Isolation and Identification of Arthrobacter pascens S17 and Its Ability to Promote Growth of Cucumber
In order to screen out the biocontrol bacteria with growth-promoting effect,soil samples were collected from Hebei,Shandong and other places,and the growth-promoting strains with high-yield IAA ability were isolated and screened,and the potential growth-promoting strains with growth-promoting ability were identified based on morphological characteristics,physiological and biochemical indexes and multi-gene phylogenetic tree analysis,and the growth-promoting effects of growth-promoting strains on cucumber seed germination and cucumber seedlings in pot experiments and field experiments were determined.The results showed that one bacterium,Arthrobacter pascens S17,which had a significant growth-promoting effect on cucumber seedlings,was isolated and identified.Arthrobacter pascens S17 could synthesize IAA in large quantities in DF+medium,and the highest IAA content was 128.54 μg/mL.The growth rate of cucumber seedling plant height and leaf area of cucumber seedlings reached 35.99%and 26.90%by root irrigation treatment with Arthrobacter pascens S17,and the physiological indexes of cucumber seedlings were significantly higher than those of the control.Arthrobacter pascens S17 has a significant effect on cucumber growth,and has a certain development and application prospect.
