Isolamento e caracterização morfológica de bactérias da rizosfera de sete espécies de bambu do banco ativo de germoplasma da Universidade Federal de Goiás, UFG.

Abstract

Bamboo, known for its rapid growth and versatility, stands out as a plant with significant potential. Its high productivity and easy cultivation make it attractive. When exploring the ecological characteristics of bamboo, it is crucial to examine the rhizosphere, the soil region influenced by roots, where rhizobacteria play a vital role in promoting plant growth and protecting against environmental stresses. This study aimed to isolate and characterize rhizosphere bacteria from bamboo, including the Gram test. From the seven samples, 98 bacterial colonies were isolated, revealing notable diversity in color, elevation, and shape. The predominance of Gram-positive bacteria suggests potential benefits, such as growth promotion. Understanding morphological characteristics not only distinguishes species but also indicates the potential benefits of these rhizobacteria in stimulating growth. These findings provide valuable insights into the ecology of rhizobacteria in bamboo, paving the way for further investigations into their agronomic potential in promoting plant growth.
