Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel plant microbiome strains, plants infected with such strains and related methods.
- Microbes represent an invaluable source of novel genes and compounds that have the potential to be utilised in a range of industrial sectors. Scientific literature gives numerous accounts of microbes being the primary source of antibiotics, immune-suppressants, anticancer agents and cholesterol-lowering drugs, in addition to their use in environmental decontamination and in the production of food and cosmetics.
- endophytes A relatively unexplored group of microbes known as endophytes, which reside e.g. in the tissues of living plants, offer a particularly diverse source of novel compounds and genes that may provide important benefits to society, and in particular, agriculture.
- Endophytes may be fungal or bacterial. Endophytes often form mutualistic relationships with their hosts, with the endophyte conferring increased fitness to the host, often through the production of defence compounds. At the same time, the host plant offers the benefits of a protected environment and nutriment to the endophyte.
- the present invention provides a substantially purified or isolated endophyte strain isolated from a plant of the Poaceae family, wherein said endophyte is a strain of Stenotrophomonas rhizophila which provides bioprotection and/or biofertilizer phenotypes to plants into which it is inoculated.
- the Stenotrophomonas rhizophila strain may be strain JB as described herein and as deposited with The National Measurement Institute of 1/153 Bertie Street, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia on 17 th May 2019 with accession number V19/009906.
- endophyte is meant a bacterial or fungal strain that is closely associated with a plant.
- associated with in this context is meant that the bacteria or fungus lives on, in or in close proximity to a plant.
- it may be endophytic, for example living within the internal tissues of a plant, or epiphytic, for example growing externally on a plant.
- the term“substantially purified” is meant that an endophyte is free of other organisms.
- the term includes, for example, an endophyte in axenic culture.
- the endophyte is at least approximately 90% pure, more preferably at least approximately 95% pure, even more preferably at least approximately 98% pure, even more preferably at least approximately 99% pure.
- isolated means that an endophyte is removed from its original environment (e.g. the natural environment if it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally occurring endophyte present in a living plant is not isolated, but the same endophyte separated from some or all of the coexisting materials in the natural system, is isolated.
- bioprotection and/or biofertilizer means that the endophyte possesses genetic and/or metabolic characteristics that result in a beneficial phenotype in a plantharbouring, or otherwise associated with, the endophyte.
- beneficial properties include improved resistance to pests and/or diseases, improved tolerance to water and/or nutrient stress, enhanced biotic stress tolerance, enhanced drought tolerance, enhanced water use efficiency, reduced toxicity and enhanced vigour in the plant with which the endophyte is associated, relative to an organism not harboring the endophyte or harboring a control endophyte such as standard toxic (ST) endophyte.
- ST standard toxic
- the pests and/or diseases may include, but are not limited to, fungal and/or bacterial pathogens, preferably fungal.
- the endophyte may result in the production of the bioprotectant compound in the plant with which it is associated.
- bioprotectant compound is meant as a compound that provides or aids bioprotection to the plant with which it is associated against pests and/or diseases, such as bacterial and/or fungal pathogens.
- a bioprotectant compound may also be known as a‘biocidal compound’.

- the proposed function of cluster 3 is unclear.
- the proposed function of cluster 4 is thought to involve the biosynthesis of an arylpolyene, some of which have antimicrobial activity against fungi.
- Nitrogen (N) is an important nutrient for plant growth and a key component of fertilisers. Plant associated bacteria able to grow under low nitrogen conditions may be useful in plant growth as the bacteria can pass this N onto the plant. This was assessed by using the nitrogen-free NFb medium (Dobereiner 1980).
- NFb medium contains 5g DL- malic acid, 0.5g dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate, 0.2g magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, 0.1g sodium chloride, 0.02g calcium chloride dehydrate, 2ml_ micronutrients solution [0.4g/L copper sulfate pentahydrate, 0.12g/L zinc sulfate heptahydrate, 1.4g/L boric acid, 1 g/L sodium molybdate dehydrate, 1.5g/L manganese(ll) sulfate monohydrate], 1ml_ vitamin solution (0.1g/L biotin, 0.2g/L pyridoxol hydrochloride), 4ml_ iron(lll) EDTA and 2ml_ bromothymol blue (0.5%, dissolved in 0.2N potassium hydroxide).
