- Abstract
Biofilm obtained from Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii inoculated on vegetable seeds has been shown to have plant growth-promoting capacity. Seed inoculation with biofilm produced by this strain could also reduce the adverse effects on plant growth caused by soil or substrate heavy metal overabundance. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of biofilm inoculated on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seeds, which were planted on a substrate with artificially added zinc. First, seeds of the Río Grande tomato variety were exposed to increasing zinc concentrations, namely: 50, 100, 200, and 400 ppm, with and without bacterial biofilm inoculation. Zinc addition and seed inoculation affected germination parameters. For example, an extra 200 and 400 ppm of zinc led to high toxicity. Biofilm inoculation, however, reduced the noxious effects of excess zinc, bringing acute toxicity down to moderate. Then, tomato plants growing from inoculated and non-inoculated seeds were cropped for 4 months in both substrates with 400 ppm zinc and without added zinc. Extra zinc addition significantly (p < 0.05) reduced tomato root and shoot biomass, plant height, and fruit number at harvest time. However, seed biofilm inoculation avoided the harmful effect of zinc on plant growth parameters, fruit yield, and fruit quality. The roots and shoots of plants growing on contaminated substrates showed very noticeable increases in zinc levels compared to the control, while fruits only showed a much weaker zinc gain, even if this was significant (p < 0.05). Moreover, root shoot and fruit concentrations of elements other than zinc, (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, copper, lead, and cadmium) were not or only weakly affected by the addition of this metal to the substrate. In summary, the biofilm of B. subtilis proved to be effective as a bioinoculant to alleviate negative effects on tomatoes cropped in a substrate with excess zinc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over-fertilization and agrochemicals adversely affect soil quality and agricultural ecosystem sustainability. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is ranked as an important crop due to its high profitability and nutritional value. In Argentina, tomato is mainly produced in horticultural belts at peri-urban areas, whose soils frequently are contaminated by heavy metals and/or agrochemicals. To explore safer alternatives, we investigated the effects of seed inoculation with a common plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), i.e., Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii, on development at various growth stages of two tomato varieties, "Platense" and "Río Grande", and on production and fruit quality at harvest time of the "Río Grande" variety. The experimental design consisted of three treatments per variety: a control versus traditional planktonic or biofilm inoculation, with three replicates per treatment. Germination at 10 days and seedling agronomical parameters showed that the response to seed inoculation was superior in the "Río Grande" variety. At harvest time, and irrespective of the inoculant, several agronomical parameters of the "Río Grande" variety were significantly enhanced with respect to the control. The biofilm significantly increased tomato production, as quantified by fruit number and weight, compared to the planktonic inoculum. This case study demonstrates that the incorporation of bio-inoculants is relevant in sustainable agriculture to promote crop growth and quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
[Resumen]La aplicación de bacterias promotoras del crecimiento vegetal, cuyos efectos involucran el mejoramiento de las propiedades fisicoquímicas y la salud del suelo, como así también el crecimiento y la productividad de los cultivos, han tomado gran relevancia debido a ser una práctica más amigable con el ambiente. Hoy en día se presentan como una potente alternativa al uso de pesticidas y fertilizantes de origen químico con el reconocido impacto negativo que estos productos producen en el ambiente. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral fue producir y analizar la eficacia de un biofilm de origen bacteriano como agente promotor del crecimiento en Lactuca sativa y Solanum lycopersicum crecidos en sustratos que asemejan suelos de huertas urbanas y en sustratos contaminados con metales. Fueron evaluadas cepas bacterianas del género Bacillus: B. amylolyticus, B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii, Bacillus subtilis var. natto, B. liquefaciens 235 y B. liquefaciens 157 como “agentes de control biológico” contra los hongos fitopatógenos: Fusarium solani, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium ultimum y Rhizoctonia solani. La bacteria seleccionada fue Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii, la cual en condiciones de laboratorio liberó metabolitos de origen proteico y otros con propiedades biosurfactantes y emulsificantes capaces de desestabilizar las membranas de los microorganismos patógenos. Esta cepa actuó como “biofertilizante”, debido a su capacidad para solubilizar y mineralizar fósforo, pero no presentó actividad fijadora de nitrógeno. Asimismo, resultó ser “fitoestimuladora”, por producir hormonas del tipo ácido indol acético, ácido abscísico y zeatín ribósido. Por ello, B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii se posicionó como una alternativa promisoria para ser utilizada como inoculante de semillas para la promoción del crecimiento vegetal.

