| Abstract | Rhizobacteria isolated from the rhizoplane of grasses growing at the Nylsvlei Nature Reserve in South Africa were investigated for growth promotion and root colonization in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) under greenhouse and microplot field conditions. The identities of the isolates were determined by means of 16S rRNA gene sequencing as Bacillus simplex (KBS1F-3), Bacillus megaterium (NAS7-L), Bacillus cereus (KFP9-F) and Paenibacillus alvei (NAS6G-6). The three Bacillus strains were isolated from the perennial grass Themeda triandra while the Paenibacillus strain was isolated from another perennial grass Sporobolus fimbriatus. Enhanced plant shoot and root weight in wheat was achieved by single inoculation with three of the isolates whereas no significant increase was observed in root length. Combined inoculation of Paenibacillus alvei (NAS6G-6) and Bacillus cereus (KFP9-F) on wheat resulted in significant increase in these parameters. Single inoculations of Bacillus simplex (KBS1F-3) and Bacillus cereus (KFP9-F) resulted in significant increase in root and shoots fresh weight, root dry weight and total root length in tomatoes. Indoleacetic acid production, phosphate solubilization and siderophore secretion were studied as possible mechanisms by which the bacterial isolates enhanced plant growth. Root colonization was studied by means of spontaneous rifampicin resistant strains of the wild type isolates. Except for B. megaterium (NAS7-L), the rest of the isolates colonized the roots efficiently resulting in concentrations of 10$^{6}$–10$^{8}$ cfu g$^{−1}$ root. The root colonization of Bacillus simplex (KBS1F-3) and Paenibacillus alvei (NAS6G-6) was visualized by confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM) after successful transformation of the isolates with the pNF8 plasmid carrying the gene for the green fluorescent protein (gfp). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
