| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to verify whether microbes living in plants contribute to the uptake of greenhouse gases, we focused on plant-associated bacteria possessing the ability to consume atmospheric hydrogen (H2), which acts as an indirect greenhouse gas. First, we detected the gene hhyL - encoding the large subunit of high-affinity [NiFe]-hydrogenase - in various plant species, suggesting that high-affinity H2-oxidizing plant-associated bacteria are widely distributed. Among 145 endophytic isolates, 7 Streptomyces strains were shown to possess hhyL gene and exhibit high- or intermediate-affinity uptake activity, reducing H2 concentration to less than ambient level. Inoculation of sterilized seedlings with selected isolates resulted to endophytic colonization visualized by FISH analysis. Cell-specific H2 uptake activity displayed by the plant tissues was comparable to the activity measured in soil, demonstrating the ability of plant-associated streptomycetes to consume atmospheric H2 in situ.
