Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbiology and relates to bacterial strains NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 and their application in promoting the growth of forage grasses in saline-alkali land. Specifically, it relates to a bacterial synbiotic of beneficial growth-promoting bacteria and the application of the bacterial synbiotic in promoting the growth of forage grasses (such as alfalfa). Specifically, it relates to the application of 4-guanidinobutyric acid in combination with bacteria NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 in promoting high yields of forage grasses in saline-alkali land. Background Technology

[0002] my country currently faces a shortage of nearly 50 million tons of high-quality forage grass. However, forage grass cannot compete with grain for land; therefore, breakthroughs in high-yield forage grass cultivation on marginal land are urgently needed. The key to improving the effective utilization of plant nutrients lies in regulating the "rhizosphere community" composed of plant roots and rhizosphere microorganisms. Its core is a mutually beneficial cycle where beneficial microorganisms promote plant growth, and plants provide root exudates to nourish these microorganisms. However, the low nutrient content and high environmental stress of soil in marginal lands lead to a decline in the ecological function of beneficial microorganisms, hindering the mutually beneficial cycle within the rhizosphere community and thus limiting healthy plant growth.

[0003] Currently, establishing rhizosphere growth-promoting measures tailored to plants and strengthening the mutually beneficial relationship between plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere are key to increasing the yield of plants in marginal land. However, traditional beneficial microbial products often struggle to colonize in the rhizosphere in marginal land due to environmental stress, leading to unstable effects. In marginal soils, it is necessary to combine beneficial bacteria with root exudates that promote their growth and colonization in the rhizosphere to form a "rhizosphere synbiotic," thereby enhancing the mutually beneficial relationship between the beneficial bacteria and plants.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to find resources that can promote the growth of alfalfa in saline-alkali soil, provide a suitable environment for forage grass growth in the soil, and enhance its ability to withstand soil salinity stress. The inventors intend to screen resource substances that can effectively improve the growth ability of alfalfa in saline-alkali land, and apply microorganisms in combination with resource substances (synbiotics) into the soil to improve the growth-promoting effect on forage grasses in marginal soils. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where limited soil nutrients and slow bacterial growth under salt stress hinder bacterial growth promotion in plants, making it difficult for bacteria to proliferate significantly and exert their intended protective effect, the present inventors, through greenhouse pot experiments, discovered that the combined use of three bacterial strains—NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4—with 4-guanidinobutyric acid, applied to the soil via root irrigation, significantly increased alfalfa biomass in saline-alkali soils.

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0057] Experiment Example 1: Isolation, Screening and Identification of Bacteria

[0058] Strain screening: Saline-alkali soil samples were collected from Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province, and approximately 5 g was weighed using a balance. A pre-sterilized conical flask containing 45 ml of sterile water and several sterile glass beads was taken out. The soil sample was poured into the flask, sealed with a sealing film, and placed in a single-layer rotary shaker at 200 rpm for 1 hour. This is 10... -1The dilution solution. On the laminar flow hood, select a test tube containing 4.5 ml of sterile water, and use a sterile pipette tip to transfer 0.5 ml of the suspension from the conical flask into it, and aspirate and blow several times. This is 10. -2 Dilute the solution, then transfer 0.5 ml of the suspension to the next test tube; this makes 10. -3 For diluents, prepare 10 solutions respectively, following this method. -3 10 -4 10 -5 Diluent. Three dilution levels were selected, and bacterial NA medium was used for spread culture. 0.1 ml of diluent was placed on each plate, and the spread should be as uniform as possible. Three replicates were set for each dilution level. The uniformly spread bacterial NA medium plates were placed in an incubator at 30°C. Single bacterial colonies grew within 24 hours. Single colonies were picked and purified a second time, ensuring that each picked colony was a single colony. The bacterial suspension was obtained by shaking in well plates and identified by molecular biology as *Microbacterium laevaniformans*, *Flavobacterium anhuiense*, and *Rhodococcus oxybenzonivorans*, and named NAU-MIC2, NAU-FLA4, and NAU-RHO (e.g., ). Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).

[0059] The bacterial strain NAU-MIC2, classified as Microbacterium laevaniformans, was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection on May 16, 2025, with accession number CCTCC M 20251086 and address at Wuhan University, China.

[0060] The bacterial strain NAU-FLA4, classified as Flavobacterium anhuiense, was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection on May 16, 2025, with accession number CCTCC M 20251087 and deposit address: Wuhan University, China.

[0061] The bacterial strain NAU-RHO, classified as Rhodococcus oxybenzonivorans, was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection on May 16, 2025, with accession number CCTCC M 20251088, at Wuhan University, China.

[0062] Example 2: Investigating the effect of resource materials on bacterial biomass over 48 hours

[0063] Preparation of the mother liquor of resource substances: Accurately weigh each resource substance using a 0.01 g balance, dissolve it in deionized water or warm water, and aspirate it with a sterile syringe. Filter the solution through a 0.22 μm filter membrane into a 50 mL sterile centrifuge tube to obtain a sterile mother liquor of resource substances with a concentration of 1 mM. Store the solution in a -4 ℃ refrigerator for later use.

