Abstract: Plant endophytic bacteria play important roles in plants' growth and resistance to stress. It is important to characterize endophytic bacteria to be able to understand their benefits. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has become a powerful technique for bacterial identification due to its high throughput and simple procedures. In this study, the endophytic bacteria separated from Populus (the leaves, roots and stems of Populus tomentosa Carrière; stems of Populus nigra Linn. var. nigra; and stems of Populus canadensis Moench) were identified and classified based on MALDI-TOF MS data and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The sampling and preparation of bacteria were optimized to obtain meaningful protein mass fingerprints. The composite correlation index (CCI) values of the inter-genera and inter-species protein mass fingerprints demonstrated sufficient differences between the strains. In the CCI value matrix for ten species in the same genus, all the CCI values were less than 0.5. Among the species, 95.6% of all the CCI values were less than 0.5. After data processing, the classification capacity of the protein mass fingerprints was verified using inter-specific and inter-generic PCoA. To compare different methods' potential for differentiation and phylogenetic analysis, a dendrogram of the MS profiles and a phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences were constructed using 61 endophytic bacteria found in Populus. The clustering and grouping results show that the phylogenetic analysis based on MALDI-TOF MS is similar to that based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This study provides a valuable reference for differentiating and identifying endophytic bacteria according to their protein mass fingerprints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
