| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Microscopic and molecular analyses showed the presence of endobacteria inside the hyphae of randomly selected fungal species. The 16S rRNA gene was successfully amplified with DNA extracted directly from the endobacterium-containing fungal isolates and most of the sequences were related to the family Burkholderiaceae.
Microscopic observation confirmed the presence of rod-shaped, motile bacteria living inside and outside the hyphae of Veronaeopsis simplex all isolates. The PCR results using universal primers for 16S sRNA positively detected the presence of bacteria on V. simplex. Analysis of terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) coupled with the sequence data from 16S rDNA gene cloning revealed that Rhizobium sp. was found to be associated with the fungal isolates. In conclusion the findings suggest that V. simplex has a complex interaction with associated bacteria involving host plant growth promotion effect.
