Abstract

Soil salinity and sodicity is a negative stress widely observed for agricultural production in the world. In saline and sodic soils, inter particulate distances increases by enhancing the repulsive forces because of high Na+ ion concentration. As a results, this undesirable situation results in dispersion of the soil, loss of porosity, reduction of water permeability in the soil profile. Besides, the crop production of this soil is very poor because of high pH, exchangeable Na+, deficiency of plant nutrients, high concentration of carbonates and bicarbonates. Considering the big need for the arable lands in the world, the remediation of these soil with effective methods will be the right approach. In this study, it was aimed to isolate and identify the bacteria with carbonate dissolution ability, which had potential to remediate calcerous soils from Dereli/Giresun/Turkey. According to the results, two isolates (Bacillus sp. and Chromohalobacter sp.) were determined that they were capable of CaCO3 dissolution. Only one isolate (Halomonas sp.) exhibited potential of both CaCO3 and MgCO3 dissolution.

Kireçli Toprağı Islah Etme Potansiyeline Sahip Bakterilerin İzolasyonu ve Tanılanması

Abstract

Toprak tuzluluğu ve sodikliği dünyada tarımasal üretim için yaygın gözlemlenen negatif bir strestir. Tuzlu ve sodik topraklarda, yüksek Na+ iyon konsantrasyonu nedeniyle itici güçlerin etkisiyle partiküllerin arasındaki mesafe artar. Sonuç olarak, istenmeyen bu durum toprağın dağılmasına, gözeneklerin kaybolmasına, toprak profilinde su geçirgenliğinin azalmasına neden olur. Ayrıca, topraktaki tarımsal üretim yüksek pH, değişebilir Na+, besin elementlerindeki eksiklik, karbonat ve bikarbonatın yüksek konsantrasyonu nedeniyle çok düşüktür. Dünyada ekilebilir arazilere olan büyük ihtiyaç göz önüne alındığında, bu toprakların etkin yöntemlerle ıslahı doğru bir yaklaşım olacaktır. Bu çalışmada, Dereli/Giresun/Türkiye’den kireçli toprakları ıslah etme potansiyeline sahip olan ve karbonat çözme potansiyeline sahip bakterilerin izolasyonu ve tanılanması amaçlanmıştır. Sonuçlara göre iki izolatın (Bacillus sp. and Chromohalobacter sp.) CaCO3 çözme yeteneğinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sadece bir izolat (Halomonas sp.) hem CaCO3 hem MgCO3 çözme potansiyeli göstermiştir.
