Analysis of the Changes in Diversity of Culturable Bacteria in Different Niches of Mulberry Fields and Assessment of Their Plant Growth-Promoting Potential.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms play a crucial role in agricultural systems. The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) to enhance agricultural production in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner has been widely recognized as a key technology for the future. In this study, we analyzed the diversity changes of bacteria in different ecological niches of mulberry fields based on culture-dependent methods, and we further evaluated their antibacterial and plant growth-promoting (PGP) activities. A total of 346 cultivable bacteria belonging to 30 genera were isolated from mulberry rhizosphere soil, mulberry plants and silkworm intestines, among which the dominant genera were Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter. The bacterial communities in the mulberry rhizosphere soil
