Isolation and characterization of ACC Deaminase Producing Endophytic Bacillus mojavensis PRN2 from Pisum sativum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endophytic bacteria reside inside healthy plant tissues and provide several benefits to their host, and help them to tolerate various stresses. Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) production is one of the mechanisms by which these bacteria help the plant to survive under ethylene stress.

Objectives

The main focus of this study was to isolate endophytic bacteria and effectively screen them for ACCD production. The selected isolate was identified and assessed for plant growth-promoting potential under pot conditions.

Materials and methods

Endophytic bacteria were isolated from root nodules of Pisum sativum plants, grown in northern India (Haryana state). ACCD activity was initially screened on DF minimal salt medium with ACC as a sole nitr