This practice has become extremely relevant as it is much more environmentally friendly and an invaluable alternative to the use of pesticides and fertilizers of chemical origin known for their negative impact on the environment. The aim of this doctoral thesis was to produce and analyze the efficacy of a biofilm of bacterial origin as a promoter of plant growth in Lactuca sativa and Solanum lycopersicum grown on substrates that resemble soils of urban gardens and on substrates contaminated with metal. Bacterial strains of the Bacillus genus were evaluated: B. amylolyticus, B. subtilis subsp. spizizeni, Bacillus subtilis var. natto, B. liquefaciens 235 and B. liquefaciens 157 as “biological control agents” against phytopathogenic fungi: Fusarium solani, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium ultimum and Rhizoctonia solani. The selected bacteria was Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii, which under laboratory conditions released protein metabolites and other metabolites with biosurfactant and emulsifying properties capable of desestabilizing the membranes of pathogenic microorganisms. This strain acted as a “biofertilizer”, due to its ability to solubilize and mineralize phosphorus, but it did not show nitrogen-fixing activity. Likewise, it turned out to be a “phytostimulant”, as it produced hormones such as indole acetic acid, abscisic acid and zeatin riboside. Therefore, B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii was positioned as a promising alternative to be used as a seeds inoculant for the promotion of plant growth. Subsequently, the culture conditions were optimized in the laboratory for the bacteria to develop a robust biofilm, to be used as a novel seed inoculation method. For this purpose, complex nitrogenous sources based on peptone and yeast, [Resumo] A aplicación de bacterias que promoven o crecemento das plantas, cuxos efectos implican a mellora das propiedades fisicoquímicas e a saúde do solo, así como o crecemento e a produtividade dos cultivos, tiveron gran relevancia debido a ser unha práctica máis amigable co ambiente.

A bacteria seleccionada foi Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii, que en condicións de laboratorio liberou metabolitos de orixe proteica e outros con propiedades biosurfactantes e emulsionantes capaces de desestabilizar as membranas dos microorganismos patóxenos. Esta cepa actuou como un "biofertilizante", debido á súa capacidade para solubilizar e mineralizar o fósforo, pero non mostrou actividade fixadora de nitróxeno. Do mesmo xeito, resultou ser un "fitoestimulador", xa que produce hormonas como o ácido indol acético, o ácido abscísico e zeatín ribósido. Polo tanto, B. subtilis subsp. spizizenii posicionouse como unha prometedora alternativa para usar como inoculante de sementes para o fomento do crecemento das plantas. Posteriormente, optimizáronse as condicións de cultivo no laboratorio para que a bacteria desenvolva un biofilme robusto, co propósito de usar esta estrutura como un novo

- Abstract
In forest systems, the decomposition of litterfall is the main route of entry of nutrients into the soil and is one of the key points of recycling organic matter and nutrients. The rate at which all plant debris decomposes depends on environmental factors and the material provided by different forest species. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of vegetation cover on biological and biochemical parameters in a soil beneath two native forest species of the Mountain range (Austrocedrus chilensis (Don) Flor. et Boutl.), radal (Lomatia hirsuta Diels.), an exotic European Oak (Quercus robur) and an area adjacent to the forest that has only shrub vegetation. The activity of the enzymes ß-glucosidase, phosphatase, protease and microorganism counts were studied. In the leaf litter of each forest species, the levels of N, P, lignin and cellulose were measured. The results showed that the biological activity was higher in the soil under the forest species than in the area adjacent to the forest. At the same time, the litterfall corresponding to the European oak, presented the lowest contents of recalcitrant substances such as lignin and cellulose and the highest contents of N and P, this would facilitate the activity of soil microorganisms facilitating the decomposition of plant material. It was concluded that from the microbiological point of view the implantation of the species Roble would propitiate a better quality of the forest soil., En los sistemas forestales, la descomposición de la hojarasca es la principal vía de entrada de los nutrientes en el suelo y es uno de los puntos clave del reciclado de la materia orgánica y nutrientes. La tasa a la cual se descomponen todos los restos vegetales depende de factores ambientales y del material aportado por las distintas especies forestales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la cubierta vegetal sobre parámetros biológicos y bioquímicos en un suelo debajo de dos especies forestales nativas ciprés de la Cordillera (Austrocedrus chilensis (Don) Flor. et Boutl.), radal (Lomatia hirsuta Diels.), una especie exótica Roble europeo (Quercus robur) y un área adyacente al bosque que posee sólo vegetación arbustiva. Se estudió la actividad de las enzimas ß-glucosidasa, fosfatasa, proteasa y recuentos de microorganismos. En la hojarasca de cada especie forestal, se midieron los niveles de N, P, lignina y celulosa. Los resultados mostraron que la actividad biológica fue mayor en el suelo bajo las especies forestales que en el área adyacente al bosque. A su vez, la hojarasca que corresponde al roble europeo, presentó los menores contenidos de sustancias recalcitrantes como lignina y celulosa y los mayores contenidos de N y P, esto facilitaría la actividad de los microorganismos del suelo facilitando la descomposición del material vegetal. Se concluyó que desde el punto de vista microbiológico la implantación de la especie Roble propiciaría una mejor calidad del suelo forestal.

