Abstract

In the pursuit of sustainable and environmentally-friendly agricultural practices, we conducted an extensive study on the rhizosphere bacteria inhabiting soils that have been devoid of chemical fertilizers for an extended period exceeding 40 years. Through this investigation, we isolated a total of 80 species of plant growth-promoting rhizosphere bacteria and assessed their potential to enhance plant growth. Among these isolates, Burkholderia cepacia CD2 displayed remarkable plant growth-promoting activity, making it an optimal candidate for further analysis. Burkholderia cepacia CD2 exhibited a range of beneficial characteristics conducive to plant growth, including phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, denitrification, nitrate utilization, and urease activity. These attributes are well-known to positively influence the growth and development of plants. To validate the taxonomic classification of the strain, 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed its placement within the Burkholderia genus, providing further insights into its phylogenetic relationship. To delve deeper into the potential mechanisms underlying its plant growth-promoting properties, we sought to confirm the presence of specific genes associated with plant growth promotion in CD2. To achieve this, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed by Plasmidsaurus Inc. (USA) utilizing Oxford Nanopore technology (Abingdon, UK). The WGS analysis of the genome of CD2 revealed the existence of a subsystem function, which is thought to be a pivotal factor contributing to improved plant growth. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Burkholderia cepacia CD2 has the potential to serve as a microbial fertilizer, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers.

지속 가능하고 친환경적인 농업 관행을 추구하기 위해 우리는 40년이 넘는 장기간 동안 화학 비료를 사용하지 않은 토양에 서식하는 근권 박테리아에 대한 광범위한 연구를 수행하였다. 이번 조사를 통해 식물생장촉진 근권박테리아 총 80종을 분리하고 이들의 식물생장 증진 가능성을 평가했다. 이러한 분리균중에서 Burkholderia cepacia CD2는 가장 우수한 식물 성장촉진 활성과 생장능을 나타내어 추가 분석을 위한 최적의 후보균주로 선정되었다. Burkholderia cepacia CD2는 인 가용화 능력, 사이드로포어 생산, 탈질화 능력, 아질산 이온 활용능력 및 요소분해효소 활성을 포함하여 식물 성장에 도움이 되는 다양한 유익한 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 특성은 식물의 성장과 발달에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 균주의 분류학적 분류를 검증하기 위해 16S rRNA 유전자 서열분석을 통해 Burkholderia 속 내 위치를 확인하여 계통발생 관계에 대한 추가 통찰력을 제공하였다. 식물 생장 촉진 특성의 기본 메커니즘을 더 깊이 조사하기 위해 우리는 CD2에서 식물 생장촉진과 관련된 특정 유전자의 존재를 확인하려고 하였다. 이를 달성하기 위해 옥스포드 나노포어를 활용하여 전장 유전체 시퀀싱을 수행하였다. CD2 게놈에 대한 전장유전체 분석을 통해 식물 생장 개선에 중추적 요인으로 생각되는 하위 시스템 기능을 확인하였다. 이러한 발견을 바탕으로 Burkholderia cepacia CD2는 미생물 비료로 작용하여 화학 비료에 대한 지속 가능한 대안을 제공할 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있다는 결론을 내릴수 있다.
