CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPERTIES OF CHICKPEA NODULE BACTERIA EXTENDED IN THE STEPPE AND STEPPE ZONES UKRAINE
Journal Title: Сільськогосподарська мікробіологія - Year 2019, Vol 29, Issue
Abstract
Objective. To compare morphological, cultural, physiological, biochemical, and symbiotic properties of strains of nodule chickpea bacteria isolated from different soil and climatic zones of Ukraine. Methods. Microbiological, microscopic, gas-chromatographic, statistical. Results. From the nodules of chickpea plant of varieties Skarb, Admiral, Odissei, Budzhak, Triumf and Pamiat, grown in the steppe zone of Ukraine (Region of Odessa), where an active rhizobia population was formed due to the continuous cultivation of this crop, 58 isolates of bacteria were isolated; 11 isolates were isolated from the nodules of plants of Triumf and Pamiat varieties selected in the forest-steppe zone (Region of Lviv), in the fields where chickpea was grown for the first time. It has been established that the strains of Mesorhizobium sp. 1 and Mesorhizobium sp. 2, which were isolated from the nodules of chickpea plants grown in the fields with an active rhizobia population of this culture, form colonies of 2-4 mm in size at day 3-4 on the mannitol yeast agar and, according to cultural and morphological properties correspond to the characteristics of the species Mesorhizobium ciceri. Their use for pre-sowing chickpea inoculation increases the mass of nodules (2−3 times) and nitrogenase activity (1.4−2 times) compared with the results obtained using the production strain of Mesorhizobium ciceri H-12. Inoculation with Mesorhizobium sp. 11, isolated from the forest-steppe zone, which on a mannitol yeast agar forms a colony of 1−2 mm in size at day 5−6, contributed to a significant increase in the number of nodules on the roots of plants (by 40.5 %), their mass (by 31 %), but the increase in nitrogenase activity was negligible. Conclusion. Strains of Mesorhizobium sp. isolated from chickpea nodules grown in different soil-climatic zones of Ukraine, have similar cell morphology, but differ in growth rate, cultural, physiological, biochemical, and symbiotic properties.
