Artificial Cyanobacterium-Plant Symbioses

  • Chapter
Cyanobacteria in Symbiosis

4. Conclusion

Studies conducted during the last decade have significantly improved our knowledge of the differrent stages in formation and function of artificial associations involving cyanobacteria and furnished new data on the involvement of satellite bacteria in this process. The strenuous efforts to create artificial associations between important agricultural plants and nitrogen-fixing microorganisms have yielded promising results particularly for introducing heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria into the plant rhizosphere. Important progress has also been made in the induction of root paranodule and colonization of such para-nodules by microsymbionts.

It was demonstrated earlier that modification of the partners in artificial associations are analogous to those occurring in natural symbioses (Gusev and Korzhenevskaya, 1990; Korzhenevskaya et al., 1989, 1993). The data presented in this contribution demonstrate that use of model systems to investigate symbiont interactions in mixed and joint cultures can provide valuable information on the developmental stages and metabolic activities of cyanobacterial-plant symbioses. It seems likely that natural associations also employ the factors that regulate microsymbiont behavior in model systems. Therefore the following aspects should be examined in natural symbioses:

  1. (i)

    the influence of the age of the plant tissue on the formation and taxis of cyanobacterial hormogonia

  2. (ii)

    the influence of the plant tissue on peptidoglycan metabolism and cytokinesis of cyanobacteria

  3. (iii)

    the induction by the plant partner of heteromorphic changes in cyanobacteria that are linked to the transition of vegetative cells to the phases of unbalanced growth and L - transformation

Successful attempts to create artificial associations together with the recent data on interactions between partners suggest that plants and cyanobacteria have genetic potential to form new symbiotic systems, in addition to those found in nature
