| Abstract/Contents: | "Objectives: The overall objective is to develop baseline data concerning bacterial composition (population and diversity) of new USGA bentgrass putting greens after construction. Specific objectives are: 1. Determine bacterial populations associated with new bentgrass putting greens via selective media and identification of bacteria by FAME.; 2. Compare rhizosphere bacterial populations on two different turfgrasses, bentgrass and bermudagrass. The bermudagrass work is part of a Clemson University Turfgrass Initiative project.; 3. Document rhizosphere bacterial population dynamics on bentgrass over a four-year time period.; 4. Construct a database for rhizobacteria diversity of bentgrass. Progress Report: Rhizobacteria are being evaluated for promotion of plant growth and for biological control of weeds, insects, diseases, and nematodes in a number of ecosystems. A critical research need in greens management is to understand the bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere of turfgrasses. A database on turfgrass rhizobacteria from newly constructed bentgrass greens was initiated in Dec-1996. Each quarter, 160 randomly selected bacterial isolates on tryptic soy broth agar (TSBA) were isolated and are being identified by FAME analyses. Broad classes of rhizobacterial populations were successfully separated on selective media. Numerial differents of rhizobacterial populations in bentgrass rhizosphere over ten sampling periods were observed (Figure 1). In the samples of Dec-1996, the major genera from bentgrass isolates belonged to Acidovorax, Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, and Cytophaga. From the beginning of this study, Pseudomonas has been a major genera; however, Bacillus has been a key group only since Jun-1998. The appearance of Bacillus as a major genera after 21 months suggest a shift in carbon sources available for growth of rhizobacteria from bentgrass roots." |
