Definitions
- the invention relates to liquid inoculants. Particularly, the invention relates to a method for improving survival and stability of bacteria of liquid inoculants in pack and when applied to seeds.
- microorganisms are known to have a beneficial effect on plants. These microorganisms include bacteria of the genera Rhizobium (including Bradyrhizobium), Pseudomonas, Serratia, Bacillus (including Paenibacillus), Pasteuria, Azotobacter, Enterobacter, Azospirillum, Methylobacterium, Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), and mycorrhizal fungae.
- Such microorganisms can be introduced to the plants by the use of inoculant compositions.
- the process by which inoculant compositions are created includes the step of fermenting the microorganisms, generally on a nutrient media.
- the inoculant compositions can be applied directly onto seeds of plants or can be applied in furrow immediately prior to the seeds being planted. Inoculation of the seeds or soil with beneficial microorganisms for crop improvement has been practiced for a number of years. However, variable and inconsistent results have often been observed, possibly due to loss of inoculant viability or variability of dosage due to changes in inoculant viability.
- extenders based on sugars or polymers are added when the inoculant is added to the seed, or at the time of sowing. Because the extenders are added after packaging of the inoculant, the extenders have no effect on the survival and stability of the inoculant in pack. [0006] Also, the addition of extenders at the time the inoculant is added to the seed or at the time of sowing is cumbersome and generally must be performed by the end- users of the inoculant (e.g., farmers) in a non-controlled environment (e.g., in a barn or in a farm field). Thus, there is an increased likelihood that the extenders will be improperly applied.
- extenders have also been added to the nutrient medium prior to the fermentation step of creating the liquid inoculant.
- addition of the extenders at an optimal level for on-seed survival, before fermentation inhibits growth of the microorganisms.
- One embodiment of the present invention is a method for preparing a liquid inoculant product containing a desiccant.
- the method includes providing a liquid inoculant of a bacteria grown to a substantially stationary phase.
- a desiccant treatment comprising a desiccant is added to the liquid inoculant to form a partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product is packaged and stored.
- the partially desiccated inoculant is applied to a seed.

- a method for preparing a liquid inoculant of a bacteria includes the addition of a desiccant to the liquid inoculant after the bacteria have been grown to a substantially stationary phase.
- the addition of the desiccant to the inoculant forms a partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the method can provide for increased stability of the bacteria when the partially desiccated inoculant product is "in pack" (i.e., contained in a package) and when the partially desiccated inoculant product is applied onto a seed.
- the increased stability can result in enhanced survival of the bacteria both in pack and on seed.
- Bacteria are introduced to a liquid nutrient media to create a bacterial culture.
- Various bacteria including but not limited to bacteria of the genera Rhizobium (including Bradyrhizobium), Pseudomonas, Serratia, Bacillus (including Paenibacillus), Pasteuria, Azotobacter, Enterobacter, Azospirillum, Methylobacterium, Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), can be introduced to the liquid nutrient media.
- Other microorganisms e.g., mycorrhizal fungae
- mycorrhizal fungae can be introduced to the liquid nutrient media to create the bacterial culture.
- preferred strains include Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Rhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii, Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae and Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli. These bacteria are capable of forming nodules in the roots of species of leguminous plants. Although the following description is mainly directed to Rhizobium inoculant compositions, it will be appreciated that similar principles apply to the use of other microorganisms.
- the liquid nutrient media into which the bacteria are introduced can be any liquid nutrient media known to those skilled in the art to be compatible with the bacteria chosen.
- YMB is a commonly used medium for Rhizobium.
- the composition of YMB is presented in Table 1. Table 1 - Characteristics of YMB
- the bacterial culture can then be incubated (or fermented) to allow the bacteria to grow to a "substantially stationary phase".
- the “substantially stationary phase” is defined to include the culture period from late “log phase” to "stationary phase”.
