The colonization of Hansschlegelia zhihuaiae S113 and its degradation of the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl in the cucumber rhizosphere was investigated. The results reveal that S113 colonized the cucumber roots (2.14 × 10cells per gram of roots) and were able to survive in the rhizosphere (maintained for 20 d). The root exudates promoted colonization on roots and increased the degradation of chlorimuron-ethyl by S113. Five organic acids in cucumber-root exudates were detected and identified by HPLC. Citric acid and fumaric acid significantly stimulated S113 colonization on cucumber roots, with 18.4 and 15.5% increases, respectively, compared with the control. After irrigation with an S113 solution for 10 days, chlorimuron-ethyl could not be detected in the roots, seedlings, or rhizosphere soil, which allowed for improved cucumber growth. Therefore, the degradation mechanism of chlorimuron-ethyl residues by S113 in the rhizosphere could be applied in situ for the bioremediation of chlorimuron-ethyl contaminated soil to ensure crop safety.

Members of species are able to enhance the level of available phosphorus (P) for plant absorption through mechanisms of P solubilization and mineralization. In our study, PE7 showed P-solubilizing activity in simple phosphate broth (SPB) medium, and acetic acid, iso-butyric acid, and iso-valeric acid were major organic acids responsible for the increase in soluble P and decrease in pH of SPB medium. In addition, strain PE7 released phytase on phytase-screening agar (PSA) medium, and analysis of semi-quantitative reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (sqRT-PCR) revealed that the gene expression was the highest at 1 day after incubation.

Drought limits crop growth and yield. Inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) emerges as a promising strategy to protect crops against drought. However, the number of drought-tolerant PGPR is limited, and the regulation mechanisms remain elusive.

Plant diseases caused by soil-borne fungi and oomycetes significantly reduce yield and quality of many crops in the agricultural systems and are difficult to control. We herein examine HAI-0804, a bacterial biological control agent that was originally developed for control of bacterial diseases on the surface of vegetables, and assessed its efficacy at controlling soil-borne diseases caused by oomycetes. Strain HAI-0804 did not exhibit detectable antibiotic activity toward , a causal agent of damping-off and root rot; however, it effectively protected against damping-off and root rot in cucumber.

Chemotaxis has an essential function in flagellar bacteria that allows them to sense and respond to specific environmental signals, enabling their survival and colonization. Vibrio splendidus is an important opportunistic pathogen that infects a wide range of hosts including fish, bivalve, and sea cucumber. Our study demonstrated that V.
