Pectic enzymes of Azospirillum brasilense [PDF]

open access: possible, 1991
The production and activity of pectic enzymes elaborated by Azospirillum brasilense (strain C.A. 10), a diazotroph isolated from the rhizosphere of rice (Oryza sativa L.), was studied as this organism is known to enter through the middle lamella to colonize the histosphere of rice roots.

Genetics and molecular biology of Azospirillum

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1999
Genetic manipulation of Azospirillum spp. has facilitated a better understanding of the mode of action of this plant-growth promoting bacterium and should help to improve its ability to stimulate plant growth and development. This review considers and discusses Agospirillum plasmids, promoter sequences, the isolation of Azospirillum mutants, the ...

Azospirillum and Wheat Production

2017
This review aims to elucidate the actual effect of Azospirillum spp. on wheat production under field condition and represent methods by which it can enhance the beneficial effect of Azospirillum on wheat. The bacterial genus Azospirillum is well known as a plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR).

Nif and Nod Genes in Azospirillum

1991
Azospirillum can fix nitrogen under free-living conditions or in association with grasses. Genetics of nitrogen fixation was initiated in A. brasilense Sp7. A 30 kb DNA region containing nifHDK, the structural genes for nitrogenase, nifE, nifUS, and fixABC has been analyzed. DNA regions containing nifA-nifB and ntrC have been cloned.

Mobilization of Cryptic Plasmids in Azospirillum

1988
In order to facilitate the identification and manipulation of plasmids in Azospirillum we attempted to mark them by insertion of the kananycin-resistant transposon TnS. Plasmids pACYC184::Tn5-Mob and pBR322::Tn5 were used to introduce Tn5 into A. brasilense Sp7.

Polysaccharide synthesis in Azospirillum brasilense

1995
The surface of bacteria consists of polysaccharides, like the exopolysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides and, as it is the case for Azospirillum brasilense, glycoproteins like glycosylated flagella. The precursors for the synthesis of polysaccharides are sugarnucleotides.

Crop Responses to Azospirillum Inoculation

1990
Following the first reports of an Azospirillum—plant association over the last decade, there has been considerable interest in the use of Azospirillum species as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in association with the roots of monocotyledonous plants, particularly grasses and grain crops.

Azospirillum as a potential inoculant for agriculture

Trends in Biotechnology, 1985
Abstract Azospirillum sp. contribute to increased yields of cereal and forage grasses by improving root development in properly colonized roots, increasing the rate of water and mineral uptake from the soil, and by biological nitrogen fixation.

Azospirillum: A Biofertilizer for Every Crop

2014
Azospirillum is known for its nitrogen-fixing and phytohormone production ability. It is one of very well-studied plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, at lab scale to field. None of its species or strain is reported as human or plant pathogen. It is considered as safest bacteria which can be used as a biofertilizer at commercial level for several ...
