AI Technical Summary
Existing salt-tolerant PGPR strains exhibit suppressed activity under high salt and alkali stress, limiting their application scope. There is a lack of broad-spectrum strains capable of simultaneously tolerating sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate salt and alkali types, making it difficult to effectively promote plant growth.
A strain of *Priestella megaterium* HA22ALE was screened and cultured. Through 175 adaptive evolutions in a medium containing sodium sulfate and high pH, a strain was obtained that could grow under conditions of 110 g/L sodium chloride, 70 g/L sodium sulfate, and pH 6.0–11.0. This strain had potassium-solubilizing ability and could produce indoleacetic acid, inhibiting the growth of *Fusarium oxysporum*.
It significantly improved the germination rate and biomass of plants under various salt and alkali stresses, effectively inhibited Fusarium oxysporum, alleviated salt and alkali stress, and promoted the growth of soybeans and corn.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of microbial technology, in particular to a broad-spectrum salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant Pristinamycete and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are mainly three types of saline-alkali soil, including coastal saline-alkali soil, inland saline-alkali soil and soda saline-alkali soil. The coastal saline-alkali soil mainly contains sodium chloride, the inland saline-alkali soil mainly contains sodium sulfate, and the soda saline-alkali soil has low salt content but high pH, and the salt mainly includes sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. In recent years, with the gradual expansion of the area of land salinization, the growth and development of plants are seriously affected, and therefore, it is currently an urgent task to solve the problem of plant growth and development under salt stress for the treatment of saline-alkali soil.
[0003] Microbial improvement of saline-alkali soil has the advantages of environmental friendliness and simple operation, and has great application and development potential. Among microorganisms, there is a kind of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) which can exist in the rhizosphere soil of plants, inhibit plant diseases and promote plant growth. The plant growth promoting rhizobacteria can directly secrete plant hormones, increase soil nutrients and promote plant growth and development, such as producing ACC deaminase, IAA, nitrogen fixation, phosphorus dissolution, potassium dissolution, iron carrier production, etc., and can also indirectly inhibit pathogenic bacteria and compete with pathogenic bacteria to promote plant growth.
[0004] Although PGPR can promote plant growth by secreting plant hormones, activating soil nutrients and other ways, its activity is often inhibited in high salt-alkali stress environment, and the application effect of the strain is often greatly discounted or even completely disappeared. In addition, in recent years, the research on salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant PGPR mainly focuses on sodium chloride and sodium sulfate conditions, and there are few studies on sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate conditions, the application range of the strain is single, and there is a lack of broad-spectrum salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant strain which can tolerate three types of salt-alkali including sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate. Therefore, screening of broad-spectrum salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant PGPR is of great significance for promoting plant growth under salt-alkali conditions. SUMMARY

Figure 2 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] The application will be described in further detail below with specific reference to the embodiments. The examples given are merely for the purpose of illustrating the application and are not intended to limit the scope of the application. The examples provided below can serve as a guide for further improvement by those of ordinary skill in the art, and do not in any way constitute a limitation on the application.
[0052] The experimental methods in the following examples are all conventional methods, and are carried out according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art or according to the product instructions, unless otherwise specified. The materials, reagents, etc. used in the following examples can be obtained commercially, unless otherwise specified.
[0053] Example 1, isolation and purification of strains The sample was soybean, and the soybean root system was taken out as completely as possible. The plant roots were gently shaken to remove loose soil, leaving only the soil adhering to the root system. The root system was placed in PBS buffer with the addition of 0.02% Silwet L-77, and stirred with sterile tweezers to wash off the rhizosphere soil adhering to the soybean roots. The collected soil suspension was filtered with 8 layers of sterile gauze to remove plant debris and large particle precipitates, and transferred to a sterile centrifuge tube. The centrifuge tube was centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded to obtain the rhizosphere soil sample. The rhizosphere soil sample was resuspended in PBS buffer, and glass beads were added. The mixture was shaken at 200 rpm for 10 min to obtain a soil suspension. The soil suspension was gradient diluted with a pipette to 10 -6 , 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 10 -6 Each 0.1 mL of the dilution was spread on an LB plate, and each concentration gradient was repeated three times, and the plates were incubated at 28°C upside down. After observing the growth of colonies, different bacteria were picked according to the color, morphology, and size of the colonies, and four-zone streaking was performed on LB plates. After two times of streaking and purification, strain HA22 was obtained. The purified strain HA22 was inoculated into LB liquid medium for activation, and incubated at 28°C at 200 rpm overnight. 500 μL of the bacterial solution was mixed with 500 μL of 60% sterile glycerol in a bacterial preservation tube, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed and stored at -80°C.
