摘要

Background

Actinobacteria of the genus Streptomyces are recognized as prolific producers of bioactive metabolites capable of regulating plant growth and stress responses. However, isolate-level phytohormone data for Streptomyces griseoviridis, a commercially relevant biocontrol species, remain limited and sometimes contradictory.

Results

A strain of S. griseoviridis was isolated and molecularly characterized. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of its cell-free culture filtrate (CFF) revealed the presence of gibberellic acid (46.68 µg/100 mL), zeatin (18.90 µg/100 mL), indole-3-acetic acid (3.93 µg/100 mL), and abscisic acid (0.38 µg/100 mL), while gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified oleic acid (17.1%) and palmitic acid methyl ester (8.34%) as major metabolites. Seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris and Vicia faba were primed with varying concentrations of CFF. In P. vulgaris, the 25% CFF significantly enhanced germination percentage (GP; 66.7% vs. 60.0% control), germination energy (GE; 56.7 vs. 41.7), germination rate index (GRI; 4.02 vs. 3.11), stem length (20.80 vs. 16.10 cm), and total photosynthetic pigments (3.79 vs. 2.8 mg/g). In V. faba, the 10% CFF proved most effective, achieving 100% GP (control: 98.3%), increasing GE and GRI, reducing mean germination time, and elevating total pigments (3.11 vs. 1.86 mg/g). Regarding soluble metabolites, soluble protein content in P. vulgaris was maximized by the 25% and 50% CFF treatments, reaching 165.4 and 136.8 mg/g dry weight, respectively, compared to 108.9 mg/g in the control, while soluble sugars increased with 10% CFF concentrations. In V. faba, the highest soluble protein concentration (295.4 mg/g) was achieved at 10% CFF (control: 202.1 mg/g), whereas soluble sugars reached a maximum at 100% CFF. Molecular docking revealed compound 2-acetyl-3-(2-cinnamido)ethyl-7-methoxyindole (indole-related) exhibited strong binding to NCED1 (− 7.85 kcal/mol), CCD1 (− 9.21 kcal/mol), starch phosphorylase (− 7.03 kcal/mol), and AGPase (− 6.56 kcal/mol), outperforming controls and fatty acid derivatives.

Conclusion

The culture filtrate of Streptomyces griseoviridis constituted a biologically active signaling pool capable of modulating legume primary metabolism and photosynthetic pigment profiles in a species- and concentration-dependent manner. This study provided novel isolate-level evidence of the hormonal and metabolic effects of S. griseoviridis filtrates and pointed out the potential of plant growth-promoting Streptomyces species as sustainable drivers of crop productivity and food security.
