چکیده مقاله :
سیانوباکتری‌ها از جمله میکروارگانیسم‌های فتوسنتز کننده گرم منفی می‌باشند. به‌دلیل تنوع بالای ترکیبات شیمیایی از جمله رنگیزه‌ها، ویتامین‌ها و آنزیم‌ها، در این گروه از ریز موجودات، در صنعت دارای کاربرد زیادی می باشند. مطالعات مختلف نشان داده است که سیانوباکتری‌ها می‌توانند سبب بهبود رشد گیاه از طریق اصلاح ساختار خاک، با آزادسازی پلی ساکاریدهای برون سلولی انسجام خاکدانه و نگهداشت آب گردند. تعداد بیشماری از باکتری‌های همزیست گیاهی، اکسین و ترکیبات وابسته به ایندولیک اسید را تولید می‌نمایند. نقش میکروارگانیسم‌های خاکزی به‌عنوان تحریک کننده رشد گیاهی به‌ویژه از طریق تولید هورمون‌های گیاهی ارتقاء دهنده رشد گیاهی در طبیعت بسیار گسترده است. گروه فیتوهورمون اکسینی از جمله گروهی از هورمون‌های گیاهی هستند که در تنظیم پروسه‌های متنوع بیولوژیکی نقش مهمی ایفا می نمایند. هدف از این تحقیق بررسی توان تولید اکسین و برخی رنگیزه‌های فتوسنتزی در سویه‌های هتروسیست دار جدا شده از شالیزارهای شرق استان مازندران می‌باشد. بعد از جمع آوری نمونه خاک و کشت سویه در محیط کشتBG110 ، به‌منظور انجام پروسه خالص سازی کشت مجدد در محیط کشت جامد و مایع انجام گرفت سپس سویه‌ها از لحاظ مورفولوژی شناسایی شدند. نتایج نشان داد که طیف وسیعی از باکتری‌های جدا شده دارای توانایی تولید اکسین به‌عنوان یک فاکتور موثر در بهبود رشد گیاه را دارا می‌باشند و غلظت رنگیزه کلروفیل و کاروتنوئیدها در اکثر سویه‌های جداسازی شده، با میزان متفاوت مشاهده گردید. هر چند پتانسیل هر سویه با توجه به نوع جنس و تنوع اکولوژیکی آن متفاوت می‌باشد. بالاترین میزان تولید کلروفیل، کاروتنوئیدها و اکسین به‌ترتیب در سویه‌های MGCY277 (Lyngbya diguetii)، MGCY497 (Nostoc ellipsosporum) و MGCY358 Anabaena variabilis)) مشاهده گردید.
Cyanobacteria are gram-negative photosynthetic microorganisms. Because they contain a variety of chemical compounds such as pigments, vitamins, and enzymes, theses microorganisms have found many applications in the industry. Several studies have reported that cyanobacteria can improve the plant growth by improving the soil structure as they have potential to secrete extracellular polysaccharides that help in soil aggregation and water retention. Numerous plant-associated bacteria produce auxin and related indolic compounds. The role of microorganisms as plant growth stimulators is widespread in nature, especially in relation to the production of phytohormones. Auxins represent a group of plant hormones that are implicated in the regulation of diverse biological processes. The aim of this research was to study the production capability of auxin and some photosynthesis pigments in heterocystous cyanobacteria serovars isolated from paddy fields in eastern part of Mazandaran. After collecting soil samples, cyanobacteria cultures were cultivated on a typical BG110 medium, for purification purposes, repeated sub-culturing was carried out on solidified and liquid medium before the strains were characterized morphologically. Results indicated that a great range of isolated cyanobacteria had the potential to produce auxin as a main factor for improving plant growth and there were significant differences in the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents; however, potential of each species according to different ecological diversity and genus were different. Maximum chlorophyll, carotenoid, and auxin contents were observed in MGCY277 (Lyngbya diguetii), MGCY497 (Nostoc ellipsosporum), and MGCY358 (A nabaena variabilis) serovars, respectively.
