Lycoris radiata is the major source of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, having various medicinal activities. However, the low content of these alkaloids in planta limits their pharmaceutical development and utilization. In this study, the ability of bacterial endophytes to enhance the accumulation of five important Amaryllidaceae alkaloids was investigated. A total of 188 bacterial endophytes were isolated from L. radiata and their composition and diversity were analyzed. Fourteen ones were demonstrated to significantly increase the concentration of the alkaloids of interest in different organs, up to 11.1-fold over the control level, with no adverse influence on the plant growth. An additional 3 bacterial endophytes were found to significantly increase the dry weight of L. radiata with no adverse influence on the concentration of the alkaloids in planta, so the total yield of alkaloids in planta was increased up to 2.4-fold over the control level. Considering the plant growth-promoting abilities of these bacterial endophytes, it is speculated that the indole-3-acetic acid and siderophore secreted by them, combined with their nitrogen fixation ability, may contribute to the enhanced plant growth and the increased alkaloid accumulation in L. radiata. To our knowledge, this work is firstly defining the diversity of culturable bacterial endophytes in L. radiata and determining which species promoted the accumulation of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids. It provides several valuable bacterial inoculants that can be further applied to improve alkaloid production in L. radiata and broadens our understanding of the interactions between a medicinal plant and the bacterial endophytes.
