Abstract
-
Paenibacillus polymyxa is a promising plant-growth-promoting
rhizobacterium that associates with a wide range of host
plants, including agronomically important ones. Inoculation
of wheat seedlings with P. polymyxa strains CCM 1465 and
92 was found to increase the mitotic index of the root cells
1.2- and 1.6-fold, respectively. Treatment of seedlings with
the exopolysaccharides (EPSs) of these strains increased the
mitotic index 1.9-fold (P. polymyxa CCM 1465) and 2.8-fold
(P. polymyxa 92). These increases indicate activation of cell
division in the root meristems. Analysis of the morphometric
variables of the seedlings showed that P. polymyxa CCM
1465, P. polymyxa 92, and their EPSs promoted wheat growth,
increasing root and shoot length up to 22% and root and
shoot dry weight up to 28%, as compared with the control.
In addition, both strains were found to intensely colonize the
seedling root surface. Thus, P. polymyxa EPSs are active metabolites
that, along with whole cells, are responsible for the
contact interactions of the bacteria with wheat roots and are
implicated in the induction of plant responses to these interactions.
The strains used in this work are of interest for
further study to broaden the existing understanding of the
mechanisms of plant–bacterial interactions and to develop
effective biofertilizers for agricultural purposes.

Abstract
-
Different species of Paenibacillus are considered to be plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) due to their ability to repress soil borne pathogens, fix atmospheric nitrogen, induce plant resistance to diseases and/or produce plant growth-regulating substances such as auxins. Although it is known that indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the primary naturally occurring auxin excreted by Paenibacillus species, its transport mechanisms (auxin efflux carriers) have not yet been characterized. In this study, the auxin production of P. polymyxa and P. graminis, which are prevalent in the rhizospheres of maize and sorghum sown in Brazil, was evaluated. In addition, the gene encoding the Auxin Efflux Carrier (AEC) protein from P. polymyxa DSM36T was sequenced and used to determine if various strains of P. polymyxa and P. graminis possessed this gene. Each of the 68 P. polymyxa strains evaluated in this study was able to produce IAA, which was produced at concentrations varying from 1 to 17 μg/ml. However, auxin production was not detected in any of the 13 P. graminis strains tested in this study. Different primers were designed for the PCR amplification of the gene coding for the AEC in P. polymyxa, and the predicted protein of 319 aa was homologous to AEC from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, B. licheniformis, and B. subtilis. However, no product was observed when these primers were used to amplify the genomic DNA of seven strains of P. graminis, which suggests that this gene is not present in this species. Moreover, none of the P. graminis genomes tested were homologous to the gene coding for AEC, whereas all of the P. polymyxa genomes evaluated were. This is the first study to demonstrate that the AEC protein is present in P. polymyxa genome.
