Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to an engineered strain of *Pseudomonas* that regulates rhizosphere colonization and phosphorus solubilization, its construction method, and its applications. This engineered strain can be applied to multiple crops and soil types, and is particularly suitable for fertilizer reduction and soil ecological restoration in complex environments such as saline-alkali land, acidic soil, facility agriculture soil, and soil with continuous cropping obstacles. It is suitable for planting various crops, including grain crops and specialty cash crops. Background Technology
[0002] Pseudomonas ( Pseudomonas Phosphate-promoting bacteria are widely present in soil, and their rhizosphere colonization ability and phosphorus solubilization function are the core characteristics that enable them to promote growth. In current agricultural production, the excessive application of chemical phosphate fertilizers has led to ecological problems such as soil degradation, desertification, and water pollution. Moreover, the utilization rate of chemical phosphate fertilizers is less than 30%, and a large amount of phosphorus remains in the soil in the form of inorganic and organic insoluble phosphorus, resulting in resource waste.
[0003] In existing technologies, the field application of *Pseudomonas* faces three main problems: First, its environmental adaptability is narrow. In special environments such as the low-temperature, high-salt, and low-oxygen saline-alkali land of the Yellow River Delta, acidic red soil dominated by iron or aluminum phosphate, and facility agricultural soils with high phytate phosphorus, its growth, reproduction, and functional activity are suppressed, and it lacks adaptability to extreme environments such as severe salinity and strong acidity. Second, its functional synergy is poor. Traditional modified strains often exhibit contradictions such as strong colonization but weak phosphorus solubilization or strong phosphorus solubilization but difficult colonization, and most are single-gene modifications that have not achieved the regulation of chemotaxis, attachment, and phosphorus solubilization. Third, most strains are only effective for specific food crops, but have poor adaptability to specialty economic crops such as strawberries, peppers, and cotton. Fourth, conventional constitutive expression vectors and gene overexpression technologies are mostly used, resulting in a heavy metabolic burden on the strains, and the formulation of inoculants is limited, lacking slow-release and multifunctional formulations. Fifth, research on ecological mechanisms is superficial, with only preliminary verification showing no significant differences in microbial diversity, and the synergistic interaction mechanisms between strains and plants and indigenous microorganisms, as well as the molecular regulatory pathways on soil phosphorus cycling, have not been revealed. Furthermore, the existing strains have unclear phosphorus solubilization and colonization mechanisms, lack theoretical support for targeted modification, and have not undergone in-depth long-term ecological safety verification, which limits their large-scale application.
[0004] Therefore, developing an engineered strain of Pseudomonas that possesses broad-spectrum adaptability to extreme environments, multiple phosphorus-solubilizing capabilities, and adaptability to multiple crops, clarifying its molecular-level regulatory mechanisms and ecological interaction pathways, constructing high-barrier gene modification and formulation preparation technologies, and verifying its long-term application safety are key to achieving stable field application of Pseudomonas and promoting the replacement of excessive fertilizer use.

[0063] Example 3: Functional Verification of Engineered Pseudomonas Strains
[0064] (a) Determination of phosphorus solubilization efficiency:
[0065] Three phosphorus source culture media were prepared: tricalcium phosphate (inorganic phosphorus), phytate phosphorus (organic phosphorus), and ferric phosphate (the main phosphorus form in acidic soils). All three phosphorus source culture media used a phosphorus-free basal medium as a base, with different sparingly soluble phosphorus sources added to each. The specific composition of the phosphorus-free basal medium was as follows: Phosphorus-free basal medium: glucose 10g, (NH4)2SO4 0.5g, MgSO4·7H2O 0.3g, KCl 0.3g, FeSO4·7H2O 0.03g, MnSO4·H2O 0.01g, diluted to 1 liter with deionized water, pH 7.0.
[0066] Based on this, the following phosphorus sources were added respectively: ① Tricalcium phosphate (inorganic phosphorus): 5 g / L; ② Phytate phosphorus (organic phosphorus): 3 g / L; ③ Ferric phosphate (the main phosphorus form in acidic soils): 4 g / L. After sterilization, they were ready for use. Seed cultures of engineered Pseudomonas strains, original strains, and knockout strains were inoculated separately (each strain was cultured to OD200 before inoculation). 600 =1.0, centrifuge to collect bacterial cells, resuspend in sterile physiological saline, and adjust the viable count to 1×10. 8 (CFU / mL), the inoculum size is 2% of the liquid culture medium volume.
