ABSTRACT

Cereals contain 5-n-alkylresorcinols that are potent antimicrobials. Despite of this fact various bacteria effectively colonize cereals. The aim of this study was to determine whether the tolerance of strain PO150, isolated from wheat rhizosphere, to orcinol could play a role in wheat colonization. The formation of the petite-sized and non-fluorescent colonies of this strain was observed already at a dose of 1.0 mg cm-3 orcinol. Its proliferation, in turn, was completely inhibited by 1.5 mg cm-3 of this phenolic compound. A Tn5 mutant with reduced tolerance to orcinol more weakly colonized both wheat kernels and the 24-h-old germinating seeds than the parent strain. Moreover, both the mutant and wild-type strain adhered more effectively to grains of the cultivar which contained less 5-n-alkylresorcinols. Thus, our results suggest that resistance to wheat seed alkylresorcinols can be important for the early stages of its colonization by this rhizobacteria of the genus Pseudomonas.

Key words: colonization, 5-n-alkylresorcinols, Pseudomonas sp., wheat.
