3.5. Evaluation of Pseudomonas spp. as plant growth-promoting bacteria under salt stress
Four strains, Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, strain 24, Pseudomonas sp., strain 30, P. putida, strain 103 and P. fluorescens, strain 109 which are salt tolerant and have the following plant growth-beneficial traits: IAA production, phosphate solubilization, and ACC deaminase production were selected for maize growth stimulation under salinated soil.
For non-saline soil (NSS) treatment, strain 103, characterized as P. putida, was able to significantly increase plant development for all the analyzed parameters, except for root dry weight. Plants treated with strain 103 showed an increase in 16.65% of shoot length, 20.16% in root length, 61.20% in leaf area and 83.29% in shoot dry weight, when compared to the control (table 3). Strain 109 (P. fluorescens), significantly increased root dry weight in …show more content…

(Table 2). In the same medium NBRIP used to isolate phosphate solubilizers, values ranging from 31.5 to 519 μg.mL-1 were obtained [41] and in the present study the observed amounts were even higher (26 to 1.735 μg.mL-1 (table 3). A positive correlation between in vitro phosphate solubilization activities of Pseudomonas sp. (LG) with an increase in P content in bean plants inoculated with this bacterium has been observed [42]. In our work, Pseudomonas spp. strains 24, 30 and 109 produced high levels of soluble phosphate (> 1,000 μg.mL-1) (Table 2) and significantly increased plant growth (Table 2). Strain 24 (P. plecoglossicida) had significantly increased root length whereas strain 30 (Pseudomonas sp.) increased shoot dry weight and strain 109 displayed an increase in shoot and root dry weight (Table 3). However, strain 103 (P. putida) which produced only 83 μg.mL-1 of soluble phosphate, was the most plant growth-stimulating bacterium in NSS (Table

The plants with 200 ml topsoil were projected to have the highest average height according to the original hypothesis of increased plant growth due to an increase on the amount of topsoil added. Moreover, the original hypothesis was refuted as the plants with no topsoil in the control had a higher average height than the plants with 25 ml topsoil. The mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants with 25 ml topsoil indicated possible deficiencies in phosphorus which might have slowed their growth. Moreover, the mixed red and green color on the leaves of the plants in both 100 ml and 200 ml topsoil also indicated a possible phosphorus deficiency which may have resulted in the slower growth of the plants despite having greater amounts of topsoil. The experimental results might have skewed due to the over fertilization of the radish seeds which might have led to excess nutrient levels which are unsuitable for radish plants as they require little to no fertilization for growth (Chase, 2018).

The experimental group contained both fertilizer and Duckweed, and we saw a large increase in the amount of Duckweed before it began to decrease again. This is compared to the control group, which lacked fertilizer, and did not have as sharp an increase or decline as the experimental group. By week two, we still had four Daphnia magna in the control group, while the numbers dwindled from five to one in the experimental

Jean Savarin, a French lawyer and politician once said “tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are”. The food that is digested in our bodies influences the activity levels, mood, and health of our bodies. A majority of the food that is sold today is tampered with in laboratories changing the chemical makeup of the substance. This is known as genetic engineering or breeding of the organism. I. GMO, or genetically modified organisms is when a gene of an organism is biologically transferred to another organism changing its characterization.

3 ml of the fertilizer solution were administered to each pot. Then 4 of the plants were treated with 2 ml of a pH 5 solution and 3 different plants were treated with a pH of 8 solution. The remaining 3 plants were used a the control group. Every week the plants growth was measured by placing a ruler on the surface of the soil and recording the tallest point of the free standing plant. Once the measurements were recorded the plants were then treated with the same amount of pH solution.

Bioremediation Project Presented by: Alex Dunford, Holly Fontaine, Emily Hight, Whatley Ozer, Theresa Blaz Prob Scenario and Specifications Due to the the growing number of agricultural areas around the United States, these farms across the country have had an increasingly large impact on local runoff. The high concentration of phosphates and nitrates in the many water systems such as the rivers, streams, and ponds have caused many environmental problems. Different algae in affected water systems utilize the excess phosphate to spur population growth. With more algae in the water, less oxygen is available to marine life, such as fish and insects. Without a sufficient amount of oxygen in the water, marine life in the body

Luckily, phosphates can be found in abundance on Mars, and beyond. Three published students “predict phosphate release rates during water–rock interactions on Mars that are as much as 45 times higher than on Earth and phosphate concentrations of early wet martian environments more than twice those of Earth.” (Adcock, C. T., E. M. Hausrath, and P. M. Forster. " Readily available phosphate from minerals in early aqueous environments on Mars. " Nature Geoscience 6.10 (2013): 824-27.

Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.

Whereas during the Phosphorous Cycle(PO4-3) does not cycle through the atmosphere. The Phosphate enters the producers through the soil and cycles locally through decomposers, producers and consumers. This is due to the fact that Phosphorous is found on the Earth. However, this nutrient gradually becomes less due to runoff. So the low concentration of phosphorus in the soil reduces the plant growth.

water or fertilizer. It is not unusual for plants with root rot to regenerate new roots to replace those killed by the pathogen, but the newly developed root system may only support the plant when adequate moisture is available. Such plants may not show above ground symptoms well enough to be culled in the nursery prior to sale. As several pathogens can produce the same symptoms, and two or more pathogens may be affecting the nursery crop, nurseries need access to a professional diagnostic laboratory. Accurate identification of pathogens is essential to allow the correct decision to be made regarding disease management (Anon.2016g).

A wide variety of different monomer compositions of PHA has been described, as well as their future prospects for applications where high biodegradability or biocompatibility is required. PHA can be produced from renewable raw materials and are degraded naturally by microorganisms that enable carbon dioxide and organic compound recycling in the ecosystem, providing a buffer to climate change. Although more than 300 different microorganisms synthesize PHA(Steinbüchel, A et al,1995, Kim et al,2001, Lenz et al,2005, Hazer et al ,2007), only a few, such as Cupriavidus necator (formerly known as Ralstonia eutropha or Alcaligenes eutrophus), Alcaligenes latus, Azotobacter vinelandii, Pseudomonas oleovorans, Paracoccus denitrificans, Protomonas extorquens, and recombinant E. coli, are able to produce sufficient PHA for large-scale production. The objective of this study was to isolate and identification PHA-producing bacteria in different soils collected from Allahabad and characterization for Plant growth promoting traits for the enhancement of Rice seed germination under in Vitro

The addition of contaminants and pollutants like salt, lime, heavy metals and fungicides leads to inactive mycorrhizae. Adding large quantities fertilizers especially those that contain phosphate is the most damaging to mycorrhizal health because nutrients will be available for these plants from fertilizers and eventually plants will no more rely on mycorrhizae. Beside to this , this nutrient-rich environment will be an excellent environment for microbes where mycorrhizae become inactive and wait for more suitable soil

Pg 25a) Auxin is an important plant growth regulator (plant hormone), and it’s quite powerful so it can be active at very low concentrations. For this experiment we used a synthetic Auxin called 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Auxins tend to inhibit the outgrowth of axillary shoots, and tend to promote the formation of root meristems. Cytokinin is another important plant growth regulator, and along with Auxin both of these hormones are very important in plant development.
