Abstract

Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is an
endophyte of sugarcane that produces high quantities of fixed
nitrogen and plant growth regulating substances. These
capacities are very important for the improvement of sugarcane
crop. In this work, the interactions between this species and
endophytic microbial community members were demonstrated.
Different interactions are present in the microbial endophytic
community. Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus inhibits the
growth of some species and it is also stimulated by others.
These relationships are influenced by their strain and growth
time. The relationships between Gluconacetobacter
diazotrophicus and other members of the microbial endophytic
community could contribute to enhance their effect on this
important graminaceous crop.
