Abstract |
We examined the ability of several Paenibacillus polymyxa strains to colonize wheat roots and the ability of P. polymyxa exoglycans to induce root hair deformation. For the first time, exopolysaccharides isolated from P. polymyxa were found to produce, with different intensities, various morphological changes in the root hairs of wheat seedlings, which are some of the earliest responses of plants to bacteria in the surrounding milieu. P. polymyxa 1465, giving the highest exopolysaccharide yield and the highest viscosity of aqueous exopolysaccharide solutions, was best able to colonize wheat seedling roots, and its exopolysaccharide proved to be the best in producing root hair deformation. It is suggested that P. polymyxa exoglycans have an active role in the establishment of plant-microbe associations. |
