Root Exudates :Functions in plant-microbe interactionDebayan Nandi
Root exudates are chemicals exuded by plant roots that influence the surrounding soil environment and microbiome. They regulate microbial communities, encourage beneficial symbiotic relationships, and change soil chemical and physical properties. Root exudates are composed of low and high molecular weight compounds, including organic acids, amino acids, sugars, phenolics, proteins, and polysaccharides. They mediate both positive and negative interactions between plant roots and other organisms such as communication between roots and microbes or inhibition of competing plant species. The rate and composition of root exudates can be influenced by microorganisms, soil properties, and plant characteristics.
Phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) such as bacteria and fungi play an important role in solubilizing insoluble phosphate in soil and making it available to plants. PSM secrete organic acids and enzymes that lower soil pH and chelate cations, converting insoluble phosphate into soluble forms that plants can absorb. While phosphorus is essential for plant growth, much of the phosphorus in soil is unavailable to plants; PSM help address phosphorus deficiency by increasing the soluble phosphorus content of soil. Further research is needed to develop methods for commercializing PSM as biofertilizers to provide a more sustainable alternative to inorganic phosphate fertilizers.
Root exudates are chemicals secreted by plant roots into the soil. They perform several important functions, such as regulating soil microbes, encouraging symbiotic relationships, and changing soil chemical and physical properties. Root exudates are categorized as either low or high molecular weight compounds. Low molecular weight exudates like amino acids and organic acids make up most root exudates. Certain exudates play a role in root-microbe communication during processes like nitrogen fixation. The amount and type of root exudates are influenced by numerous plant and environmental factors.

This document summarizes a seminar presentation on the effect of soil management practices on soil enzyme activities. It begins with an introduction to soil enzymes, including their functions, classifications, sources and importance. It then discusses soil enzymes as biological indicators of soil quality. Various methods for measuring enzyme activity are also outlined. The presentation examines the effects of different soil management practices like crop rotation, shifting cultivation, tillage practices and soil amendments on specific soil enzyme activities based on findings from previous studies. Crop rotation was found to influence urease and arylsulphatase activity, while shifting cultivation increased dehydrogenase and urease activity in older jhum fallows due to higher organic matter and nutrients.
This document discusses nitrogen use efficiency in crops. It begins by noting that nitrogen is a limiting nutrient for crop production but is often lost from soils through processes like leaching, denitrification, volatilization, erosion and runoff. Common nitrogen use efficiencies are 30-50%. The document then examines factors influencing nitrogen use efficiency like management practices, environmental conditions and crop characteristics. It concludes by outlining techniques to improve efficiency such as the 4R nutrient stewardship approach of using the right source, right rate, right time and right place of application as well as enhanced efficiency fertilizers.
The document discusses different types of biofertilizers and their production. It describes biofertilizers as microbial inoculants that establish symbiotic relationships with plants to enrich soil nutrients and promote crop growth. Major biofertilizers include rhizobia, azotobacter, algae, and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria. Rhizobium and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are discussed in detail, outlining their role in nitrogen fixation and methods for mass production, including trough, pit and field methods.
The document discusses Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), including their importance and role in agriculture. It defines PGPR, classifies them into two types, and describes their mechanisms of action such as nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, and phytohormone production. The document outlines PGPR's role as phytostimulators, in abiotic stress tolerance, as biofertilizers, and biopesticides. It discusses the commercialization and future research of PGPR to potentially replace chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
The document presents information on phosphate fixation in soils. It discusses how phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant growth but is limited in about 40% of the world's soils due to fixation reactions. These reactions reduce the solubility and availability of phosphorus by adsorbing phosphate ions onto soil particles like iron, aluminum, and calcium compounds. The degree of fixation depends on soil properties like mineral composition, pH, and calcium carbonate content. Phosphate can be temporarily or permanently fixed depending on the reaction conditions, reducing phosphorus efficiency in soils to 10-20%.