- the "log phase” is defined as the phase that occurs after the lag phase at the beginning of fermentation and as the phase where nutrients are generally unlimited and where there is generally exponential growth of the bacteria.
- the "stationary phase” is defined as the phase that occurs after the log phase and as the phase in which bacterial growth has essentially ceased. The stationary phase is generally reached when the liquid nutrient media is substantially exhausted.
- the substance containing the bacteria that is incubated to the substantially stationary phase is termed a "liquid inoculant".
- the bacteria incubation period can be between 1 and 15 days. More specifically, the incubation period can be between 2 and 7 days.
- the liquid nutrient media and bacteria can be aerated and maintained at a temperature suitable for growth. Aeration can be performed through the use of a shaking incubator, a fermentation reactor, or other similar means.
- the precise conditions for incubation depend on the type of bacteria and the type of liquid nutrient media used.
- B japonicum can be incubated on a nutrient media in a shaking incubator for about 1 - 10 days at temperatures from about 2O 0 C to about 35 0 C.
- B japonicum is incubated for about 2 - 7 days at about 28°C to allow the bacteria to grow.
- the bacteria count at the substantially stationary phase varies depending on the bacteria.
- bacteria counts in the liquid inoculant from about 1 x 10 9 /ml to about 1 x 10 11 /ml are contemplated. More particularly, the liquid inoculant comprises about 1 x 10 10 /ml. These are exemplary amounts, and as such other amounts are contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention.
- a desiccant treatment containing a desiccant is introduced into the liquid inoculant to create a partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the term "desiccant treatment” means a mixture of a desiccant and a diluting substance, generally water.
- the term “desiccant” means a substance that, when added to water, reduces water activity (which is defined as the partial pressure of water vapour at the surface of the substance divided by saturation pressure). Reduction of water activity to a level less than 0.995 is contemplated to be effective in enhancing in pack survival of the bacteria in the partially desiccated inoculant product. Reduction of water activity to a level less than 0.990, preferably less than about 0.980, is contemplated to be effective in enhancing on seed survival of the bacteria in the partially desiccated inoculant product.
- desiccants can include any compound or mixture of compounds that can be classified as a desiccant regardless of whether the compound or compounds are used in such concentrations that they in fact have a desiccating effect on the liquid inoculant.
- suitable desiccants include one or more of trehalose, sucrose, glycerol, and Methylene glycol.
- Other suitable desiccants include, but are not limited to, non reducing sugars and sugar alcohols (e.g., mannitol).
- the amount of desiccant introduced into the liquid inoculant generally is in a concentration from about 5% to about 50% by weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the desiccant is trehalose
- the desiccant is preferably in a concentration from about 10% to about 40% by weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product. More preferably, the trehalose is in a concentration from about 20% to about 30% by weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the desiccant treatment can include a mixture of more than one desiccant. hi fact, the mixtures can be any combination of two or more desiccants, as desiccant is defined herein.
- the desiccant treatment can include a mixture of trehalose and glycerol, a mixture of trehalose and sucrose, or a mixture of sucrose and Methylene glycol.
- a mixture of trehalose and glycerol can include trehalose in concentrations from about 5% to about 40% by weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product and glycerol in concentrations from about 1% to about 10% by weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product. More particularly, the concentrations of the trehalose and the glycerol in the mixture can be about 20% and about 5% by weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product, respectively.
- the desiccant can be added to the liquid inoculant while the liquid inoculant is still in the vessel used during incubation (e.g., fermentation reactor or shaking incubator). Alternatively, the desiccant can be added to the liquid inoculant during packaging.
- sufficient desiccant is present to at least partially desiccate the bacteria in the partially desiccated inoculant product, thereby: (1) improving the stability and survival of the bacteria in subsequent steps such as packaging and storing, (2) and improving the stability and survival of the bacteria in subsequent steps such as on-seed application of the partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product can then be packaged and stored.
- the packaging can be any standard packaging known in the industry.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product can be packaged in polyethylene bladders.
