• Planomicrobium chinense is reported as a high concentration diesel degrading strain.
• It was studied for IAA production in increasing concentration of diesel oil.
• It incited activity of ammonia and phosphate solubilization in presence of diesel.
• Biomass of Vigna radiata in contaminated soil increased by inoculating strain in soil.
• Gas chromatography revealed degradation of linear alkanes found in the rhizosphere.
A novel bacterial strain of Planomicrobium chinense (B6) degrading diesel oil [2.5% (v/v)] within 96 h was evaluated for influencing the growth of Vigna radiata under increasing concentrations of diesel from 0.5 to 2.5% (v/v). The strain was investigated for the production of plant growth promoting factors viz., Indole acetic acid, ammonia and phosphate solubilization under the influence of diesel oil. The IAA activity was augmented at 0.75 mM tryptophan and low concentrations of diesel oil [0.5–1.5% (v/v)]. The seeds treated with P. chinense (seed imbibement) as well as by soil inoculation showed significant enhancement of plant biomass and hydrocarbon degradation as compared to control treatment. However, seeds grown on soil previously inoculated with the organism performed better than those applied by seed imbibement. Increase in plant biomass were optimized at low concentrations of diesel oil [0.5–1% (v/v)]. Gas chromatography of the bacterial inoculated soil revealed degradation of most of the linear chain alkanes along with a simultaneous increase in the plant biomass. Production of plant growth promoting factors and increase in plant biomass yield in the presence of diesel oil provides a conception of the efficiency of P. chinense for plant growth promotion activities besides hydrocarbon degradation in diesel contaminated sites.
