Effect of Azotobacter in Association with Other Nutrient Sources on Soil Properties in Maize (Zea mays) Field of Nawalpur, Nepal

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology
The modern intensive agriculture system relies on the heavy use of chemical fertilizers for food production, neglecting the health of the soil. To explore the alternative nutrient source provided by Azotobacter, a free-living nitrogen-fixing bio ...

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Evidence That the P\u3csub\u3ei\u3c/sub\u3e Release Event Is the Rate-Limiting Step in the Nitrogenase Catalytic Cycle [PDF]

, 2016
Nitrogenase reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3) involves a sequence of events that occur upon the transient association of the reduced Fe protein containing two ATP molecules with the MoFe protein that includes electron transfer, ATP hydrolysis,

Plant growth promoting bacteria effects on growth, photosynthetic pigments and root nutrients uptake of Avena sativa L. under drought stress [PDF]

Desert, 2017
Drought stress is one of the most important factors affecting plant growth. Plant growth under drought stress may be enhanced by the application of microbial inoculation including plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

A first characterization of the leaflet endophytic prokaryotic community in Dioon cycads

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first characterization of leaflet endophytic prokaryotic communities in Mexican cycads of the genus Dioon. Using 16S rRNA metabarcoding, we describe the composition and diversity of foliar bacterial communities across species and biogeographic regions, highlighting patterns potentially shaped by environmental conditions.

Structural analysis of the NifL‐NifA complex reveals the molecular basis of anti‐activation of nitrogen fixation gene expression in Azotobacter vinelandii

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using cryo‐EM combined with biochemical and genetic approaches, we mapped the interaction surface between NifL and NifA to gain insights into the regulation of nitrogen fixation genes in A. vinelandii. Our findings suggest that NifL, a homolog of histidine kinases lacking phosphorylation activity, evolved to act as a steric block of NifA activity ...

Biostimulant or biological? The complexity of defining, categorizing, and regulating microbial inoculants

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
Abstract Agronomic use of specialty products known as biostimulants to improve crop productivity is growing. Traditionally, biostimulants are defined as any substance or microorganism applied to plants to enhance nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop yield and/or quality.

Synergistic Effects of Bacillus cereus Mn‐5 PGPR‐Derived Silver Oxide Nanoparticles on Tomato Plant Growth, Stress Resilience and Nutritional Enhancement

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Agricultural crops face increasing environmental stresses, such as soil salinity and heavy metal contamination, aggravated by climate change and threatening food security. While PGPRs are eco‐friendly agrochemical substitutes, their efficacy in the field is inconsistent.
