Endophytic bacteria are microorganisms that live in host plants, but do not cause diseases to the hosts. This study examined the occurrence, distribution, growth-promoting and antifungal activities of endophytes in the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. Six endophytic bacterial strains, which belong to genera of Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Bacillus and Novosphingobium, were isolated from the root of healthy S. miltiorrhiza. Cell suspension (approx. 10⁹ cell · ml⁻¹) of two isolates and cell-free fermentation filtrate of four isolates substantially promoted the growth of hypocotyl and radicle of muskmelon seeds. The cell-free fermentation filtrate of six isolates had no inhibiting effect on tested pathogenic fungi, namely Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum and F. oxysporum. Six compounds were isolated from one of the six endophytic bacteria, namely, Bacillus aryabhattai, and two of these compounds displayed certain antifungal activity against three tested S. miltiorrhiza pathogens. Our work indicates that endophytic bacteria occur in the root of S. miltiorrhiza, and that associated bacterial isolates have growth-promoting effect on muskmelon seeds and are expected to be a potential source for bioactive metabolites.
