Abstract: In this study, the fluorescent plasmid POT2-RFP was transferred into Plantibacter sp. WZW03 as markers and the colonization of strain WZW03 was studied in watermelon rhizosphere. Transgenics with genetically stable transformants were successfully obtained in Plantibacter sp. WZW03-P, and growth characteristic of Plantibacter sp. WZW03-P was not significantly different from that of WZW03. Under the same bacterial concentration, WZW03-P had the largest adsorption capacity of (50.87±0.06)×105 cfu·g-1 when the watermelon root surface was adsorbed for 50 min. Under the same adsorption time, the adsorption capacity increased with the increase of the strain concentration and the saturation concentration of adsorption was (1.27±0.34)×107 cfu·g-1. The number of WZW03-P in sterilized soil and normal soil decreased with the prolonged feeding time, and the number of viable bacteria was stable at 106 cfu·g-1 at 20 d. The promoting effects of WZW03-P were found on the growth of watermelon plants and roots, and the colonization rate of WZW03-P in the watermelon rhizosphere was high, which showed that WZW03-P was provided with a significant competitive advantage in rhizosphere. In conclusion, Plantibacter sp. WZW03-P could colonize well in the watermelon rhizosphere, and promote the growth of watermelon.