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants that exists in soil in various organic and inorganic forms. The processes of mineralization and immobilization control nitrogen availability. Mineralization converts organic nitrogen into plant-available inorganic forms like ammonium and nitrate through aminization, ammonification, and nitrification carried out by soil microbes. Immobilization occurs when carbon-rich residues cause microbes to use inorganic nitrogen, decreasing availability for plants. Maintaining a proper carbon-to-nitrogen ratio in soil is important to promote nitrogen mineralization while avoiding immobilization.
This document discusses plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their ability to solubilize inorganic phosphate. Some key points:
- PGPR are bacteria that live in the rhizosphere and provide benefits to plants. An important function is solubilizing insoluble phosphate minerals making phosphorus available for plant uptake.
- Common insoluble phosphates include tricalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite. Bacteria secrete organic acids like lactic acid and acetic acid to solubilize these minerals.
- Successful phosphate solubilizing bacteria include species from Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Rhizobium genera. Screening methods involve checking for clearing zones
This document discusses the transformation of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur in soils. It describes the key processes involved in each transformation, including mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, immobilization, solubilization, and oxidation/reduction. It notes that microorganisms play a critical role in transforming organic forms of nutrients into plant-available inorganic forms through the secretion of enzymes and organic acids. Specific microbes involved in each transformation are also outlined, such as nitrifying bacteria, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and fungi, potassium solubilizing bacteria, and sulfur oxidizing bacteria.
Soil biota comprises a diverse range of organisms, including microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, and soil fauna like protozoa, nematodes, and earthworms. These organisms interact with each other and their environment in complex soil food webs. They play important roles in nutrient cycling by breaking down organic matter, recycling nutrients, and fixing nitrogen, which contributes to plant growth. Soil microbes also create humus and promote soil structure formation.
PGPR can promote sustainable agriculture in 3 ways:
1. They fix atmospheric nitrogen into a form plants can use through nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium.
2. They solubilize insoluble phosphorus and other nutrients like potassium through organic acid production, making them available to plants.
3. They produce plant hormones like auxins and cytokinins that stimulate plant growth and help plants withstand stresses.
This document discusses the biochemical composition and biodegradation of organic matter in soils. It describes the various components of soil organic matter including nitrogenous and non-nitrogenous organic compounds. It explains the roles of enzymes and microbes like fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes in decomposing different organic compounds such as proteins, cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, and lignin. Finally, it outlines several factors that affect the rate of organic matter decomposition in soils like temperature, moisture, nutrients, pH, texture and toxic elements.
The rhizosphere is the region of soil surrounding plant roots that is influenced by root secretions like mucilage, exudates, and lysates. It contains many microorganisms in complex relationships with the plant roots. Root secretions, collectively known as rhizodeposition, enrich the soil environment and stimulate microbial growth in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil, as measured by the R:S ratio of microorganisms. Rhizodeposition includes a variety of organic compounds that influence soil nutrients and microbes.
Minerals are essential inorganic nutrients that are required for plant and animal growth and development. There are two types of minerals: macronutrients which are needed in large amounts, and micronutrients which are needed in trace amounts. Hydroponics experiments showed that specific mineral salts are required to support plant growth. Minerals play important roles such as being components of biomolecules, providing energy, and activating enzymes. Some minerals like nitrogen must be obtained from the environment through nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form nodules on plant roots and convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. Legumes have a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules to fix nitrogen.
Root exudates are compounds secreted by plant roots into the soil. They include sugars, organic acids, enzymes, amino acids, and other substances. Root exudates influence the soil environment and microbial community in several ways.

ENRICHMENT OF ORES BY MICROORGANISMS- Bioaccumulation and biomineralizationSijo A
Microbial ore leaching (bioleaching) is the process of extracting metals from ores with the use of microorganisms. This method is used to recover many different precious metals like copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, and nickel. Microorganisms are used because they can:
lower the production costs.
cause less environmental pollution in comparison to the traditional leaching methods.
very efficiently extract metals when their concentration in the ore is low.
