Hydrophyte root microbiome: a novel reservoir of plant growth-promoting bacteria for enhancing lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) growth and nutritional quality under soilless cultivation.
PubMed · 2026-05-09
Researchers discovered that bacteria living on the roots of water plants like water hyacinth can dramatically boost lettuce growth and nutritional quality in hydroponic and soilless systems — filling a key gap where beneficial soil microbes are normally absent.
1
Bacillus aerius Aq35 increased lettuce root fresh weight by 90% and root surface area by 83.5% in soilless cultivation
2
Aq35 and Aq45 increased lettuce yield by 39.62% and 28.70% respectively, while also improving vitamin C, anthocyanins, and antioxidant capacity
3
Bacterial inoculation raised substrate biological activity, with dehydrogenase activity jumping from 43.40 to 64.65 µg TPF g⁻¹ day⁻¹, signaling a healthier growing medium
