Abstract

Wheatgrass juice contains diverse nutrient-rich compounds, particularly chlorophyll, making it valuable as a remedy for conditions related to hemoglobin deficiency. There has been reported that plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are able to increase the production of active compounds in plants as well as improve plant growth. Therefore, PGPB may serve as an option for improving nutritional value of wheatgrass juice.  In order to test such ability of PGPB, 8 isolates of Bacillus spp. were selected for evaluation, which was divided into 3 parts, which included 1) evaluating their abilities to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), solubilize phosphate and fix nitrogen 2) testing their effects on germination and seed vigor, and 3) testing their growth and quality promoting effects on wheat seedlings, following soaking or soil application. It was found that soaking seeds in bacterial suspension had no effect on germination rate and seed vigor as well as has no effect on seedling growth and quality of wheatgrass.  However, applying bacterial suspension to soil resulted in improved shoot length and fresh weight though quality of wheatgrass remained unaffected. It was also notable that bacterial potentiality to improve growth of wheat seedling may be related to the level of IAA that bacteria could produce. This work suggested that certain Bacillus spp. isolates, such as isolate B07, had potential to help improving growth and quality of wheatgrass. However, further research is required in order to develop suitable technique for the application of these Bacillus spp. to make them more effective in the future.
