Abstract
Bacillus subtilis J-15 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria isolated from the soil rhizosphere of cotton and is resistant to cotton verticillium wilt. This study evaluated the effects of metabolites of J-15 (J-15-Ms), including mycosubtilin, on plant growth using Arabidopsis and cotton plants. The results showed that J-15-Ms promoted Arabidopsis seeding growth at lower concentrations of 0.2 μg/mL but inhibited the growth at higher concentrations, such as 20 μg/mL. Similar results were obtained in cotton. Thus, J-15-Ms-treated plants showed low-concentration-induced growth promotion and high-concentration-induced growth inhibition. The J-15-Ms components were analyzed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Correlation analysis using the J-15 genomic databases suggested that J-15 may synthesize indoleacetic acid via the indole-3-pymvate pathway and indole-3-acetamide pathway. Treatment with mycosubtilin, a purified peptide from J-15-Ms, showed that the peptide promoted Arabidopsis growth at a low concentration (0.1 μg/mL) and inhibited plant growth at high concentrations (higher than 1 μg/mL), which also significantly increased plant lateral root number. Transcriptomic analysis showed that mycosubtilin might promote lateral root development and inhibit plant primary root growth by regulating the expression of the plant hormone signaling pathway. This study reveals the mechanism of Bacillus subtilis J-15 in affecting plant growth.
