Effect of endophytic diazotroph Enterobacter roggenkampii ED5 on nitrogen-metabolism-related microecology in the sugarcane rhizosphere at different nitrogen levels.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is an important sugar and energy crop worldwide, requiring a large amount of nitrogen (N). However, excessive application of synthetic N fertilizer causes environmental pollution in farmland. Endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria (ENFB) provide N nutrition for plants through biological N fixation, thus reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. The present study investigated the effect of the N-fixing endophytic strain Enterobacter roggenkampii ED5 on phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), N-metabolism enzyme activities, microbial community compositions, and N cycle genes in sugarcane rhizosphere soil at different N levels. Three levels of ¹⁵N-urea, such as low N (0 kg/ha), medium N (150 kg/ha), and high N (300 kg/ha), were applied. The results showed that, after inoculating strain ED5, the IAA content in sugarcane leaves was significantly increased by 68.82% under low N condition at the seedling stage (60 days). The nitrate reductase (NR) activity showed a downward trend. However, the glutamine synthase (GS) and NADH-glutamate dehydrogenase (NADH-GDH) activities were significantly enhanced compared to the control under the high N condition, and the GS and NR genes had the highest expression at 180 and 120 days, respectively, at the low N level. The total N content in the roots, stems, and leaves of sugarcane was higher than the control. The ¹⁵N atom % excess of sugarcane decreased significantly under medium N condition, indicating that the medium N level was conducive to N fixation in strain ED5. Metagenome analysis of sugarcane rhizosphere soil exhibited that the abundance of N-metabolizing microbial richness was increased under low and high N conditions after inoculation of strain ED5 at the genus level, while it was increased at the phylum level only under the low N condition. The LefSe (LDA > 2, p < 0.05) found that the N-metabolism-related differential microorganisms under the high N condition were higher than those under medium and low N conditions. It was also shown that the abundance of nifDHK genes was significantly increased after inoculation of ED5 at the medium N level, and other N cycle genes had high abundance at the high N level after inoculation of strain ED5. The results of this study provided a scientific reference for N fertilization in actual sugarcane production.

Project description:Sugarcane is the leading economic crop in China, requires huge quantities of nitrogen in the preliminary plant growth stages. However, the use of an enormous amount of nitrogen fertilizer increases the production price, and have detrimental results on the environment, causes severe soil and water pollution. In this study, a total of 175 endophytic strains were obtained from the sugarcane roots, belonging to five different species, i.e., Saccharum officinarum, Saccharum barberi, Saccharum robustum, Saccharum spontaneum, and Saccharum sinense. Among these, only 23 Enterobacter strains were chosen based on nitrogen fixation, PGP traits, hydrolytic enzymes production, and antifungal activities. Also, all selected strains were showed diverse growth range under different stress conditions, i.e., pH (5-10), temperature (20-45°C), and NaCl (7-12%) and 14 strains confirmed positive nifH, and 12 strains for acdS gene amplification, suggested that these strains could fix nitrogen along with stress tolerance properties. Out of 23 selected strains, Enterobacter roggenkampii ED5 was the most potent strain. Hence, this strain was further selected for comprehensive genome analysis, which includes a genome size of 4,702,851 bp and 56.05% of the average G + C content. Genome annotations estimated 4349 protein-coding with 83 tRNA and 25 rRNA genes. The CDSs number allocated to the KEGG, COG, and GO database were 2839, 4028, and 2949. We recognized a total set of genes that are possibly concerned with ACC deaminase activity, siderophores and plant hormones production, nitrogen and phosphate metabolism, symbiosis, root colonization, biofilm formation, sulfur assimilation and metabolism, along with resistance response toward a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. E. roggenkampii ED5 strain was also a proficient colonizer in sugarcane (variety GT11) and enhanced growth of sugarcane under the greenhouse. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first information on the whole-genome sequence study of endophytic E. roggenkampii ED5 bacterium associated with sugarcane root. And, our findings proposed that identification of predicted genes and metabolic pathways might describe this strain an eco-friendly bioresource to promote sugarcane growth by several mechanisms of actions under multi-stresses.

Project description:Endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria are versatile and widely distributed in plants. Numerous strains of endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria are used as biofertilizers to minimize the utilization of chemical fertilizers, improve nutrient use efficiency, increase crop productivity, and reduce environmental pollution. However, the mechanism underlying the interaction between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and plants is still unclear. So, the present study was planned to assess the effects of endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria on sugarcane by analyzing the changes in physiological and biochemical activities. In the current study, Klebsiella variicola DX120E, an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium, was inoculated on sugarcane varieties B8 and ROC22 to evaluate the effects on nitrogen and carbon metabolism-related enzymatic activity and biomass. Results showed that DX120E inoculation improved the enzymatic activities related to gluconeogenesis and nitrogen metabolism increased the sugarcane plant's height, cane juice Brix, biomass, chlorophyll, and soluble sugar content in sugarcane. Metabolomics analysis revealed that the metabolome modules were highly enriched in carbon and nitrogen metabolic pathways of strain-affected sugarcane than uninoculated control. The identified carbohydrates were associated with the glycolysis or gluconeogenesis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in plants. Metabolomic profiling in the present investigation showed that carbohydrate metabolism is coordinated with nitrogen metabolism to provide carbon skeletons and energy to amino acid synthesis, and amino acid degradation results in several metabolites used by the citric acid cycle as an energy source. Moreover, differentially expressed metabolites of non-proteinogenic amino acids have a further complementary role to the action of endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Meanwhile, a significant difference in metabolites and metabolic pathways present in stems and leaves of B8 and ROC22 varieties was found. This study discovered the potential benefits of DX120E in sugarcane and suggested candidate regulatory elements to enhance interactions between nitrogen-fixing microbes and sugarcane.

