Abstract:

The accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)in farmland not only seriously hinder crop growth,but also increase food security risks. Screening the microorganisms with both the functions of promoting plant growth and degrading pollutants is an effective means to solving the above problems. Strain PR3 was isolated from the root surface of plants growing near the oil field,which had the ability of degrading pyrene,and also showed the properties of promoting plant growth like phosphorus dissolution,indole acetic acid and siderophore production. The results of 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that the strain was classified as Pseudomonas sp. After growing in PMM medium containing 20 mg/L pyrene for 14 d,the degradation rate of pyrene by strain PR3 reached 94%. The degradation rates of naphthalene(50 mg/L),phenanthrene(50 mg/L)and benzo(a)pyrene(10 mg/L)at 14 d were 92%,84% and 47%,respectively. Furthermore,the maximum dissolved phosphorus amount of strain PR3 was 756.25 mg/L in 7 d,the synthesis amount of IAA in 2 d was up to 14.46 mg/L,and the synthetic siderophore activity unit in 4 d reached 58.53%. Greenhouse pot experiments under different pyrene contamination concentration demonstrated that the inoculation of strain PR3 significantly improved the growth of rice and increased the degradation of pyrene near rhizosphere,and the removal rate reached 72.02%-86.22%. Meanwhile,the pyrene contents in the roots and shoots decreased by 21.81%-53.01% and 49.81%-57.17%,respectively. These results indicated that strain PR3 could contribute to the ecological remediation of pyrene-contaminated soil and reduce the risk of pyrene exposure to crops.
