  • Publication number: 20210214282
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of increasing nitrogen fixation in a non-leguminous plant. The methods can comprise exposing the plant to a plurality of bacteria. Each member of the plurality comprises one or more genetic variations introduced into one or more genes or non-coding polynucleotides of the bacteria's nitrogen fixation or assimilation genetic regulatory network, such that the bacteria are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the presence of exogenous nitrogen. The bacteria are not intergeneric microorganisms. Additionally, the bacteria, in planta, produce 1% or more of the fixed nitrogen in the plant.

  • Publication number: 20210163374
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a bacterial composition, comprising: at least one genetically engineered bacterial strain that fixes atmospheric nitrogen in an agricultural system, wherein the bacterial strain comprises a modification in or one or more genes selected from the group consisting of bcsll, bcslll, yjbE, fhaB, pehA, glgA, otsB, treZ, and cysZ. The present disclosure further provides a bacterial composition and method for increasing the colonization of a plant growth promoting bacterial strain on a plant, wherein the plant growth promoting bacterial strain has been remodeled to increase colonization of said plant, In a further aspect, the present disclosure provides methods of increasing nitrogen or nitrogen fixation available to a plant.