Project description:Sugarcane is an important sugar and bioenergy source and a significant component of the economy in various countries in arid and semiarid. It requires more synthetic fertilizers and fungicides during growth and development. However, the excess use of synthetic fertilizers and fungicides causes environmental pollution and affects cane quality and productivity. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) indirectly or directly promote plant growth in various ways. In this study, 22 PGPB strains were isolated from the roots of the sugarcane variety GT42. After screening of plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits, it was found that the DJ06 strain had the most potent PGP activity, which was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) labeling technology confirmed that the DJ06 strain successfully colonized sugarcane tissues. The complete genome sequencing of the DJ06 strain was performed using Nanopore and Illumina sequencing platforms. The results showed that the DJ06 strain genome size was 64,90,034 bp with a G+C content of 66.34%, including 5,912 protein-coding genes (CDSs) and 12 rRNA genes. A series of genes related to plant growth promotion was observed, such as nitrogen fixation, ammonia assimilation, siderophore, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), deaminase, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, auxin biosynthesis, phosphate metabolism, hydrolase, biocontrol, and tolerance to abiotic stresses. In addition, the effect of the DJ06 strain was also evaluated by inoculation in two sugarcane varieties GT11 and B8. The length of the plant was increased significantly by 32.43 and 12.66% and fresh weight by 89.87 and 135.71% in sugarcane GT11 and B8 at 60 days after inoculation. The photosynthetic leaf gas exchange also increased significantly compared with the control plants. The content of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was enhanced and gibberellins (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) were reduced in response to inoculation of the DJ06 strain as compared with control in two sugarcane varieties. The enzymatic activities of oxidative, nitrogen metabolism, and hydrolases were also changed dramatically in both sugarcane varieties with inoculation of the DJ06 strain. These findings provide better insights into the interactive action mechanisms of the P. aeruginosa DJ06 strain and sugarcane plant development.

Project description:Some sugarcane germplasms can absorb higher amounts of nitrogen via atmospheric nitrogen fixation through the bacterial diazotrophs. Most endophytic diazotrophs usually penetrate through the root, colonize inside the plant, and fix the nitrogen. To assess the plant's bacterial association during root colonization, strain GXS16 was tagged with a plasmid-bear green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene. The results demonstrated that the strain can colonize roots all the way to the maturation zone. The strain GXS16 showed maximum nitrogenase enzyme activity at pH 8 and 30°C, and nitrogenase activity is less affected by different carbon sources. Further, strain GXS16 colonization response was investigated through plant hormones analysis and RNAseq. The results showed that the bacterial colonization gradually increased with time, and the H2O2 and malondialdehyde (MDA) content significantly increased at 1 day after inoculation. There were no substantial changes noticed in proline content, and the ethylene content was detected initially, but it decreased with time. The abscisic acid (ABA) content showed significant increases of 91.9, 43.9, and 18.7%, but conversely, the gibberellin (GA3) content decreased by 12.9, 28.5, and 45.2% at 1, 3, and 5 days after inoculation, respectively. The GXS16 inoculation significantly increased the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR) at different timepoint. In contrast, the peroxisome (POD) activity had no changes detected during the treatment. In the case of RNAseq analysis, 2437, 6678, and 4568 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from 1, 3, and 5 days inoculated root samples, and 601 DEGs were shared in all samples. The number or the expression diversity of DEGs related to ethylene was much higher than that of ABA or GA, which indicated the critical role of ethylene in regulating the sugarcane roots response to GXS16 inoculation.

Project description:Plant endophytic bacteria have many vital roles in plant growth promotion (PGP), such as nitrogen (N) fixation and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, the seedlings of sugarcane varieties B8 (requires a low concentration of nitrogen for growth) and GT11 (requires a high concentration of nitrogen for growth) were inoculated with endophytic diazotroph Enterobacter roggenkampii ED5, which exhibits multiple PGP traits, isolated from sugarcane roots. The results showed that the inoculation with E. roggenkampii ED5 promoted the growth of plant significantly in both sugarcane varieties. 15N detection at 60 days post-inoculation proved that the inoculation with strain ED5 increased the total nitrogen concentration in the leaf and root than control in both sugarcane varieties, which was higher in B8. Biochemical parameters and phytohormones in leaf were analyzed at 30 and 60 days after the inoculation. The results showed that the inoculation with E. roggenkampii ED5 improved the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), NADH-glutamate dehydrogenase (NADH-GDH), glutamine synthetase (GS), and endo-β-1,4-glucanase, and the contents of proline and indole acetic acid (IAA) in leaf, and it was generally more significant in B8 than in GT11. Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) labeling and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were used to perform comparative proteomic analysis in the sugarcane leaves at 30 days after inoculation with strain ED5. A total of 27,508 proteins were detected, and 378 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in the treated sugarcane variety B8 (BE) as compared to control (BC), of which 244 were upregulated and 134 were downregulated. In contrast, a total of 177 DEPs were identified in the treated sugarcane variety GT11 (GE) as compared to control (GC), of which 103 were upregulated and 74 were downregulated. The DEPs were associated with nitrogen metabolism, photosynthesis, starch, sucrose metabolism, response to oxidative stress, hydrolase activity, oxidative phosphorylation, glutathione metabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolic process, and response to stresses in Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first proteomic approach to investigate the molecular basis of the interaction between N-fixing endophytic strain E. roggenkampii ED5 and sugarcane.
