Compatibility Test of Fluorescent Pseudomonad Isolated from Plant Rhizosphere

Abstract

Fluorescent pseudomonads are a group of plant rhizosphere bacteria capable of producing antimicrobial compounds in the form of siderophores, HCN, decomposing phosphates and producing growth hormone Indole Acetic Acid (IAA). Fluorescent pseudomonads have various potentials as agents for controlling disease and increasing plant growth. Therefore, to maximize the potential of fluorescent pseudomonads, it is necessary to test compatible with each other. The aim of this study was to obtain compatible fluorescent pseudomonad isolates. This research is a descriptive study that informs the compatibility of fluorescent pseudomonad isolates isolated from plant rhizosphere. Compatibility test was carried out between the isolated fluorescent pseudomonad isolates. The results of this study obtained 6 combinations of compatible isolates: Pf1 x Pf8; Pf1 x Pf10; Pf7 x Pf9; Pf7 x Pf10; Pf8 x Pf9; and Pf9 x Pf10.
