The endophytic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus colonizes a broad range of host plants. Its plant growth-promoting capability is related to the capacity to perform biological nitrogen fixation, the biosynthesis of siderophores, antimicrobial substances and the solubilization of mineral nutrients. Colonization of and survival in these endophytic niche requires a complex regulatory network. Among these, quorum sensing systems (QS) are signaling mechanisms involved in the control of several genes related to microbial interactions, host colonization and stress survival. G. diazotrophicus PAL5 possesses a QS composed of a luxR and a luxI homolog, and produces eight molecules from the AHL family as QS signals. In this report data are provided showing that glucose concentration modifies the relative levels of these signal molecules. The activity of G. diazotrophicus PAL5 QS is also altered in presence of other carbon sources and under saline stress conditions. Inactivation of the QS system of G. diazotrophicus PAL5 by means of a quorum quenching strategy allowed the identification of extracellular and intracellular proteins under the control of this regulatory mechanism.

is a diazotrophic endophytic bacterium that promotes the growth and development of several plant species. However, the molecular mechanisms activated during plant response to this bacterium remain unclear. Here, we used the RNA-seq approach to understand better the effect of PAL5 on the transcriptome of shoot and root tissues of .

Endophytic diazotrophic plant growth-promoting bacteria Herbaspirillum rubrisubalbicans (HCC103), Herbaspirillum seropedicae (HRC54), Paraburkholderia tropica (Ppe8), Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (Pal5), and Nitrospirillum amazonense (CBAmC) have been used as inoculants for sugarcane. The genome sequences of these strains were used to design a set of specific primers for the real-time PCR (qPCR) assay. Primer specificity was confirmed by conventional PCR using the genomic DNAs of 25 related bacterial species and the five target strains.

As agricultural practices become more sustainable, adopting more sustainable practices will become even more relevant. Searching for alternatives to chemical compounds has been the focus of numerous studies, and bacteriocins are tools with intrinsic biotechnological potential for controlling plant diseases. We continued to explore the biotechnological activity of the bacteriocin Gluconacin from , PAL5 strain, by investigating this protein's antagonism against important tomato phytopathogens and demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing bacterial spots caused by .

An inoculant containing selected bacterial strains can be easily applied during the nursery please process, but in this case, substrate composition can affect its survival and, in consequence, bacterial colonization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of five diazotrophic bacterial strains/species applied individually on 13 different substrates used in sugarcane seedling nurseries considering an active population higher than 10 cells g. In addition, one experiment was performed using two commercial substrates, coconut fiber, and Multiplant™, inoculated or not with a mixture of five bacterial strains to evaluate plant growth after 30 days.

The use of multispecies bacterial bio-inputs is a promising strategy for sustainable crop production over the use of single-species inoculants. Studies of the use of multispecies bio-inputs in horticultural crops are scarce, not only on the growth-promoting effects of each bacterium within the formulation, but also on their compatibility and persistence in the root environment. In this work, we described that a multispecies bacterial bio-input made up of Az39, PAL-5, Pf-5 and sp.
