Maximizing wheat yield through soil quality enhancement: A combined approach with Azospirillum brasilense and bentonite

Plant Stress
Maintaining soil fertility to obtain higher crop production is essential for food security and sustainability. Soil amendments not only improve soil fertility but also enhance plant growth.

Plasmid transformation ofAzospirillum brasilense [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1986
Plasmid transformation of the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azospirillum brasilense is described. A modification of the method of Hanahan [1] was used to transform this bacterium with the 20-kb plasmid pRK290. The efficiency of transformation ranged from 200–1000 transformants per μg of plasmid DNA according to DNA concentration.

Aerotactic response of Azospirillum brasilense [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1982
Five strains of Azospirillum brasilense and two of Azospirillum spp., from Israel, responded to self-created and preformed oxygen gradients by forming aerotactic bands in capillary tubes and actively moving toward a specific zone with low dissolved oxygen.

Fructose catabolism in Azospirillum brasilense and Azospirillum lipoferum [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1984
The pathways for catabolism of fructose were investigated in the type strains of Azospirillum lipoferum and Azospirillum brasilense grown aerobically with (NH4)2SO4 as the nitrogen source. When grown on fructose, the former species possessed a complete Entner-Doudoroff pathway, whereas the latter species lacked activity for glucose-6-phosphate ...

Intermediary carbon metabolism of Azospirillum brasilense [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1984
Azospirillum brasilense Sp 7 grew rapidly in AZO medium containing reduced nitrogen and succinate as an energy source, with a doubling time of 43 min. No growth was measured with glucose as the sole carbon source. In contrast, Azospirillum lipoferum Sp 59b could grow in media containing either succinate or glucose with a doubling time of 69 min and 223

Regulation of nitrogen fixation in Azospirillum brasilense [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
The regulation of nitrogen fixation in Azospirillum brasilense is very complicated, and it responds to exogenous fixed nitrogen or a change of oxygen concentration. This regulation occurs at both transcriptional and posttranslational levels. Unlike regulation seen in Klebsiella pneumoniae, transcription of nifA does not require NTRB/NTRC in A ...

The random walk ofAzospirillum brasilense [PDF]

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2010
The bacterium Azospirillum brasilense has been frequently studied in laboratory experiments. It performs movements in space where long forward and backward runs on a straight line occur simultaneously with slow changes of direction of the line. A model is presented in which a correlated random walk on a line is joined to diffusion on a sphere of ...

Modeling aerotaxis band formation in Azospirillum brasilense [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Bacterial chemotaxis, the ability of motile bacteria to navigate gradients of chemicals, plays key roles in the establishment of various plant-microbe associations, including those that benefit plant growth and crop productivity. The motile soil bacterium Azospirillum brasilense colonizes the rhizosphere and promotes the growth of diverse plants across

EVALUATION OF Azospirillum brasilense DOSE RESPONSE ON FRESH AND DRY MATTER OF SHOOT AND ROOT OF CORN PLANTS

Revista de Agricultura Neotropical, 2022
Zea mays (corn) is one of the leading crops focused on producing food and feed for humans and animals. The use of diazotrophic bacteria such as Azospirillum brasilense demonstrates a positive effect on nitrogen availability, a primordial element for the

Co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium spp. and Azospirillum brasilense in cowpea under salt stress [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2022
Plants grown under salinity are subject to many morphological and physiological disorders. In this context, practices that can enable the use of saline water are essential.
