Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria from Dominant Weeds Inhabited in Kaligarang River Delta, Indonesia
Abstract
Delta is a bulk mass of river sediment that encompasses a variety of vegetation and soil microorganisms in beneficial relationships. The Kaligarang river delta in Semarang, Indonesia, has typical weed vegetation of Ageratum conyzoides, Galinsoga parviflora, Eleusine indica, and Kylinnga brevifolia, with impressive growth that may have been encouraged by rhizobacteria. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize rhizobacteria from the aforementioned deltaic weed vegetation, beginning with colony and cell morphology, biochemical and phytohormone analyses, and genotypic analysis of the notable performer. The result displayed distinctive colonies from A. conyzoides and G. parviflora rhizosphere samples with 3 of each. Meanwhile, K. brevifolia and E. indica rhizosphere unveiled 4 and 2 isolates, respectively. Most of the colonies were Gram-positive bacilli with circular or punctiform forms, entire edges, convex elevations, and the potential for catalase, starch hydrolysis, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, potassium solubilization, and auxin production. One of the A. conyzoides isolates achieved full biochemical competence and the highest auxin enhancement during 48 h of incubation without endospores. The sequence homology and phylogenetic tree analyses of the 16S rRNA gene suggested that the colony was B. cereus. The isolate characterization was in line with other research on B. cereus colony features and the tryptophan-dependent indole-3-acetic acid biosynthesis pathway.

Personal statement
My passion for plants and their complex responses to the environment has been a guiding force throughout my academic and research career. The ability of plants to adapt to abiotic stresses, produce invaluable secondary metabolites, and serve as tools for environmental remediation has always fascinated me. This deep interest in plant physiology has driven me to explore innovative approaches to better understand and control these unique properties for both scientific progress and real-world applications. In my current research activities, I am studying salinity tolerance in plants, investigating their physiological and biochemical responses to heavy metal and salinity stresses, and exploring plants potential in phytoremediation of oil and heavy metal contaminated soils. These studies are aimed at addressing pressing global challenges such as environmental pollution and food security. Through this work, I am contributing to understanding how plants adapt to harsh environments and using this knowledge to develop resilient crop species and sustainable solutions for environmental restoration. In addition to these activities, my research has focused on the extraction and purification of secondary metabolites, including anthraquinones, catechins, essential oils, proteins, amino acids, and lipids, from medicinal plants in nature, grown in greenhouse conditions and grown through tissue culture. These compounds, with their therapeutic and industrial applications, underscore the critical role plants play in human health and the economy. My work has involved optimizing extraction protocols, isolating bioactive fractions, and characterizing their biochemical properties, all of which have improved my technical skills and deepened my understanding of plant metabolism. Plant tissue culture and regeneration are other areas where I have made significant contributions. By working on germination and dormancy of seeds, I have explored the mechanisms governing plant development and regeneration. My experience in plant transformation has equipped me with the expertise to introduce novel traits, offering possibilities for improved crop performance and enhanced stress tolerance. These diverse yet interconnected research activities reflect my dedication to unraveling the complexities of plant biology. My academic journey has provided me with a strong foundation in plant physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, as well as a clear understanding of their applications in addressing global challenges. Looking forward, I am excited to build on this foundation by enhancing in creative research that bridges fundamental science and applied solutions. Whether through developing crops that can succed under extreme conditions, discovering new bioactive compounds, or advancing phytoremediation techniques, I am committed to making meaningful contributions to plant science and its potential to transform the world.
