Screening and Functional Evaluation of Salt Tolerant and Growth Promoting Strains in Saline Alkali Land of the Yellow River Delta
By screening the rhizosphere soil of plants in the saline alkali land of the Yellow River Delta,47 salt tolerant strains are obtained and of which 9 strains have a promoting effect on growth.By combining the abilities of acid production,alkali resistance,and tolerance to different saline alkali soils,one salt tolerant strain GJY-3 is finally obtained.The tolerance of GJY-3 in chloride soil,sulfate soil and bicarbonate soil is 5%,5%,and 1%,respectively.The acid-base tolerance range is 3.15-10.5,the inorganic phosphorus dissolution amount is 16.71 mg/L,and the synthesis ability of indoleacetic acid is 31.33 mg/L.The strain also has nitrogen fixation and potassium solubilization functions.Through physiological and biochemical analysis and 16s rDNA identification,the strain is identified as Bacillus licheniformis.The pot experiment show that GJY-3 has a better promoting effect on growth in sodium chloride saline alkali soil than in sodium sulfate saline alkali soil.The yield of pakchoi and the activities of soil urease,sucrase,and catalase increased by 17.54%,91.59%,32.24%,and 5.11%,respectively.The experimental results indicate that GJY-3 can be used as a strain for improving saline alkali soil.
