摘要
Inoculation of plants with bacteria that produce indole acetic acid (IAA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) often has a positive effect on alleviation of salt stress in plants. Here, we isolated, characterized and formulated halotolerant bacterial consortia from avocado trees with the aim of developing biofertilizers to improve avocado production on saline soils. Using wheat as a test plant, experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of selected bacterial consortia on growth, biomass and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of wheat seedlings exposed to salt stress (0.25 M and 0.45 M NaCl) under greenhouse conditions. Among 309 isolates, 17.4% were characterized as halotolerant IAA- and ACCD-producing bacteria. Based on differences in their IAA production and ACCD activities, four consortia were formulated using members of five genera: Enterobacter, Serratia, Microbacterium, Pseudomonas and Achromobacter. Inoculation with selected halotolerant bacterial consortia significantly (P >= 0.05) increased the emergence, growth, biomass and SOD activity of wheat seedlings exposed to salt stress. Avocado trees and their rhizosphere soils harbor halotolerant IAA- and ACCD-producing bacteria with the potential to mitigate the salt stress effects on plants. While wheat was useful for screening, further studies are necessary to validate the effects of selected bacterial consortia on avocado growth and yields under saline conditions.