[0054] Example 2, obtaining a broad-spectrum salt-tolerant strain HA22ALE through adaptive evolution 1. Adaptive evolution With strain HA22 as the starting strain, with the addition of 15 g / L sodium sulfate, using sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer solution to adjust the pH to 8.0 in 1 / 10 TSB liquid medium (formula: casein 1.7 g, soybean peptone 0.3 g, sodium chloride 0.5 g, potassium phosphate 0.25 g, glucose 0.25 g, sodium sulfate 15 g, agar 20 g, distilled water 1 L, using sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer solution to adjust the pH to 8.0) as the starting medium for subculture, by increasing the concentration of sodium sulfate in the medium and the pH, the salt and alkali tolerance of the strain is gradually improved, and the salt and alkali tolerant evolved strain HA22ALE is obtained, the specific steps are as follows: (1) 20 μL from the glycerol tube (stored at -80°C refrigerator) was inoculated on 1 / 10 TSB solid medium, and incubated at 28°C for 24 h.
[0055] (2) The activated strain was inoculated with a loop into 5 mL of 1 / 10 TSB liquid medium, and incubated at 28°C, 200 rpm for 12 h to prepare the seed liquid.
[0056] (3) The seed liquid was transferred to 50 mL (150 mL conical flask) of 1 / 10 TSB liquid medium containing 15 g / L, using sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer solution to adjust the pH to 8.0, with a 1% inoculation amount for subculture, and the culture conditions were 28°C, 200 rpm.
[0057] (4) After 24 h of culture, 0.5 mL of bacterial liquid was transferred to 50 mL (150 mL conical flask) of 1 / 10 TSB liquid medium containing 15 g / L, using sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer solution to adjust the pH to 8.0, for further subculture evolution.
[0058] (5) In this way, the evolution and subculture process was repeated. When the strain could grow stably and rapidly in the evolution medium at this concentration, the concentration of sodium sulfate in the medium was further increased (1.8% Na2SO4, 2.0% Na2SO4, 3.0% Na2SO4, 3.5% Na2SO4, 4.0% Na2SO4, wherein % represents g / 100 mL) and the pH (8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 9.7, 10.0) was increased, and the above operation was repeated.
[0059] As shown in Figure 3 , through adaptive evolution, the salt and alkali tolerant strain HA22ALE was obtained. After 175 generations, the strain grew in an evolution medium of 40 g / L sodium sulfate, pH 10.0, and the OD 600 at 24 h reached 0.69, with excellent salt and alkali tolerance.
[0060] 2. Identification of strains (1) Identification of microbiological characteristics Strain HA22ALE appears as pale yellow, round, moist colonies on 1 / 10 TSB plates. pncA Gram-positive bacteria, aerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped; can produce IAA and has potassium-solubilizing ability.
[0061] (2) Detection of 16S rRNA gene sequence Genomic DNA was extracted from bacterial strains using the TIANamp Bacteria DNA Kit. Using the bacterial genomic DNA as a template, the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the bacteria was amplified using primers 27F: GAGAGTTGATCCTGGCTCAG and 1492R: CTACGGCTACCTTGTTACGA. The PCR products were sent to Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. for sequencing, and the obtained sequences were submitted to NCBI (https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ) for BLAST alignment analysis. Phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the alignment results. ddpF The strains HA22 and HA22ALE were identified as belonging to the genus *Priscilla*. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HA22 is shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HA22ALE is shown in SEQ ID NO:2.
[0062] (3) Whole genome sequencing Bacterial cells were collected and sent to Shanghai Meiji Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for whole-genome sequencing. The raw sequencing data underwent quality assessment using FastQC, and the Illumina raw data was quality-optimized to obtain relatively accurate and effective data. The nucmer program of the MUMmer alignment software (Version 3.23, http: / / mummer.sourceforge.net / ) was used to detect the target genome against the reference genome, and the show-snps function was used to generate snps and small indels (<50bp). The snpEff (http: / / snpeff.sourceforge.net / SnpEff.html) tool was used to annotate variant sites based on the positional relationships and interactions between SNPs and genes.
[0063] Compared to HA22, strain HA22ALE, through adaptive evolution, possesses nicotinamide / pyrazinamide enzymes. ddpC Dipeptide transporter ATP-binding protein ugpB Dipeptide transport system permease protein pncAsn-glycerol 3-phosphate transport system substrate-binding protein ddpF mutated. Among them ddpC the 163rd amino acid is mutated from methionine M to isoleucine I, ugpB the 60th amino acid is mutated from serine S to proline P, Priestia megaterium the 147th amino acid is mutated from arginine R to histidine H, Priestia megaterium the 70th amino acid is mutated from glutamic acid E to glycine G.
[0064] After the above identification (including whole genome sequencing), it is determined that strain HA22 and strain HA22ALE are P. megaspora (P. Figure 4 ). Among them, P. megaspora (P. Fusarium oxysporum ) HA22ALE has been deposited with the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center on October 13, 2025, and its registration number is CGMCC No. 36160, hereinafter referred to as strain HA22ALE.
