Abstract:

【Objective】 To explore innovative ways for the development of microbial fertilizers, rhizosphere microbial resources of plants are being mined from ionic rare earth mines, of which growth-promoting bacteria with multiple functions were isolated and identified, and their biological characteristics and promoting effects were also investigated. 【Method】 The strain DW019 isolated from the rhizosphere in an ionic rare earth mining area in Gannan of Jiangxi province was identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and culture characteristics, classifying its genus and species. Its growth-promoting characteristics was preliminarily determined by the detection of production of IAA, iron carriers, and ammonia. The antagonistic effect of the strain against typical soil-borne disease causative organisms was measured by using the plate-confrontation method. Finally, the growth indexes, chlorophyll, antioxidant enzyme activities, and nutritional quality of lettuce(Lactuca sativa)were measured by potting experiments to determine the growth-promoting effect of strain DW019 on lettuce. 【Result】 The strain was identified as Bacillus cereus DW019, with the ability of producing IAA, iron carrier and ammonia. The strain showed strong inhibition effects against Thanatephorus cucumeris, Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon and Alternaria alternata(Fries)Keissler. Compared to the control group, the above-ground part biomass, biological indices of potted lettuce were significantly improved by the addition of different concentrations of DW019, respectively, and its chlorophyll content, water content, vitamin C, soluble sugars, malondialdehyde(MDA)and peroxidase(POD)were also significantly promoted. 【Conclusion】 Bacillus cereus DW019 is a multifunctional plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium with phytohormone-producing and biocontrol ability, which has strong inhibitory effect on a variety of soil-borne disease-causing bacteria, and significantly promotes plant growth and improves plant quality.
