Previous studies have addressed the management of phyllosphere pathogens by leaf and root-associated microbes. The present study evaluated the effect of the foliar application of three strains of Bacillus spp. on plant growth and fruit quality. The application of a bacilli spore preparation significantly improved leaf growth parameters such as leaf thickness and photosynthesis capacity, indicating that bacilli treatment directly promoted leaf growth. In addition, foliar treatment resulted in an improvement in the key indicators of fruit quality including water, glucose, and sucrose contents. The present results suggest that foliar spraying of beneficial bacilli is a potential treatment of wide application for the improvement of apple quality. Foliar application of bacilli preparation as effective plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria broadens the spectrum of their availability for orchard application.

Wheat is one of the most important grains. Its consumption is increasing globally. Many countries are making efforts to increase the extent of wheat harvest. It is known that plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) have beneficial effects on various plants. Two PGPRs including Paenibacillus pabuli strain P7S (PP7S) and Pseudomonas nitroreducens strain IHB (PnIHB) were employed to investigate effects of PGPRs on early growth of three wheat cultivars (Koso, Seakumkang, and Jokyung). While PP7S had adverse effects on Seakumkang and Jokyung, PP7S had positive effects on Koso except root length compared to control group having no treatment of PP7S. However, all treatments with PnIHB had adverse effects on germination rate, root/shoot lengths, vigor index, and dry root/shoot weights of all three wheat cultivars. These positive effects with PP7S on Koso might be related to the earlier emergence of wheat seed above soil which is known to be an indicator of increased yield. Results of the present study suggest that if proper PGPR strains are selected, they could have positive effects on early growth rate of a wheat cultivar.

Maintenance of a beneficial microbial community, especially in the rhizosphere, is indispensable for plant growth and agricultural sustainability. In this sense, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been extensively studied for their role in plant growth promotion and disease resistance. However, the impact of introducing PGPR strains into rhizosphere microbial communities is still underexplored. We previously found that the Proteus vulgaris JBLS202 strain (JBLS202) promoted growth of Kimchi cabbage and altered the relative abundance of total bacteria and Pseudomonas spp. in the treated rhizosphere. To extend these findings, we used pyrosequencing to analyze the changes in bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of Kimchi cabbage after introduction of JBLS202. The alterations were also evaluated by taxon-specific realtime PCR (qPCR). The pyrosequencing data revealed an increase in total bacteria abundance, including specific groups such as Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria, in the treated rhizosphere. Time-course qPCR analysis confirmed the increase in the abundance of Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, and Betaproteobacteria. Furthermore, genes involved in nitrogen cycling were upregulated by JBLS202 treatment indicating changes in ecological function of the rhizosphere soil. Overall, these results indicate that introduction of JBLS202 alters both the composition and function of the rhizosphere bacterial community, which can have direct and indirect effects on plant growth. Therefore, we propose that long-term changes in bacterial composition and community-level function need to be considered for practical use of PGPRs.

The objective of this study was to determine whether inoculation with Bacillus licheniformis MH48 as a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) could promote nutrient uptake of seedlings of the ornamental plant Camellia japonica in the Saemangeum reclaimed coastal land in Korea. B. licheniformis MH48 inoculation increased total nitrogen and phosphorus content in soils by 2.2 and 20.0 fold, respectively, compared to those without bacterial inoculation. In addition, B. licheniformis MH48 produced auxin, which promoted the formation of lateral roots and root hairs, decreased production of growth-inhibiting ethylene, and alleviated salt stress. Total nitrogen and phosphorus uptake of seedlings subjected to bacterial inoculation was 2.3 and 3.6 fold higher, respectively, than the control. However, B. licheniformis MH48 inoculation had no significant effect on the growth of seedlings. Our results suggest that inoculation with B. licheniformis MH48 can be used as a PGPR bio - enhancer to stimulate fine root development, promote nutrient uptake and alleviate salt stress in ornamental plant seedlings grown in the high-salinity conditions of reclaimed coastal land.