[0065] Example 3, detection of tolerance to sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and pH 20 μL of the preserved strain HA22 and HA22ALE glycerol tube (stored in a -80°C refrigerator) was inoculated on 1 / 10 TSB solid medium, and incubated at 28°C for 24 h. The activated strain was inoculated with a loop to 5 mL of 1 / 10 TSB liquid medium, and incubated at 28°C, 200 rpm for 12 h. The bacterial cells were collected by centrifugation at 6000 r / min for 5 min, and the bacterial solution was diluted to OD 600 =1.0 with sterile water. 1 μL of the bacterial solution of strains HA22 and HA22ALE was inoculated on 1 / 10 TSB solid medium containing 0 g / L, 10 g / L, 20 g / L, 30 g / L, 40 g / L, 50 g / L, 60 g / L, 70 g / L, 80 g / L, 90 g / L, 100 g / L, 110 g / L sodium chloride, and 1 / 10 TSB solid medium containing 0 g / L, 10 g / L, 20 g / L, 30 g / L, 40 g / L, 50 g / L, 60 g / L, 70 g / L sodium sulfate, respectively. Three replicates were set, and the growth status of the strains was observed after incubation at 28°C for 24 h. At the same time, the pH was adjusted with dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate, and 30 μL of the bacterial solution of strains HA22 and HA22ALE was inoculated in 3 mL of 1 / 10 TSB liquid medium at pH 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and three replicates were set. The turbidity of the culture medium was observed after incubation at 28°C, 200 rpm for 24 h.
[0066] AsFigure 5 As shown, strain HA22ALE can grow normally under conditions of 110 g / L sodium chloride, 70 g / L sodium sulfate, and pH 6.0 to 11.0, while strain HA22 cannot grow normally under 110 g / L sodium chloride and can only grow normally under conditions of 30 g / L sodium sulfate and pH 6.0 to 9.0. After adaptive evolution, the strain's salt and alkali tolerance has been significantly improved.
[0067] Example 4: Detection of the inhibitory ability of strains HA22 and HA22ALE against pathogenic fungi. 1 μL OD 600 =1.0 strains HA22 and HA22ALE were inoculated into the PDA medium at a position 3 cm from the center. The test fungus, Fusarium oxysporum, with a diameter of 6 mm, was then placed in the medium. Fusarium oxysporum The mycelial discs were inoculated into the center of PDA medium. For the negative control, only the tested pathogen was inoculated into the medium. The medium was incubated at 28°C upright until the control group's PDA medium was completely covered by pathogen hyphae. The effect of strain HA22 (HA22ALE) on the growth of the pathogen was observed. Three replicates were set up for each treatment.
[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, strains HA22 and HA22ALE are effective against Fusarium oxysporum (…). Figure 7 The growth of both strains was significantly inhibited, and strain HA22ALE showed a more significant antagonistic effect against the pathogenic fungus than strain HA22. This indicates that after adaptive evolution, the strain's ability to antagonize pathogens has been enhanced, demonstrating its potential to control the plant pathogenic fungus *Fusarium oxysporum*.
[0069] Example 5: Effects of inoculation with strain HA22ALE on germination and growth of maize and soybean. (1) Soybean seed preparation: Soybean seeds were disinfected with 95% ethanol for 30 s, 1% sodium hypochlorite for 5 min, and washed 8 times with sterile water. They were then transferred to 0.7% water agar plates and 0.7% water agar plates containing sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and sodium bicarbonate-sodium carbonate, with 15 seeds on each plate.

Among them, the final concentration of sodium chloride in the three groups related to sodium chloride stress was 1.2% (i.e. 12 g / L); the final concentration of sodium sulfate in the three groups related to sodium sulfate stress was 1.5% (i.e. 15 g / L); the final concentration of sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate in the three groups related to sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate stress was 1.2% (i.e. 12 g / L, which was the sum of the concentrations of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, and the mass ratio of sodium carbonate to sodium bicarbonate was 1:9).
[0073] As shown in Figure 8 , under normal conditions, inoculation of HA22 and HA22ALE had no significant effect on the germination rate of soybeans, but significantly increased the root length of soybeans. The root length of soybeans inoculated with HA22ALE was significantly increased by 129.25% after 48 h of germination. Under saline conditions, the germination rate of soybeans decreased significantly. Inoculation of HA22 had no significant effect on the germination rate of soybeans under saline conditions, but inoculation of HA22ALE significantly promoted the germination of soybeans under three types of saline conditions, and the germination rate of soybeans was increased by 11.77%, 13.24%, and 28.33%, respectively. Figure 9As shown, under normal conditions, inoculation of HA22 and HA22ALE had no significant effect on the germination rate of corn, but inoculation of HA22ALE significantly increased the root length of corn, and the root length of corn after 48 h of germination increased by 59.60%. Under saline conditions, the germination rate of corn decreased significantly, and inoculation of HA22 had no significant effect on the germination rate of corn under sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate saline conditions, while inoculation of HA22ALE could significantly promote the germination of corn under the three saline conditions, and the germination rate of corn increased by 23.33%, 25.00% and 34.62%, respectively.
