Investigation of ACC-Deaminase and Indole Acetic Acid Producing Bacteria from Rhizospheric Soils in Ağrı Province

Abstract

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have critical role in promoting plant growth and health with various mechanisms. Production of indole acetic acid (IAA) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity are well-known plant growth promoting (PGP) properties. In the current study; A total of 48 morphologically distinct bacterial colonies were chosen during the isolation of bacteria from various rhizospheric wheat, maize and sainfoin soil samples from agricultural areas in Ağrı-Turkey. The bacteria were isolated from soil samples utilizing by culture-dependent techniques. Then, the strains were visualised for PGP activities such as production acetic acid IAA and ACC deaminase activity. The 16S rRNA sequence similarity of potential PGPR rhizospheric strains demonstrated that strains belong to species Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Microbacterium, Pseudarthrobacter, Arthrobacter and Enterobacter. Totally, 11 of 48 isolates exhibited highly IAA producing and ACC deaminase activity. These results show that IAA producing and ACC deaminase activity of local potential PGPR strains isolated from soil rhizospheric which can appropriate for sustainable agricultural applications in Ağrı province.
