It is essential to hunt for new technologies that promote sustainable practices for agroecosystems; thus, the bioprospecting of beneficial microorganisms complementing with mutation induction techniques to improve their genomic, metabolic, and functional traits is a promising strategy for the development of sustainable microbial inoculants. subsp. strain TE3, a previously recognized plant growth-promoting and biological control agent, was subjected to UV mutation induction to improve these agro-biotechnological traits.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of a native bacterial consortium as a bioinoculant to boost crop yield and optimize nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in durum wheat cultivated in Mexico.
  • The inoculation of these bacteria significantly increased grain yield by up to 2.0 tons per hectare compared to non-inoculated controls, demonstrating their effectiveness in enhancing crop productivity while maintaining grain quality.
  • Although no overall improvement in NUE was found at certain nitrogen levels, notable increases in NUE were observed when comparing lower urea applications to full fertilization, highlighting the potential benefits of using bioinoculants.

Strain FSQ1 was isolated from the rhizosphere of the common bean ( L.) crop sampled in a commercial field located in the Gabriel Leyva Solano community, which belongs to the Guasave municipality (state of Sinaloa, Mexico). Based on its full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain FSQ1 was assigned to the genus (100 % similarity).

TE3 is a strictly aerobic and Gram-stain-positive plant growth-promoting bacterium, motile and catalase-positive. In addition, strain TE3 was also recently described as a biological control agent. Here, we present the complete circularized genome of this type strain, as well as a whole genome analysis identifying genes of agricultural interest.

A novel Gram-positive and endospore-forming bacterium assigned as strain SPB7 which is also a new source of a cyclic diketopiperazine (3S,6S)-3,6-diisobutylpiperazine-2,5-dione is described. A polyphasic (biochemical, phenotypic and genotypic) approach was used to clarify the taxonomic affiliation of this strain. The partial and complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SPB7 is a member of the Bacillus genus [showing high similarity (> 98.
