Aluminum-Immobilizing Rhizobacteria Modulate Root Exudation and Nutrient Uptake and Increase Aluminum Tolerance of Pea Mutant E107 (<i>brz</i>)
It is well known that plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) increase the tolerance of plants to abiotic stresses; however, the counteraction of Al toxicity has received little attention. The effects of specially selected Al-tolerant and Al-immobilizing microorganisms were investigated using pea cultivar Sparkle and its Al-sensitive mutant E107 (brz). The strain Cupriavidus sp. D39 was the most-efficient in the growth promotion of hydroponically grown peas treated with 80 µM AlCl3, increasing the plant biomass of Sparkle by 20% and of E107 (brz) by two-times. This strain immobilized Al in the nutrient solution and decreased its concentration in E107 (brz) roots. The mutant showed upregulated exudation of organic acids, amino acids, and sugars in the absence or presence of Al as compared with Sparkle, and in most cases, the Al treatment stimulated exudation. Bacteria utilized root exudates and more actively colonized the root surface of E107 (brz). The exudation of tryptophan and the production of IAA by Cupriavidus sp. D39 in the root zone of the Al-treated mutant were observed. Aluminum disturbed the concentrations of nutrients in plants, but inoculation with Cupriavidus sp. D39 partially restored such negative effects. Thus, the E107 (brz) mutant is a useful tool for studying the mechanisms of plant–microbe interactions, and PGPR plays an important role in protecting plants against Al toxicity
Comparative Study of the Abscisic Acid Metabolism Using Analogue Tritium-Labeled in the Cyclohexene or Side Moiety
© 2020, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Abstract: A procedure was developed for introducing tritium into the side chain of the abscisic acid (ABA) molecule. The reaction was carried out in dioxane in the presence of the Lindlar catalyst. The yield of the labeled product was 70% and the molar radioactivity was 44 Ci/mol. The tritium-labeled abscisic acid analogue was found to be a growth substrate for soil bacteria that incorporate a radioactive label into cellular metabolites. The absorption of the label by bacteria from the side chain of abscisic acid is more than an order of magnitude higher than that for labeling in the cyclohexene moiety. The results indicate the existence of a previously unknown metabolism pathway of ABA in microorganisms
MACROMOLECULAR COMPOUNDS AND POLYMERIC MATERIALS Chemical Structure and Physicochemical Properties of Oxidized Hydrolysis Lignin
Abstract-The structure of hydrolysis lignin oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in acid medium was studied by NMR spectroscopy and by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The sorption, ion-exchange, and surfactant properties of oxidized hydrolysis lignin were studied, and possible application areas of this substance were suggested
