Abstract
Achnatherum inebrians is a perennial grass widely distributed in northwest China. Nearly all wild A. inebrians plants are infected by Epichloë endophytes. In this study, bacteria from the phyllosphere were isolated from leaves of both endophyte-free and endophyte-infected A. inebrians and sequenced for identification. Pseudomonas, comprising 48.12% of the culturable bacterial communities, was the most dominant bacterial genus. Thirty-four strains from 12 Pseudomonas species were used to inoculate A. inebrians seeds and plants. Results indicated that Epichloë significantly increased the diversity and richness index of the phyllosphere. Pseudomonas Sp1, Sp3, Sp5 and Sp7 had a significantly positive effect on plant growth and photosynthesis, whereas Sp10, Sp11 and Sp12 had a significantly negative effect. Whole-genome and pan-genome analysis suggested that the variability in the effects of Pseudomonas on A. inebrians was related to differences in genome composition and genomic islands.
期刊介绍:
The journal is identical in scope to Environmental Microbiology, shares the same editorial team and submission site, and will apply the same high level acceptance criteria. The two journals will be mutually supportive and evolve side-by-side.
Environmental Microbiology Reports provides a high profile vehicle for publication of the most innovative, original and rigorous research in the field. The scope of the Journal encompasses the diversity of current research on microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities, interactions and evolution and includes, but is not limited to, the following:
the structure, activities and communal behaviour of microbial communities
microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes
microbial symbioses, microbial interactions and interactions with plants, animals and abiotic factors
microbes in the tree of life, microbial diversification and evolution
population biology and clonal structure
microbial metabolic and structural diversity
microbial physiology, growth and survival
microbes and surfaces, adhesion and biofouling
responses to environmental signals and stress factors
modelling and theory development
pollution microbiology
extremophiles and life in extreme and unusual little-explored habitats
element cycles and biogeochemical processes, primary and secondary production
microbes in a changing world, microbially-influenced global changes
evolution and diversity of archaeal and bacterial viruses
new technological developments in microbial ecology and evolution, in particular for the study of activities of microbial communities, non-culturable microorganisms and emerging pathogens.