- the storage conditions can include refrigerated to ambient temperatures and low to moderate relative humidity.
- storage conditions include a temperature below about 35°C and a relative humidity below about 80%.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product can be applied to a variety of seeds.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product can be applied to seeds for leguminous plants.
- Leguminous plants form a large group of plants including vegetables of economic importance such as soybean, lucerne (alfalfa), peanut, peas, beans, and the like.
- the bacteria of the partially desiccated inoculant product can colonize the rhizosphere and/or infect the roots of the plants, as they permeate into the radicular hairs and colonize the root, producing nodules.
- plants can turn gaseous nitrogen into organic compounds of nitrogen through nitrogen fixation. The plants then can use these organic compounds to grow.
- the number of bacteria on a seed at the time the partially desiccated inoculant product is applied to the seed varies.
- the number of bacteria on the seed 10 weeks after the partially desiccated inoculant product is applied can also vary, but it is contemplated that the number should not represent a significant departure from the original amount. In other words, there should not be a sharp decline in bacteria count/seed over time. For example, if the number of bacteria on a seed is at least 6 x 10 5 at the time the partially desiccated inoculant product is applied to the seed, the number of bacteria on the seed after about 10 weeks is preferably at least 1 x 10 5 .
- a polymer can be optionally added to the partially desiccated inoculant product prior to applying the partially desiccated inoculant product to the seed.
- the polymer can be added before the packaging step or after the storing step.
- the polymer can include polyvinyl pyrrolidone, alkylated vinyl pyrrolidone polymers, vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl pyrrolidone and styrene copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol polymers, and other similar polymers.
- the polymer can be in a concentration from about 1% and 25% weight/volume of the partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the addition of the desiccant to the liquid inoculant to create a partially desiccated inoculant product after the bacteria has reached the substantially stationary phase improves stability of bacteria without the necessity of adding an extender at the time of sowing, it does not preclude the use of an extender.
- extenders can be applied to seeds after the partially desiccated inoculant product has been applied to the seed.
- the extender can be added at the time of sowing or at the time of seed application of the partially desiccated inoculant product.
- the extenders can include any commonly used extenders such as those based on sugars, gums, carboxymethyl cellulose, and polymers.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product can be applied to peat, clay and/or other similar dry carriers to form a dry, flowable inoculant formulation.
- the partially desiccated inoculant product can be applied by spraying or other known means.
- Example 1 Evaluation of stability of Bradyrhizobium iaponicum in the presence of trehalose and a glycerol/trehalose mixture
- B japonicum was cultured in shake flasks on a nutrient media for 7 days at 28°C in a shaking incubator to create a 7 day old mature fermentation broth.
- Four treatments (see Table 2) were prepared in 250 ml shake flasks. The treatments were prepared in duplicate, so there was a total of 8 250 ml shake flasks. 50 ml of the seven day old mature fermentation broth was added to each of the shake flasks. The contents of all the flasks were allowed to equilibrate in a shaking incubator for an additional 7 days at 28°C. After equilibrium was attained, one flask from each of the treatments was transferred to static incubation at 28 0 C. The second flask from each of the treatments was transferred to static incubation at 35 0 C.
- Samples were periodically taken from the flasks and total viable plate counts were conducted to assess the number of surviving bacteria. Plate counts were performed by first mixing the sample and then, using a calibrated pipette and sterile tip, removing 1 ml of the sample and placing it into a test tube with 9 ml of reverse osmosis (RO) water, thereby creating a 10 "1 dilution. Then using a 1000 ⁇ L Rainin (calibrated and set to 1000 ⁇ L) and sterile tips, 1000 ⁇ L of the 10 "1 dilution was removed from the 10 "1 dilution test tube and transferred into another test tube containing 9 ml RO water, thereby creating a 10 "2 dilution. These steps were then repeated up to a 10 '7 dilution, noting that the test tubes containing the dilutions were vortexed and flamed between each transfer.