[0064] Preparation of bacterial suspensions: Strains NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 were activated using NA solid medium. Single colonies of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 were picked and cultured individually on NA liquid medium at 30℃ and 170 rpm for 2 days to obtain single-strain suspensions of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4. Each of the three fresh suspensions was diluted 10-fold with sterile water to obtain 1×10⁻⁶ bacterial suspensions. 8 Individual bacterial suspensions of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 (CFU / mL) were then added to the rhizosphere of the potted plants in equal proportions (10 ml per bacterium per pot).

[0065] Plate preparation: 96-well plates (200 μL per well) were used. 178 μL of sterile 1 / 20 liquid NA medium was added to each well, along with 20 μL of pre-prepared stock solution of resource material or sterile water. Finally, 2 μL of bacterial culture was added to each well. The plates were incubated at 30°C and 170 rpm on a shaker for 48 hours, and the OD600 biomass was measured.

[0066] Experimental setup and treatment: Experimental group: Added resource materials and bacterial solutions of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4; Control group: Added only bacterial solutions of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4, and replaced the resource materials with an equal volume of water.

[0067] The effects of different resource substances on the biomass of bacteria NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 are shown in the figure. Figure 3 The experimental results showed that, compared with the control group, vanillic acid, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-guanidinobutyric acid, and 5-hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid significantly increased the biomass of the NAU-RHO bacterial strain after 48 hours (e.g., Figure 3 (A in the middle)

[0068] Compared with the control group, 4-guanidinobutyric acid significantly increased the biomass of bacterial strain NAU-FLA4 after 48 hours (e.g., Figure 3 (B in the middle)

[0069] Compared with the control group, 4-guanidinobutyric acid significantly increased the biomass of bacterial strain NAU-MIC2 after 48 hours (e.g., Figure 3 (C in the middle).

[0070] In summary, the results show that, compared with the control group, 4-guanidinobutyric acid can significantly promote the increase of bacterial biomass of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 (P<0.05).

[0071] Example 3: Effects of combined application of resource substances and bacterial growth promoters on alfalfa growth under salt-alkali stress.

[0072] Soil: Saline-alkali soil from Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province (pH: 8.36, EC: 2.69 ms / cm)

[0073] The preparation of bacterial suspensions of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 is described in Example 2.

[0074] Based on the effect of resource substances on promoting bacterial salt-alkali tolerance, superior resource substances (bacteria NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, NAU-FLA4, resource substance: 4-guanidinobutyric acid) were screened, and the effects of the above resource substances and bacteria in combination on the salt-alkali tolerance of alfalfa were further investigated.

[0075] Alfalfa variety: Aurora.

[0076] After surface sterilization, alfalfa seeds were placed on sterile plates lined with filter paper moistened with sterile deionized water and germinated at 4℃ for 2 days. Seedlings with uniform growth were transplanted into 4-well seedling trays containing 100 g of Dongtai saline-alkali soil. Seven days after transplanting, bacteria and resource substances were evenly applied to the roots of the alfalfa using a root irrigation method. 1 mL of a 0.1 mol / L resource substance solution was added to each pot (ensuring a total of 0.1 mmol of resource substance per pot), along with 10 mL of a 10% concentration solution. 8CFU / mL of NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 bacterial suspensions were used in the experiment. The treatments were: 1) Bacterial NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 + resource substance group: resource substance and bacterial NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 suspensions were added; 2) Bacterial NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 group: only three bacterial suspensions were added, and the resource substance was replaced with an equal volume of water; 3) Single bacterial suspension group: only a single bacterial suspension was added, and the resource substance and the other two bacterial suspensions were replaced with an equal volume of water; 4) Resource suspension group: only resource substance was added, and the three bacterial suspensions were replaced with an equal volume of water; 5) Control group: an equal volume of water replaced the resource substance and bacterial suspensions. After approximately 60 days of growth, the growth-promoting effect of bacterial prebiotics on alfalfa under salt-alkali stress was observed.

[0077] In this embodiment, different treatment combinations affect the growth of alfalfa seedlings as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0078] The results showed that the plant height and fresh weight of alfalfa plants increased significantly compared with the control group (CK) after the addition of a single substance, indicating that a single bacterial solution or resource substance can promote the growth of alfalfa under salt-alkali stress.

[0079] In this embodiment, the plant height and fresh weight of alfalfa plants significantly increased compared to the control group (CK) after the addition of a single substance or bacterial solution, indicating that bacterial solution and resource substances can promote the growth of alfalfa under salt-alkali stress. The combined use of three bacterial strains, NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4, with 4-guanidinobutyric acid showed significantly better growth-promoting effects on alfalfa under salt-alkali stress than the combined application of bacteria NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4. This indicates that the combined use of the three bacterial strains NAU-RHO, NAU-MIC2, and NAU-FLA4 with 4-guanidinobutyric acid can better improve the salt-alkali tolerance and growth-promoting ability of alfalfa under salt-alkali stress, alleviate salt damage, increase biomass, and thus promote alfalfa growth.
