Abstract

To visualize simultaneously different populations of pseu-domonads in the rhizosphere at the single cell level in a noninvasive way, a set of four rhizosphere-stable plasmids was constructed expressing three different derivatives of the green fluorescent protein (GFP), namely enhanced cyan (ECFP), enhanced green (EGFP), enhanced yellow (EYFP), and the recently published red fluorescent protein (RFP; DsRed). Upon tomato seedling inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 populations, each expressing a different autofluorescent protein followed by plant growth for 5 days, the rhizosphere was inspected using confocal laser scanning microscopy. We were able to visualize simultaneously and clearly distinguish from each other up to three different bacterial populations. Micro-colonies consisting of mixed populations were frequently observed at the base of the root system, whereas micro-colonies further toward the root tip predominantly consisted of a single population, suggesting a dynamic behavior of microcolonies over time. Since the cloning vector pME6010 has a broad host range for gram-negative bacteria, the constructed plasmids can be used for many purposes. In particular, they will be of great value for the analysis of microbial communities, for example in processes such as biocontrol, biofertilization, biostimulation, competition for niches, colonization, and biofilm formation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
