Abstract: Two strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) containing ACC deaminase, A-2 and A-4 were isolated from saline-alkali rhizosphere soil of Avena sativa, based upon their ability to utilize 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) as a sole nitrogen source. Using morphology, physiological biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA analysis, strain A-2 was identified as Enterobacter sp. and A-4 was confirmed as Pseudomonas sp.. The ACC deaminase activity of A-2 and A-4 were (1.89±0.12) μmol α-KA/(mg Pr·h) and (2.63±0.12) μmol α-KA/(mg Pr·h), respectively. When the concentration of L-Trp increased, the IAA synthesis of A-2 increased, while that of A-4 did not change significantly. The ability of A-2 to synthesize siderophore was greater than that of A-4. The height of oat plants treated with A-2 and A-4 were from 12.24 cm up to 13.98 and 14.07 cm, the plant fresh weights were from 34.285 g up to 35.012 and 35.102 g, respectively. The length of roots were from 14.13 cm up to 16.23 and 17.60 cm, and root fresh weights were from 7.790 g up to 8.065 and 8.187 g, respectively. These results suggest that strains A-2 and A-4 contain ACC deaminase that can increase resistance in oat to saline-alkali stress.
