The Isolation of Free-Living Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria and the Assessment of Their Potential to Enhance Plant Growth in Combination with a Commercial Biostimulant

Microbiology Research
The development of microbial-based biostimulants to enhance the growth of crops and support a healthy and sustainable soil requires the isolation and large-scale industrial culture of effective microorganisms.

Anthropogenic impact on diazotrophic diversity in the mangrove rhizosphere revealed by nifH pyrosequencing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Diazotrophs in the mangrove rhizosphere play a major role in providing new nitrogen to the mangrove ecosystem and their composition and activity are strongly influenced by anthropogenic activity and ecological conditions.

Dinitrogen fixation in aphotic oxygenated marine environments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
We measured N2 fixation rates from oceanic zones that have traditionally been ignored as sources of biological N2 fixation; the aphotic, fully oxygenated, nitrate (NO3-)-rich, waters of the oligotrophic Levantine Basin (LB) and the Gulf of Aqaba (GA). N2

Divergent Capacity of Scleractinian and Soft Corals to Assimilate and Transfer Diazotrophically Derived Nitrogen to the Reef Environment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Corals are associated with dinitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria that potentially represent an additional nitrogen (N) source for the coral holobiont in oligotrophic reef environments.

Distinct Microbial Community of Phyllosphere Associated with Five Tropical Plants on Yongxing Island, South China Sea

Microorganisms, 2019
The surfaces of a leaf are unique and wide habitats for a microbial community. These microorganisms play a key role in plant growth and adaptation to adverse conditions, such as producing growth factors to promote plant growth and inhibiting pathogens to

Rhizobia Isolated from Coal Mining Areas in the Nodulation and Growth of Leguminous Trees

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2016
An alternative for recovery of areas degraded by coal mining is revegetation with rapidly growing leguminous trees, which often do not establish in low fertility soils.

Microbial species pool-mediated diazotrophic community assembly in crop microbiomes during plant development

mSystems
Plant-associated diazotrophs strongly relate to plant nitrogen (N) supply and growth. However, our knowledge of diazotrophic community assembly and microbial N metabolism in plant microbiomes is largely limited. Here we examined the assembly and temporal

Field Assessment of Biochar Interactions With Chemical and Biological N Fertilization in Pointed White Cabbage

GCB Bioenergy
The interaction of biochar with mineral fertilization has attracted attention as a strategy to reduce N losses and enhance nitrogen use efficiency. In this study, we investigated the coapplication of biochar with two optimized fertilization strategies ...

Development of modular expression across phylogenetically distinct diazotrophs

Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology
Abstract   Diazotrophic bacteria can reduce atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia enabling bioavailability of the essential element. Many diazotrophs closely associate with plant roots increasing nitrogen availability, acting as plant growth promoters.
