Triagem de potencialidades biotecnólogicas de bactérias endofíticas isoladas de folhas Gossypium hirsutum L

Resumo

Gossypium hirsutum L. consists in the most cultivated cotton species worldwide, exhibiting significative historical and economical importance, mainly in the American continent. Beyond common plagues that widely affect cotton, it is known that the plant exhibits a diverse symbiotic microbial community. Endophytic microorganisms are defined as those that spend part or the entire life period colonizing asymptotically plant tissues and, by several mechanisms, can promote the host growth and participate in its protection against pathogens. The aim of the actual work was the isolation and qualitative evaluation of various biotechnological potentialities of endophytic bacteria isolates from cotton leaves. Nine bacterial morphotypes were isolated, with 77,7% exhibiting positivity for at least one of the screening tests. The same percentage of isolates (77,7%) was capable to produce indole-acetic-acid (IAA), 66,6% solubilized phosphate and 55,5% grew in a free-nitrogen medium. Two isolates, AL1 and AL8, generated extracellularly exoenzymes and only one morphotype, AL1, was able to inhibit the growth of one of the applied bacterial standard strains. The results are promising for the conduction of future studies that will consolidate these possible applications of the endophytic bacteria from cotton under the most different areas in the biotechnological field.