- RO reverse osmosis
- the plates were allowed to dry before inverting them and placing them into an incubator at 28°C for 5 days. After 5 days, the number of colonies were counted under a low power microscope. The total count was calculated by taking the mean x dilution x 100.
- Fig. 1 The results shown in Fig. 1 indicate that at 28 0 C, the 20% trehalose treatment and the 20% trehalose/5% glycerol treatment provide for good survivability of the bacteria in the liquid broth.
- the bacteria count in the control began to decrease some time between about 12 weeks and 16 weeks from the initiation of the experiment.
- the bacteria count in the 20% trehalose treatment and the 20% trehalose/5% glycerol treatment remained at a relatively constant level during that same time period and even after that time period.
- serial dilutions of the suspension were prepared as follows: (1) immediately after shaking the 100 ml bottle, 1 ml of suspended bacteria and diluent was aseptically transferred into a first 9 ml dilution tube of RO water, thereby creating a 10 "1 dilution (2) the 10 "1 dilution was vortexed for 15 seconds, (3) immediately after vortexing, 1 ml of the 10 "1 dilution was transferred into another 9 ml dilution tube of RO water to create a 10 "2 dilution (4) the 10 "2 dilution was then vortexed; (5) steps (3) and (4) were repeated to achieve 10 '3 and 10 "4 dilutions.
- Colony assessment agar plates were then labelled with the details of the dilution tube used, treatment details, and plating date. Duplicate plates were created for each dilution. Prior to taking a sample from the dilution tubes and placing them on the agar plates, the dilutions were vortexed. Then, using standard aseptic pipetting techniques, 100 ⁇ L samples of each of the dilutions were dispensed centrally onto each agar plate. Using a sterile spreader, the samples were spread evenly over the surfaces of the plates. The plates were then incubated for 7 days at 28°C. After incubation, the number of colony forming units (CFU) on each plate were counted and recorded.
- CFU colony forming units
- Fig. 4 The results shown in Fig. 4 indicate that at 28°C, treatments with trehalose concentrations between 10% and 30% weight/volume are optimal for survival of the bacteria in the liquid broth. Fig. 4 also indicates that treatments with sucrose concentrations between 5% and 10% weight/volume are favorable to the survival of the bacteria in the liquid broth, but not to the same extent as the trehalose treatments. Fig. 4 also indicates bacteria can survive treatments with trehalose concentrations at 40%, showing that the bacteria has to the potential to survive in a formulation that is inhibitory to growth of microorganisms.
- Fig. 5 The results shown in Fig. 5 indicate that at 35°C, treatments with trehalose concentrations between 10% and 30% weight/volume are optimal for survival of the bacteria in the liquid broth. Fig. 5 also indicates that treatments with sucrose concentrations at 5% weight/volume are favorable to the survival of the bacteria in the liquid broth, but not to the same extent as the trehalose treatments.
- samples were taken from the treatments listed in Table 4 and applied to soya seed. The seeds were incubated at 22°C. Samples were taken initially, after 6 days on the seed, after 2 weeks on the seed, and after 4 weeks on the seed. From these samples, the number of surviving B japonicum was assessed. The method of assessing on-seed survival was as described above in Example 1. The results of the on-seed survival are shown in Fig. 6.
- Serratia proteomaculans was cultured in a standard microbiological medium (half strength Tryptic soya broth — "TSB”) for 24 hours at 22°C to create a bacterial broth.
- TLB Tryptic soya broth
- a set of flasks was prepared, with each flask in the set corresponding to one of the treatments listed in Table 5. 50 ml of the bacterial broth was added to each of the flasks. All the flasks were allowed to equilibrate for an additional 3 days in a shaking incubator at 22°C. The flasks were then transferred to static incubation at 28°C. Periodically samples were taken and bacterial numbers were assessed by preparing serial dilutions and plating onto a half strength Tryptic soya agar - "TSA".
