Journal Article
Exopolysaccharides and indole-3-acetic acid producing Bacillus safensis strain FN13 potential candidate for phytostabilization of heavy metals
2020
Overview
Microbial population of soils irrigated with industrial wastewater may contain certain exopolysaccharides (EPS) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) producing bacterial strains having the ability to tolerate heavy metals along with plant growth–promoting (PGP) traits. As cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals for soils, plants, animals, and human beings, the present study was planned to isolate and characterize EPS- and IAA-producing, Cd-tolerant bacterial strains having tolerance against heavy metals along with plant growth–promoting traits. A total of 30 rhizobacterial strains (FN1–FN30) were isolated from rhizosphere soil collected from fields around industrial areas and roadsides irrigated with industrial wastewater. Out of these, eight isolates with the combined ability of IAA production and EPS production were characterized for PGP traits. On the basis of multifarious PGP traits and the results of root colonization assay, three most efficient EPS- and IAA-producing, Cd-tolerant plant growth–promoting strains, i.e., FN13, FN14, and FN16, were selected for multiple metal (Cd, Pb, Ni, and Cu) tolerance test along with quantification of growth, and IAA and EPS production abilities under Cd stress. Increasing levels of Cd stress negatively affected the tested characteristics of these strains, but FN13 showed more stability in growth, IAA production (18.24 μg mL
−1
), and EPS production (148.99 μg mL
−1
) compared to other strains under Cd stress. The morphological and biochemical analysis confirmed FN13 as Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria with smooth colonies of yellow appearance. The strain FN13 has strong root colonization (3.36 × 10
6
CFU g
−1
) ability for mustard seedlings and can solubilize Zn and phosphate along with the production of HCN, ammonia, and siderophores. The 16S rRNA sequencing confirmed it as the
Bacillus safensis
strain FN13. It can be explored as potential phytostabilizing biofertilizer for heavy metal–contaminated soils.