Bioleaching, or microbial ore leaching, is a process used to extract metals from their ores using bacterial micro-organisms.
The bacteria feed on nutrients in the minerals, causing the metal to separate from its ore.
This document summarizes plant mineral nutrition and the nitrogen cycle. It discusses how plants absorb essential elements and classifies them as macronutrients or micronutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are identified as important macronutrients. The nitrogen cycle is then described, including nitrogen fixation by nitrogen-fixing bacteria through symbiotic root nodules in legumes. The key steps of nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification are outlined.
Bioleaching is a process that uses microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to extract metals from ores. It involves microbes transforming metal compounds into soluble forms that can then be recovered. Some key microbes used are Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans, which produce acids that dissolve metals. Bioleaching is commercially done through methods like slope leaching, heap leaching, and in situ leaching. It provides a cost-effective way to extract low-grade ores and is more environmentally friendly than smelting. However, it is a slower process and requires careful control of temperature, pH, and other environmental factors.
Microbial bioleaching uses microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to extract metals from low-grade ores in an economical way. Bacteria like Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans produce acids that oxidize insoluble metals into soluble forms that can be extracted. Common metals extracted through bioleaching include copper, uranium, gold and nickel. Bioleaching offers advantages over traditional extraction methods by being lower cost, using less energy, and producing fewer emissions. It has been successfully commercialized to extract metals from mining waste and natural low-grade deposits.
Non-symbiotic nitrogen fixation refers to nitrogen fixation by microorganisms that live independently in soil and aquatic environments. Key microorganisms that can fix nitrogen this way include species from the genera Azotobacter, Clostridium, Klebsiella, cyanobacteria, and some fungi. Azotobacter is a common soil bacterium that can fix significant amounts of nitrogen aerobically using the nitrogenase enzyme. Cyanobacteria also fix nitrogen, with some genera like Nostoc forming specialized cells called heterocysts that protect the oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme.

Specific trace elements discussed include zinc, copper, chlorine, molybdenum, cobalt, selenium, iodine, boron, iron, lead, fluorine, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, chromium, and manganese. For each element, sources in soil, chemical forms, plant uptake, functions in plants, deficiency and toxicity symptoms are summarized.
Bioremediation of heavy metals pollution by Udaykumar Pankajkumar BhanushaliUdayBhanushali111
This document summarizes techniques for bioremediating heavy metal pollution using plants (phytoremediation) and microorganisms. It discusses how plants and microbes like bacteria, fungi, and algae can uptake, accumulate, immobilize, or transform heavy metals into less toxic forms. Integrated approaches are also proposed, such as using plants inoculated with metal-resistant endophytic bacteria or combining phytoremediation with microbial remediation. The document provides examples of plant and microbial species effective for remediating various metals like mercury, lead, chromium, and more. It explains the mechanisms by which these living organisms remediate heavy metal contamination in soils and water.
Soil acidity is a major problem in India, affecting 49 million hectares of land. Soil becomes acidic due to excessive leaching of basic ions caused by high rainfall or crop removal, from soils formed on acid parent materials, or from the use of acid-forming fertilizers. The major processes involved in developing acidic soils are laterization under tropical climates, podzolization in humid temperate regions, and leaching of organic matter in heavy rainfall areas. Management of acidic soils requires adding basic amendments like lime to raise the pH.
The document discusses bioremediation as a process that uses microorganisms to remove pollutants from the environment through metabolic processes. It provides an introduction to bioremediation and defines it as using biological organisms like bacteria, fungi and algae to remove environmental pollutants. The document then discusses heavy metals as a type of pollution, sources of heavy metal pollution, and methods to remove heavy metal pollution including bioremediation and phytoremediation using plants.

