Abstract:

To study the growth-promoting effect of endophytic bacteria in soybean root nodules on soybean growth, soybean root nodules were used as experimental materials to isolate and screen nodule endophytic bacteria, and their ability to secrete plant hormones and their promotion effect on soybean plant height, stem diameter, dry weight, fresh weight, and root growth were measured. The results showed that a total of 17 endophytic bacteria were screened out from root nodules. After physiological and biochemical analysis and 16S rDNA identification, 10 strains belonged to Bacillus spp., 3 strains belonged to Priestia spp, and the remaining 4 strains belonged to Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, and Agrobacterium. Through hemolysis test and 16S rDNA identification, 10 strains with strong growth-promoting ability were selected. Among them, the IAA secretion of Klebsiella S8 was highest at 147.55 mg·L-1; the gibberellins of Agrobacterium S10 had the highest secretion at 39.34 mg·L-1; the siderophores activity of Bacillus S3 was the highest at 70.57%. The plant height, root length, dry fresh weight and stem diameter of soybean treated by these 10 strains were significantly higher than those of the control. In conclusion, the endophytic bacteria screened in this experiment had strong growth-promoting effect on soybean growth.
