Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Microbial Oxidative Enzymes

Abstract

Plants are stationary and are incapable of evading exposure to pathogens, parasites, and abiotic factors, viz. flooding, drought, temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, nutrient deficiency, and so on. Plant growth and its development directly influence the production as well as the quality of the crop. When plants are healthy, they yield more and if they are stressed, the yield decreases. Reactive oxygen species are the molecules that are produced during cellular metabolism and they have toxic effects on plants. When plants are subjected to various biotic and abiotic stresses, they imbalance the homeostasis and ion distribution in plant cells, leading to cellular injury, which affects the growth process of the plant. Since oxidative enzymes can catalyze a broad range of reactions, they have many industrial applications including in food sectors, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and environmental pollution control. However, several study revealed that microbial oxidative enzymes also play a significant role in agriculture to promote plant growth and control the plant pathogens. Most of the oxidative enzymes are obtained from fungi but recently it has been seen that certain bacterial genera, including Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Actinobacteria, and Actinomycetes, also produce a wide range of oxidative enzymes. Catalase, aldehyde oxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase are some bacterial oxidative enzymes that confirm their potential role amongst plant communities. It has been reported that the various oxidative enzymes significantly increase the yield of crops by decreasing the disease rate in plants and protecting them against various biotic stresses. The various oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes secreted by microbes aid the solubility and absorption of organic matter in soil by plants and improve their growth and development. “plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria“ are bacterial communities associated with the plant rhizosphere and enhance the growth and development of the plants by various biochemical and molecular mechanisms.
