Abstract

Photosynthetic purple nonsulfur bacterial strains were isolated from the sediments collected from rice paddy fields and sludges of wastewater treatment plant, and their plant growth promoting capabilities were examined. Most well known phytohormones, auxin such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 5'-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) were detected by HPLC in the culture broth of these isolates. Among the isolated bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas faecalis D15 showed the highest production rate of 769.8 ${\mu}g$/mg protein of IAA, 1323 ${\mu}g$/mg protein of IBA and 7.4 mM/mg protein of ALA in the modified Biebl and Pfennig's medium. R. faecalis C9 showed the highest production rate of 20.82 ${\mu}g$/mg protein of gibberellin. In consequence, the root length and dry weight of the germinated tomato seedling treated with R. faecalis isolates were longer and heavier than those of uninoculated control after 15 days of incubation in the soil. Especially, the dry weight of germinated tomato seedling increased by 119.4% in C9-treated samples after 15 days. These purple nonsulfur bacteria may be utilized as environment-friendly biofertilizer in the agriculture.

광합성 자색비유황세균으로 동정된 균주들을 논 퇴적토와 분뇨처리장 슬러지로부터 분리하였고 그들의 식물생장촉진능을 조사하였다. 이 균주들의 배양액에서 대표적인 식물호르몬인 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)와 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) 및 5'-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)의 생성을 측정하였다. 분리 균주 중 Rhodopseudomonas faecalis D15가 modified Biebl and Pfennig 배지에서 IAA는 769.8 ${\mu}g$/mg protein, IBA는 1323 ${\mu}g$/mg protein 그리고 ALA는 7.4 mM/mg protein의 가장 높은 생성률을 나타내었으며, R. faecalis C9는 20.8 ${\mu}g$/mg protein의 가장 높은 gibberellin 생성률을 나타내었다. 이 균주들을 토양에 파종한 토마토 종자에 접종하고 15일 후에 자라 난 유묘의 뿌리 길이와 건조중량은 비접종 대조군보다 더 컸으며 특히 C9 균주 처리 시료는 건조중량이 대조군에 비해 119.4% 증가하였다. 이 자색비유황세균 분리균주는 식물생장 촉진을 위한 친환경적 생물비료로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.
