Seed-Borne Bacterial Diversity of Fescue (Festuca ovina L.) and Properties Study.

ABSTRACT: Rich endophytic bacterial communities exist in fescue (Festuca ovina L.) and play an important role in fescue growth, cold tolerance, drought tolerance and antibiotic tolerance. To screen for probiotics carried by fescue seeds, seven varieties were collected from three different regions of China for isolation by the milled seed method and analyzed for diversity and motility, biofilm and antibiotic resistance. A total of 91 bacterial isolates were obtained, and based on morphological characteristics, 36 representative dominant strains were selected for 16S rDNA sequencing analysis. The results showed that the 36 bacterial strains belonged to four phyla and nine genera. The Firmicutes was the dominant phylum, and Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Pseudomonas were the do
