Abstract

The biological properties, structural characterization, and performance of Klebsiella variicola GN02 isolated from the roots of P. sinense and embedded in sodium alginate supplemented with 10% sterile skim milk were investigated. The results showed that the immobilized K. variicola GN02 particles were more stable and had a higher survival rate than free bacteria. Infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis showed that immobilized K. variicola GN02 particles had the peaks associated with sodium alginate and K. variicola GN02 cells, indicating that K. variicola GN02 cells were successfully embedded in the sodium alginate. Compared with free bacteria, the immobilized K. variicola GN02 cells revealed slower but a longer growth period during the 40 h culture period. The OD600 and ammonia secretion of immobilized K. variicola GN02 particles were 0.87 and 18.45 mg/L, respectively. A solution incubated with immobilized K. variicola GN02 exhibited a growth-promoting effect on corn than free K. variicola GN02. Root length, plant height, fresh weight, and total nitrogen content of plants subjected to immobilized K. variicola GN02 increased by 15.3, 16.3, 8.9, and 32.3%, respectively. The number of viable K. variicola GN02 in soil also increased significantly to 20.86 × 105 CFU/g. Therefore, immobilized K. variicola GN02 has promising application value, and this study provides a theoretical basis and reference for developing a biological fertilizer with new nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
