Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microorganisms and biotechnology, and particularly relates to Erwinia capable of promoting germination of giant cedar seeds and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Cupressus gigantean, also known as Yarlung Zangbo cypress, is a rare and unique evergreen tree, listed as a Class I endangered tree species in my country. Its population is mainly distributed in strips or sporadically in some river valleys along the Yarlung Zangbo River and its tributary, the Niyang River, in southeastern Tibet. With its excellent material and outstanding tolerance, Cupressus gigantean plays a key role in soil and water conservation and water conservation. As an ancient species, Cupressus gigantean is of great significance to the study of vegetation evolution and paleoclimate reconstruction, and is also of great significance to the protection of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecosystem.
[0003] At present, the giant cypress population is facing severe challenges of natural regeneration, and the population is in decline as a whole. The primary problem is that the seed quality is poor, the natural germination rate is low, and the seedlings have weak adaptability to the environment. The harsh habitat conditions make the conversion rate from seeds to saplings extremely low. Secondly, the geographical distribution range of giant cypress is narrow, and the habitat is heterogeneous and fragmented, which poses a serious constraint on its growth and development. In addition, the climate in southeastern Tibet tends to be "warm and dry", droughts are frequent, and human factors such as the development and construction of the lower reaches of the Yajiang River have further aggravated the deterioration of the living environment of giant cypress. The germination of giant cypress seeds mainly depends on natural conditions, is inefficient, and is greatly affected by environmental factors. Therefore, it is crucial to develop an effective technology to promote the germination of giant cypress seeds, innovate the existing microbial agent production formula, and explore local efficient strains with stronger resistance and higher growth-promoting ability to make efficient microbial agents or construct synthetic flora to promote the renewal and recovery of giant cypress populations. Summary of the invention
[0004] Plant roots contain a large number of microorganisms, one of which can promote seed germination, plant growth and disease prevention, known as growth-promoting microorganisms. Growth-promoting microorganisms play a vital role in improving the soil environment, promoting plant nutrient absorption and enhancing plant resistance.

[0026] Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources.
[0027] Example 1 Isolation of strain STSG25-LZ24
[0028] 1.1 Strain source
[0029] The root samples of giant cypress in this example were collected from the Institute of Plateau Ecology in Linzhi City, Tibet Autonomous Region in June 2024. The samples were placed in sterile sealed plastic bags, labeled, brought back to the laboratory in time, and stored in a -20°C refrigerator.
[0030] 1.2 Isolation of endophytic bacteria from Cupressus giganteus
[0031] The roots of Giant Cupressus were disinfected with 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for 1 min and 75% alcohol for 1 min. After rinsing with sterile water for 5 min, the surface moisture of the roots was absorbed with sterile filter paper, and then the roots were added with sterile water for grinding. After 1 mL of the ground liquid was diluted twice, 150 μL of the diluted liquid was inoculated into LB medium and spread, and cultured inverted at 28°C for 3 days. Single colonies were picked and purified according to the apparent characteristics such as colony size, morphology and color. 60 cultivable strains were obtained through separation and purification.
[0032] Example 2 Qualitative analysis of indoleacetic acid (IAA) production capacity
[0033] Part of the strains isolated above were inoculated into King's medium and cultured to the logarithmic phase. They were shaken at 28°C and 180 r / min for 3 days. 50 μl was taken out and placed on a clean white porcelain plate. 50 μL of the developer was added and the plate was incubated at 28°C in the dark for 30 min. If a pink color appeared, it indicated that the strain was able to produce IAA. The stronger the pink color, the stronger the ability of the strain to produce IAA. Using King's medium without inoculation as control, the qualitative results of IAA production ability of different strains (YD5MG9-34, YD5MG9-13, YD5MG9-11, YD5MG9-60, YD5MG9043, YD5MG9-30, YD5MG9-15, YD5MG9-12, YD5MG9-42, YD5MG9-10, YD5MG9-47, YD5MG9-9, YD5MG9-56, YD5MG9-2, YD5MG9-6, YD5MG9-14, STS-G19, STS-Y18, STS-G33, STS-G25, STS-Y8, STS-Y16, STS-G26, STS-G27, STS-G37, STS-Y5) are shown in Figure 1 , where CK is distilled water, CKM is the culture medium stock solution, Figure 1 It shows that STSG25-LZ24 (the original number in the figure was STSG-25, and the number was subsequently adjusted to STSG25-LZ24 to emphasize its origin) has a higher IAA production capacity than other strains.
[0034] Example 3 Inorganic phosphorus degradation ability
[0035] Some of the isolated strains were inoculated on PVK medium and cultured at 28°C for 3 days. The inorganic phosphorus dissolution zone (H) and colony diameter (h) were determined, and the (H / h) ratio was calculated. The larger the ratio, the greater the phosphorus dissolution index. The phosphorus dissolution index of different strains is shown in Table 1, which proves that 18 of the 60 strains have phosphorus dissolution ability, accounting for 30% of the isolated culturable strains. Among them, the solubility index of strain STSG25-LZ24 is 1.5, which is between the medium level of the above strains.

After 72 hours of culture, it was used as seed liquid to inoculate LB liquid medium at a ratio of 1:1, and then cultured in a constant temperature shaker at 28°C and 160r / min for 120 hours to make the live bacterial concentration of the bacterial liquid reach 107 CFU / mL, and then taken out for use. 10 giant cypress seeds were spread on each sterile culture dish, and the bacterial suspension of strain STSG25-LZ24 was inoculated on the surface of giant cypress seeds by spraying to ensure that the surface of the seeds was evenly covered with bacterial liquid. The bacterial suspension was added once every 3 days, 5 ml each time, and irrigated 3 times in total. Distilled water (CK), blank culture medium (CKM) and some other strains (STS-Y16, YD5MG9-9, STS-G27) were used as control experiments according to the above treatment methods. After 10 days of cultivation, the germination of seeds was observed and recorded. The test results are shown in Figure 5 , proving that the germination of giant cedar seeds treated with the strain STSG25-LZ24 bacterial suspension was faster than that of the control group. Through the above implementation, multiple experiments have proved that the strain STSG25-LZ24 can significantly promote the germination rate and growth rate of giant cedar seeds, and has good application prospects.

[0049] The strain DNA was extracted using a bacterial genome extraction kit and diluted 50 times as a template for PCR reaction to amplify the strain 16S rRNA sequence. The amplification primers were 27F and 1492R. The amplified product was then recovered and sequenced. The measured sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The NCBI gene accession number is PQ849237.
[0050] Based on the above characteristics, strain STSG25-LZ24 was identified as Erwinia billingiae. Its colony characteristics are shown in Figure 6 The strain is white in the culture medium, the surface of the colony is smooth and sticky, and it is easy to pick up when wet. The strain has been deposited with the deposit number CGMCC No. 33386.
