Abstract:We isolated and identified an organophosphatesolubilizing bacterium JYD4 from the rhizosphere of Taxus chinensis var. mairei. Molybdenumantimony antispectrophotometric method was applied to investigate the effects of carbon sources, nitrogen sources and pH environments on organophosphate solubilization capacity. We also detected the effects of temperatures and pH on the phosphatase enzyme activity produced by strain JYD4. The inoculation test in potted seedlings was carried out under the greenhouse. The results showed that: (1) strain JYD4 was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. (2) The ratio of organophosphatesolubilizing circle diameter to colony diameter was 2.01. Organophosphatedissolving ability in liquid medium was 72.38 mg/L. (3) Glucose and beef extract were identified as the optimal carbon source and nitrogen source for organophosphatesolubilizing. The optimal pH was 7.0. (4) Phosphatase produced by S. maltophilia JYD4 mainly located in the cell. The phosphatase could maintain stable activity in a wide temperature range (2065 ℃), only conferred high activity at pH 9.0. (5) S. maltophilia JYD4 was able to improve the seedling height, ground diameter and biomass of the seedlings of T. chinensis var. mairei. The results showed that S. maltophilia JYD4 is a highly effective organophosphatesolubilizing bacterium. It could significantly promote the growth of Taxus chinensis var. mairei. Results in this paper provide excellent strain for the development of microbial fertilizer of T. chinensis var. mairei, and provide theory evidences for the application of S. maltophilia JYD4.
