probiotics. Contrary to human probiotics, they belong to many different phyla and have usually had each genus analysed independently, which has resulted in lack of a complete taxonomic analysis as a group. This review scrutinizes the plant probiotic concept, and the taxonomic status of plant probiotic bacteria, based on both traditional and more recent approaches. Phylogenomic studies and genes with implications in plant-beneficial effects are discussed. This report covers some representative probiotic bacteria of the phylum Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, but also includes minor representatives and less studied groups within these phyla which have been identified as plant probiotics.

  • Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbioses Mitchell Andrews * and Morag E. Andrews Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Lincoln University, PO Box 84, Lincoln 7647, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +64-3-423-0692 Academic Editors: Peter M. Gresshoff and Brett Ferguson Received: 12 February 2017; Accepted: 21 March 2017; Published: 26 March 2017 Abstract: Most species in the Leguminosae (legume family) can fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2) via symbiotic bacteria (rhizobia) in root nodules. Here, the literature on legume-rhizobia symbioses in field soils was reviewed and genotypically characterised rhizobia related to the taxonomy of the legumes from which they were isolated. The Leguminosae was divided into three sub-families, the Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae. Bradyrhizobium spp. were the exclusive rhizobial symbionts of species in the Caesalpinioideae, but data are limited. Generally, a range of rhizobia genera nodulated legume species across the two Mimosoideae tribes Ingeae and Mimoseae, but Mimosa spp. show specificity towards Burkholderia in central and southern Brazil, Rhizobium/Ensifer in central Mexico and Cupriavidus in southern Uruguay. These specific symbioses are likely to be at least in part related to the relative occurrence of the potential symbionts in soils of the different regions. Generally, Papilionoideae species were promiscuous in relation to rhizobial symbionts, but specificity for rhizobial genus appears to hold at the tribe level for the Fabeae (Rhizobium), the genus level for Cytisus (Bradyrhizobium), Lupinus (Bradyrhizobium) and the New Zealand native Sophora spp. (Mesorhizobium) and species level for Cicer arietinum (Mesorhizobium), Listia bainesii (Methylobacterium) and Listia angolensis (Microvirga).
