Harnessing Novel Soil Bacteria for Beneficial Interactions with Soybean.

ABSTRACT: It is claimed that one g of soil holds ten billion bacteria representing thousands of distinct species. These bacteria play key roles in the regulation of terrestrial carbon dynamics, nutrient cycles, and plant productivity. Despite the overwhelming diversity of bacteria, most bacterial species remain largely unknown. Here, we used an oligotrophic medium to isolate novel soil bacteria for positive interaction with soybean. Strictly 22 species of bacteria from the soybean rhizosphere were selected. These isolates encompass ten genera (Kosakonia, Microbacterium, Mycobacterium, Methylobacterium, Monashia, Novosphingobium, Pandoraea, Anthrobacter, Stenotrophomonas, and Rhizobium) and have potential as novel species.