The Plant growth Promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Pseudomonas sp. (A3) and Bacillus sp. (AT33) were isolated from the rhizosphere of Amaranthus blitum collected from soil contaminated with chromium. Both bacterial strains quantitatively reduced hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium. Pseudomonas sp. broughter greater conversion of Cr6+ in the medium (100％) as compared to Bacillus sp.(62％). Phaseolus mungo seeds inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. or Bacillus sp. were grown under different concentration of chromium. The monitored parameters included elongation of shoot and root, fresh weight, dry weight and concentration of chromium in the shoot and root systems. As compared to non inoculated seedlings those inoculated with A3 and AT33 exhibited better growth.

식물성장 촉진 기능을 가지는 PGPR (plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria)균은 특수한 토양시료를 사용하여 내열성을 가지는 400개의 균주를 분리하였다. 이들 분리균주에서 선발한 공시균주 Bacillus sp. YK-5는 항진균성 물질을 생산하였으며, 시험균주 Asp. flavus를 대상으로 생산조건을 검토한 결과, 공시균주의 생육배지는 생육촉진효과와 식물병원균에 대한 방제를 위해 1% peptone 및 yeast extract, 5% black sugar가 함유된 modified LB배지를 사용하였다. 식물병원균에 대한 공시균주의 길항효과는 시험균주인 식물병원균 Fusarium oxysporum KACC 40052균에 대해 배양 7일째까지 강한 생육저해를 보였다. 공시균의 식물성장촉진능은 궁중무 및 벼를 대상으로 pot 실험한 결과, 궁중무의 경우 경엽수, 줄기의 길이 및 뿌리의 길이가 무처리구에 비해 약 60%이상 우수한 성장촉진효과를 나타내었으며, 벼의 경우 이식 후 시비 8일째 시판제품 처리구에 비해 공시균주 처리구는 잎의 길이와 흰 세근의 발달이 우수하여 뿌리의 발육에 현저한 생육촉진 효과를 나타내었다. 공시균주의 동정은 분자계통분류학적 분석 (형태, 배양, 생리, 화학적 및 분자생태학적 측면)에 의해 B. subtilis YK-5로 명명하였다.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential plantgrowth promoting effects of potassium polyacrylate, a superabsorbent polymer, and Bacillus sp. SH1RP8, a family of plant-growth-promoting bacteria. Potassium polyacrylate was selected as the polymer for use due to its high molecular weight and its ability to retain and continuously supply moisture. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) were isolated from the soil and applied to plants growing in dry environments, such as saline conditions. The moisture absorption and retention abilities of potassium polyacrylate were evaluated at a high temperature ($50^{\circ}C$) and in a dry condition, during which time the polymer showed a water retention potential of 19606.07% after 29 days. To overcome the reaming problem in the soil environment, natural polymers (such as cellulose) were mixed with the potassium acrylate. The shoot growths of Peucedanum japonicum Thunb and Arundo donax were significantly enhanced when treated with the mixture of the isolated rhizosphere bacterium SH1RP8 and potassium polyacrylate (63.5 and 124.3%, respectively).

본 연구에서는 근권토양으로부터 18종의 세균을 순수분리하고, 이들의 식물 병원성 진균 생육억제 활성, 식물생장촉진 활성 및 미네랄 가용화능을 평가하였다. Bacillus 속과 Pseudomonas 속 분리균주의 항진균 활성을 통해 생물학적 방제제로서의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 식물 병원성 진균의 세포벽에 작용하는 여러 가수분해효소 활성과 siderophore 생성능 등에 기인된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 대부분의 분리균주가 aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase 생성능, indole-3-acetic acid 생성능 및 질소 고정능을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 특성은 식물이 흔히 노출될 수 있는 환경 스트레스 조건 하에서 스트레스 에틸렌의 농도를 감소시킴으로써 뿌리 발달 및 성장, 그리고 작물의 생산성에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 분리균주의 인산, 규소, 탄산칼슘, 아연 가용화능 등을 확인한 결과, 일부 분리균주들의 미네랄 가용화능을 확인하였으며, 이들 분리균주를 식물 생장 시에 접종한다면 식물 생장에 필요한 영양분을 식물이 흡수할 수 있는 이용가능한 형태로 변환시켜 식물의 생장에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이러한 항진균 활성, 식물생장촉진 활성 및 미네랄 가용화능의 결과를 통해 분리균주 18종의 biocontrol agent로서의 이용가능성을 제시하고자 한다.