Calcite-forming bacteria can be used in bioremediation and biocementation. These bacteria form calcite minerals in the presence of calcium ions through metabolic processes like ureolysis, denitrification, and sulfate reduction. This calcite formation can remediate cracks in buildings and sequester carbon dioxide by catalyzing the hydration of CO2 into bicarbonate. The calcite produced by these bacteria can also immobilize heavy metals by incorporating the metals into insoluble forms, providing a method to detoxify environmental heavy metal pollution.
Bioleaching of iron, copper, gold. uraniumAnuKiruthika
This document summarizes the process of bioleaching, which uses microorganisms to extract metals like copper, gold, iron, and uranium from ores. It discusses how different bacteria are used to oxidize the metal sulfides in ores, making the metals soluble and able to be extracted. The main methods used are heap leaching and in-situ leaching. Bioleaching has advantages of being low-cost and able to process low-grade ores, but is also time-consuming. Specific examples of how bacteria aid in leaching copper, iron, gold, and uranium are also provided.

2. Pottasium In soil
• Pottasium is a chemical element with the symbol of K.
• Both N & P are constituents of soil organic matter, but not
pottasium.
• K is important to production of ATP.
• Water uptake by roots and its loss through stomate affected
by pottasium.
3. Potash releasing micro organisms
• Many bacteria such as Acidothiobacillus
ferrooxidans, Paenibacillus spp., Bacillus
mucilaginosus, B. edaphicus, and B.
circulans have capacity to release K.
• Aspergillus niger, Penicillium frequentans and
Cladosporium, were found to grow on muscovite,
biotite, orthoclase microclase and mica in vitro and
also releases K.
4. Mechanism Of K release
• It is generally believed that microorganisms
contribute to the release of K+ from K-bearing
minerals by several mechanisms.
• the major mechanism of K mineral solubilization
is by production the organic and inorganic
acids ,which are able to convert the insoluble K
(mica, muscovite, and biotite feldspar) to soluble
forms of K, easily taking up by the plant.
5. • The types of various organic acids such as oxalic acid,
tartaric acids, gluconic acid, 2-ketogluconic acid, citric
acid, malic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, propionic
acid, glycolic acid, malonic acid, fumaric acid, etc.
which are effective in releasing K from K-bearing
minerals .
• These organic acids produced, enhance the
dissolution of potassium compounds by complexing
Ca2+ ions.
7. Zn in soils
• Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol of Zn.
• The amount of zinc present in the soil depends on the parent
materials of that soil. Sandy and highly leached acid soils generally
have low plant available zinc. Mineral soils have low zinc
availablity.
• Plants take up zinc as the divalent ionic form (Zn2+) and chelated-zinc.
8. Zinc solubilizing micro organisms
• Zn solubilizing microrganisms are capable of solubilizing
insoluble zinc compounds through the production of
gluconic acid
• Inoculation of zinc solubilizing bacteria in soils inherently
along with cheaper insoluble zinc compounds, like ZnO or
ZnCO3, will be useful for enhancing Zn nutrition & alleviation
of Zn deficiency.
• Ex:Bacillus cereus, Bacillus sphaericus, Bacillus subtilis,
Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, Pseudomonas sp
9. Mechanism of Zn solubilization
• Zinc solubilizing microorganisms solubilize zinc through
various mechanisms, one of which is acidification.
• These microbes produce organic acids in soil which sequester
the zinc cations and decrease the pH of the nearby soil.
Moreoverr, the anions can also chelate zinc and enhance zinc
solubility .
• Other mechanisms possibly involved in zinc solubilization
include production of siderophores and proton, oxido-
reductive systems on cell membranes and chelates.
11. Advantages of Zn solubilizing M.O
• Enhance the grain Zn content
• Minimize the adverse effects of Zn deficiency.
• Increase the bioavailability of native and applied zinc
to the plants.
• . Overcome the malnutrition due to the Zn deficiency..
