Abstract/Contents:"Objectives: The overall objective is to develop baseline data concerning bacterial composition (population and density) 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 new project sponsored by the Clemson University Turfgrass Initiative. 3. Document rhizosphere bacterial population dynamics on bentgrass over a four year time period. 4. Construct a data base 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 putting greens management is to understand the bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere of Turfgrasses. Development of a data base on turfgrass rhizobacteria from newly constructed bentgrass putting greens has been initiated. Each quarter, 160 randomly selected bacterial isolates on tryptic soy broth sugar (TSBA) were isolated and are being identified by FAME analyses. Broad classes of rhizobacterial populations were successfully separated on selective media. Preliminary numerical differences of rhizobacterial populations in bentgrass rhizosphere were observed (Figure 1). In the sampels of Dec-1996, isolates identified from bentgrass rhizosphere belonged to 23 genera and 34 species and 76% WERE Gram negative. Acidovorax, Burkholderia, and Pseudomonas were the major genera. However, in the samples of Mar-1997, isolates identified from bentgrass rhizosphere belonged to 25 genera and 40 species and 78% were Gram negative. Pseudomonas, Comanonas, Cytophaga, and Arthrobacter were the major genera."
