Abstract
Strain Bacillus subtilis T2 is a potential biocontrol agent against a broad-spectrum plant pathogenic fungi and can produce extracellular phytase. To evaluate whether the phytase secreted by T2 can enhance the saline tolerance of plant, mutagenetic program was undertaken for the construction of extracellular phytase derivates. A phytase minus mutant M3 with genetic stability was obtained by means of DES treatment. The results from biochemical experiments revealed that the culture filtrates of wild-type strain T2 with phytase activity and purified phytase stimulated growth of wheat seedlings under phosphate limitation in the presence of 150 mmol L-1 NaCl and phytate. Significant increases in plant height, fresh weight, total leaf chlorophyll content and TTC reducing power and decrease in content of MDA were observed in response to the addition of phytase and culture filtrates of T2 to culture liquids. However, the culture filtrates obtained from phytase-negative mutant strain M3 did not stimulate the growth of wheat seedlings under salt stress. These may provide strong evidence that phytase activity of B. subtilis is important for the increasing resistance of wheat to salt stress under phosphate limitation.