- NFb medium 15g/L bacteriological agar was added, otherwise 0.5g/L was added for semi-solid medium. The pH of medium was adjusted to 6.8. To detect the nitrogen fixation ability, bacterial strains were inoculated onto solid medium plates. For each inoculation, triplicates were prepared. All NFb medium plates were incubated at 30°C. After 96 hours, the colour change of NFb medium plates was recorded, with development of blue colour an indication of growth under limiting N.
- NfB In the high throughput automated method to detect nitrogen fixation ability semi-solid media NfB was used. Bacterial strains were inoculated into 20ml_ R2B medium (0.5g/L yeast extract, 0.5g/L proteose peptone, 0.5g/L casein hydrolysate, 0.5g/L glucose, 0.5g/L starch, 0.3g/L dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate, 0.024g/L magnesium sulphate and 0.3g/L sodium pyruvate) and incubated at 28°C and 200rpm overnight. The cell pellet was collected by centrifuging at 4000Xg for 3 minutes, and then was twice with 1XPBS to remove the nitrogen residue from R2B.
- 20ml_ R2B medium 0.5g/L yeast extract, 0.5g/L proteose peptone, 0.5g/L casein hydrolysate, 0.5g/L glucose, 0.5g/L starch, 0.3g/L dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphat
- cell pellet was resuspended in 10ml_ semi solid NFb medium.
- 1 mI_ of cell suspension was added to a well containing 199mI_ semi-solid NFb medium on a 96-well cell culture plate.
- cell suspension was added to six consecutive wells of the same column, representing six biological replicates.
- Wells that are located in row A and H, and column 1 and 12 were excluded during the examination due to the edge effect which may lead to unreliable reading.
- the plate was incubated at room temperature for 27 hours, after which the plate was examined by the plate reader by conducting a spectrum scan (300nm-750nm wavelength, 10nm increment). An increase in absorbance represented an increase in growth under low N conditions.
- the Stenotrophomonas rhizophila novel bacterial strain JB was able to grow under low N, as evident from the colour change in the NfB media and elevated absorbance levels at a wavelength of 615 nm ( Figure 6A and 6B).
- Example 6 Genome sequence features supporting the endophytic niche of the Stenotrophomonas rhizophila novel bacterial strain JB
- spermidine is an important polyamine involved in seed and embryo development, regulation of plant growth (particularly roots), and tolerance against drought and salinity (Gill & Tuteja 2010; Hummel et al. 2002; Imai et al. 2004).
- the biosynthesis of spermidine is regulated by spermidine synthases that catalyse the production of spermidine from putrescine and decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (dcSAM).
- dcSAM decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine
- Spermidine synthases have been identified in plant associated bacteria including Stenotrophomonas rhizophila and have been shown to be critical for the plant growth promotion activity of the bacterium (Alavi et al. 2014; Xie et al. 2014).
- the genome sequence of the Stenotrophomonas rhizophila novel bacterial strain JB was analysed and a spermidine synthase gene was identified (Figure 7).
- the gene showed 100% sequence homology to a complementary gene in the genome of the type Stenotrophomonas rhizophila strain DSM 14405 ( Figure 7 - stars), however the surrounding genes showed significant variability including the addition of a hypothetical gene ( Figure 7 - triangle).
- Example 7 In plants inoculations supporting endophytic niche of the Stenotrophomonas rhizophila novel bacterial strain JB
- the seeds were planted into a pot trial, with three replicates (pots) per strain/control, with a randomised design. A total of 20 seeds were planted per pot, to a depth of 1 cm.
- the potting medium contained a mixture of 25% potting mix, 37.5% vermiculite and 37.5% perlite.
- the plants were grown for 5 days and then removed from the pots, washed, assessed for health (i.e. no disease symptoms) and photographed. The lengths of the longest root and the longest shoot were measured. Data was statistically analysed using a t test to detect the presence of any significant difference (p £ 0.05) between treatments using Excel.
