Immobilization Ofbradyrhizobiumandazospirillumin Alginate Matrix For Long Time Of Storage Maintains Cell Viability And Interaction With Peanut
APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY(2020)
Abstract
Immobilizarion of PGPR for agricultural applications aims to provide temporary physical protection from stressful environmental conditions and the gradual release of cells for successful root colonization, release the cells gradually. In this work, we immobilizedBradyrhizobiumsp. SEMIA6144 orAzospirillum brasilenseAz39 cells in 2% alginate beads prepared by ionic gelation process, and then stored up to 12 months at 4 degrees C. Alginate matrix showed interaction with the immobilized bacteria (FTIR), allowed a constant release of cells, and improved their viability and capability to interact withArachis hypogaea. Cell number into beads reached 10(7)CFU.bead(-1); however, viability decreased from 4 months of storage for Az39, while it was maintained up to 12 months for SEMIA6144, showing a low metabolic activity measured by the MTT assay. Adhesion of SEMIA6144 and Az39 from new beads to peanut root was 11.5% and 16%, respectively, higher than non-immobilized bacteria. Peanut inoculation with 12 months storage SEMIA6144 beads significantly increased root length and biomass at 30 days of growth, and under restrictive water condition (RWC), nodulation and total plant N content increased compared with liquid inoculation. Our results demonstrate that immobilization of SEMIA6144 and Az39 in alginate matrix is a potential alternative to enhance peanut growth even under RWC.
