Diversity of endophytic bacteria in Caragana microphylla grown in the desert grassland of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China

J. X. Dai, Liu, X. M., and Wang, Y. J., Diversity of endophytic bacteria in Caragana microphylla grown in the desert grassland of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region of China, vol. 13, pp. 2349-2358, 2014.

The diversity of endophytic bacteria in the sand-fixation plant Caragana microphylla was investigated by amplified rDNA restriction analysis and by sequence and phylogenetic comparisons of the 16S rRNA genes. A total of 24, 19, and 17 operational taxonomic units were identified from 16S rDNA libraries of the plant roots, stems and leaves, respectively. Homology analysis revealed a 92-100% identity of bacterial 16S rDNA sequences compared with those in the GenBank database.

Diversity and potential application of endophytic bacteria in ginger

T. Chen, Chen, Z., Ma, G. H., Du, B. H., Shen, B., Ding, Y. Q., and Xu, K., Diversity and potential application of endophytic bacteria in ginger, vol. 13, pp. 4918-4931, 2014.

Here, 248 endophytic bacterial strains were isolated to assess the distribution and population diversity of endophytic bacteria in ginger plants. A total of 10.4 x 104 to 20.2 x 104 CFU/g fresh weight endophytic bacteria of different growth stages were isolated. Maximum bacterium numbers were obtained at the seedling stage. A total of 107 functional strains were screened, including 17 antibacterial strains and 90 indole acetic acid-producing strains.

Culture-independent analysis of endophytic bacterial communities associated with Brazilian sugarcane

G. S. Magnani, Cruz, L. M., Weber, H., Bespalhok, J. C., Daros, E., Baura, V., Yates, M. G., Monteiro, R. A., Faoro, H., Pedrosa, F. O., and Souza, E. M., Culture-independent analysis of endophytic bacterial communities associated with Brazilian sugarcane, vol. 12, pp. 4549-4558, 2013.

Sugarcane is an economically important culture in Brazil. Endophytic bacteria live inside plants, and can provide many benefits to the plant host. We analyzed the bacterial diversity of sugarcane cultivar RB-72454 by cultivation-independent techniques. Total DNA from sugarcane stems from a commercial plantation located in Paraná State was extracted. Partial 16S rRNA genes were amplified and sequenced for library construction. Of 152 sequences obtained, 52% were similar to 16S rRNA from Pseudomonas sp, and 35.5% to Enterobacter sp.

Characterization of an endophytic bacterial community associated with Eucalyptus spp

R. E. L. Procópio, Araújo, W. L., Maccheroni, Jr., W., and Azevedo, J. L., Characterization of an endophytic bacterial community associated with Eucalyptus spp, vol. 8, pp. 1408-1422, 2009.

Endophytic bacteria were isolated from stems of Eucalyptus spp (Eucalyptus citriodora, E. grandis, E. urophylla, E. camaldulensis, E. torelliana, E. pellita, and a hybrid of E. grandis and E. urophylla) cultivated at two sites; they were characterized by RAPD and amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA). Endophytic bacteria were more frequently isolated from E. grandis and E. pellita.
