| description | Bryophytes are non-vascular plants with dominant gametophyte stage that play vital ecological roles in natural ecosystems. Unfortunately, their populations are currently in decline due to habitat destruction and various anthropogenic activities. The conservation efforts for bryophytes are hampered by their slow growth rates. This study aims to investigate the potential of actinobacteria to promote the growth of bryophytes. In this study, three plant growth-promoting actinobacteria, Dermacoccus abyssi MT1.1T, Micromonospora chalcea CMU55-4 and Streptomyces thermocarboxydus S3 were cultured in International Streptomyces Project medium 2 (ISP2) broth to obtain culture filtrates containing bioactive compounds for enhancing the growth of two bryophyte species, Physcomotrium sphaericum (C. Ludw.) Fürnr and Sphagnum cuspidatulum C. Müll. Interestingly, the incorporation of actinobacterial culture filtrates into 1/16 Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium yielded superior growth performance of P. sphaericum (C. Ludw.) Fürnr and S. cuspidatulum C. Müll, as observed from the thallus height, fresh weight, total chlorophyll contents, and total carotenoid contents compared to control groups. In addition, the inoculation of M. chalcea CMU55-4 on S. cuspidatulum C. Müll grown in sterile peat moss demonstrated the highest values for thallus height, fresh weight, dry weight, total chlorophyll content, and total carotenoid content. All actinobacteria successfully colonized the moss seedlings without any observable negative impacts, indicating beneficial interactions between actinobacteria and bryophytes. This research sheds light on the potential of harnessing plant beneficial actinobacteria to enhance the growth of bryophytes for conservation purposes. |