En la Patagonia Argentina dado que el 80 por ciento de las hectáreas forestadas corresponden al género Pinus surge la necesidad de diversificar las plantaciones forestales. En el suelo, las propiedades biológicas son, en parte, responsables de los cambios en la calidad del mismo y pueden ser usados como indicadores. La glomalina producida por hongos micorrízicos arbusculares ha tomado relevancia en los últimos años como un nuevo indicador. El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la calidad de un suelo bajo plantaciones de roble europeo (Quercus robur) y de pino radiata (Pinus radiata D. Don) en Chubut, Argentina, a través de indicadores biológicos tales como carbono de respiración y actividades enzimáticas y vincularlos con los niveles de glomalina. Este trabajo permitió mostrar la influencia de las especies forestales en la calidad del suelo ya que los valores hallados de los parámetros evaluados mostraron valores significativamente mayores en el suelo de roble respecto del de pino, lo cual indica una mayor calidad biológica de ese suelo. tbls., grafs.

Biofertilizers can be an alternative to chemical fertilizer as they increase sustainable soil fertility without causing pollution; however, their major problem is the poor survival of the free cells in the soil. A possible solution is the use of cells immobilized in biofilms; it provides a more suitable microenvironment for prolonged cell survival and allows the interaction of the bacterium and its metabolites with the plant. In this work, the planktonic Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii showed a PGPR activity on Lactuca sativa, increasing the weight, 64% the aerial part and 68% the roots growth. This bacterium was able to produce a thick biofilm using glycerol as a sole carbon source. Different culture conditions were evaluated for biofilm production. The shear stress and the oxygenation during bacterial culture affected negatively the biofilm formation; a mechanically disrupted biofilm never recovered its integrity. The optimum temperature for biofilm production was between 30 °C and 37 °C. The presence of different divalent cations salts affected the biofilm formation; 2 mM MgSO
4 and 1 mM FeSO4 in static growth culture increased the biofilm production 36% and 72% respectively, and CoSO4 and CuSO4 affected negatively its formation. The immobilized cells had a PGPR effect; it showed a higher benefit as a biofertilizer than the planktonic form, producing an increment of 39% of the aerial part and 59% the roots growth.

- Abstract
In forest systems, leaf litter is usually the main source of nutrients for the vegetation and microorganisms. Leaf litter composition may vary according to the biomass and quality of the materials produced by different species. Tree roots affect the development and activity of microflora. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of two implanted tree species, with different composition of plant residues, on the soil characteristics. The soil is classified as an Andisol and is located in the Trevelín Forest Station, Chubut, Argentina, Lat. 43° S, Long 71º31' West. The samples were extracted from the surface soil of two forest plots with a dominant species each: Radiata Pine (Pinus radiata D. Don.) and European Oak (Quercus robur). The following analytical determinations were carried out on soil samples: organic carbon, microbial respiration, deshydrogenase activity, microbial count (bacterial communities, amilolytic, actinomyces and fungi) as well as the functional diversity of associated microbial communities. The Shannon-Weaver index (H) was calculated. The soil under Oak trees showed the highest values of microbial respiration, organic carbon and amilolytic and bacterial community counts. No significant differences were found in deshydrogenase activity, actinomyces and fungi counts between species. The principal component analysis showed significant variations in the physiology of microbial communities associated with these two tree species. The microorganism H diversity index was significantly greater for Pine. Plants residues of broadleaf species such as Oak have lower contents of recalcitrant substances than conifer species, and this fact, associated with the higher development of total and amylolytic bacteria, could result in an increase in the decomposition of plant residues in the soil and in higher organic carbon and microbial respiration values.
