| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Water yam and lesser yam is able to grow under poor fertile soil conditions unless nitrogen fertilization. However, the source of nutrition in survived both yams was not identified in previous study. From the experiment of isolation and estimation of nitrogen-fixing endophytes bacterium using the acetylene reduction activity test and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, 11 species of nitrogen-fixing endophytes bacteria were found in water yam and lesser yam plants. They have related species of the genera Azospirillum, Bacillus, Cohnella, Devosia, Enterobacto, Klebsiella, Pantoea, Ralstonia, Rhizobium, Shinella and Xanthomonas. And more, individual plants of 19 water yam accessions grown in nutrient-poor subsoil, 19 bacterial genera were isolated from plants. This is first report on nitrogen-fixing endophytes bacteria associated with yams.