[0067] Simultaneously, normal conditions (30℃, pH 7.0), severely saline-alkaline conditions (3% NaCl, pH 8.5), strongly acidic conditions (pH 4.0), and low temperature conditions (10℃) were set up. The culture was carried out under normal conditions and under the extreme saline-alkaline and acidic conditions at 30℃ with shaking at 200 rpm for 3 days, and under the low temperature conditions at 10℃ with shaking at 200 rpm for 5 days. The available phosphorus content in the culture medium was determined using the molybdenum antimony colorimetric method. Specific results are shown in Table 1.
[0068] Table 1
[0069]
[0070] (II) Rhizosphere colonization rate determination:
[0071] Grain crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, and tomatoes, and specialty cash crops such as strawberries, peppers, and cotton were selected as test crops. Seed dressing and inoculation (10 8 CFU / granule were planted in conventional phosphorus-deficient soil, saline-alkali soil (2% NaCl, pH 8.5; 4% NaCl, pH 9.0), acidic red soil (pH 4.0), facility soil (agricultural) with 60% phytic acid phosphorus content, and strawberry continuous cropping obstacle soil. The number of colonizing bacteria was counted after 14 days and 60 days of pot cultivation. The specific results are shown in Table 2.
[0072] Table 2
[0073]
[0074] (III) IAA and ACC deaminase activities
[0075] The Salkowski colorimetric method was used to qualitatively and quantitatively detect the indoleacetic acid (IAA) secretion capacity of the strain. The engineered strain and the original strain were inoculated into LB liquid medium containing 0.5 g / L tryptophan and cultured at 30℃ and 200 rpm for 48 h with shaking. The supernatant was then collected by centrifugation and mixed with Salkowski colorimetric solution at a 1:2 ratio, and reacted in the dark for 30 min. The colorimetric results showed that the left blank control group (CK) was pale yellow, while the reaction solutions of the original and engineered Pseudomonas strains were distinctly pink, indicating that the strain can secrete IAA (such as...). Figure 2 (As shown). Quantitative analysis revealed that the IAA yield of the original strain was 18.6 ± 1.2 μg / mL, while the IAA yield of the engineered strain of this invention was 19.2 ± 2.3 μg / mL.
[0076] Meanwhile, the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine method was used to detect the ACC deaminase activity. The bacterial cells were inoculated in an induction medium containing 3 mmol / L ACC and induced at 30℃ for 24 h. After ultrasonic disruption to prepare crude enzyme solution, the amount of α-butanone produced was measured. The amount of enzyme required to catalyze the production of 1 nmol of α-butanone in 1 hour was defined as 1 enzyme activity unit (U). The results showed that the ACC deaminase activity of the original strain was 2.36±0.18 U / mg protein, and the ACC deaminase activity of the Pseudomonas engineered strain was 2.82±0.35 U / mg protein, indicating that the genetic modification did not affect the ability of the original strain to secrete auxin IAA and degrade the plant stress ethylene precursor ACC.

[0125] Example 6 Antibacterial Test
[0126] The in vitro antibacterial activity of the engineered Pseudomonas strain constructed in this invention was determined using the plate confrontation method. The tested pathogen was activated and cultured on PDA plates. A 5 mm diameter mycelial disc was prepared using a sterile punch and inoculated into the center of the plate. The culture was then carried out until the OD (October Observation Time) reached 5%. 600 Engineered Pseudomonas strains with a concentration of 1.0 and original strains (treatment group) were used to create microbial suspensions. 200 μL of bacterial suspension was added to each microbial suspension in equidistantly spaced wells on agar plates using the Oxford cup method. Sterile physiological saline was used as a blank control. After incubation at 28℃ for 72 h, the diameter of the inhibition zone was measured and recorded using the cross-hatching method, and the inhibition rate was calculated. The in vitro antibacterial test data are shown in Table 4.
