Abstract:In order to obtain high IAA-producing rhizobium strain with antibiotic-resistant of Kanamycin and Ampicillin, the IAA-producing rhizobium strain RS-1 was irradiated by microwave. The mutagenesis parameters were optimized, and the genetic stability, IAA-producing potential and antibiotic resistance of the mutant were investigated by continuous subcultures. Results show that: 5 high IAA-producing strains with two antibiotic-resistant named RSW-14, RSW-55, RSW-62, RSW-96 and RSW-107 were obtained through the microwave irradiating (800W, 6s). Subculture test indicated that RSW-96 had relatively stable hereditary characteristics of IAA-producing capability and antibiotic resistance. It displayed mainly: Upon continuous subculture more than 6 generations, RSW-96 keep the ability of resistance to 300mg/L ampicillin and 80mg/L kanamycin, and the IAA-producing potential reaching 8.38mg/L (4d) and 50.75mg/L (24d) were 40.09% and 50.15% higher than the original strain, respectively. The ratio of promote the biomass increasing rate of RSW-96 were 25.58% higher than the original strain significantly (P<0.05).
