Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) inoculants enhance the bacterial network connectivity more than non-PGPB in heavy metal-contaminated soil [PDF]
Optimizing the performance of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) inoculants in phytoremediation requires a deeper understanding of their interactions with the indigenous soil microbiome.

Role of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria in Reshaping Rhizosphere Bacterial and Fungal Microbiomes Under Multi-Metal–Microplastic Composite Pollution in Spinach [PDF]
Microplastics (MPs) often co-occur with heavy metals (HMs), posing combined stress that inhibits plant growth. While plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are known to alleviate heavy metal toxicity, their role under MP–HM co-contamination and the ...

The Use of PGPB to Promote Plant Hydroponic Growth
Improvements to the world’s food supply chain are needed to ensure sufficient food is produced to meet increasing population demands. Growing food in soilless hydroponic systems constitutes a promising strategy, as this method utilizes significantly less water than conventional agriculture, can be situated in urban areas, and can be stacked vertically ...

Imprints of PGPB association on the metabolic dynamism of Piper nigrum
Endophytes are endosymbiotic microorganisms that coexist within different plant species which assist the host in multifarious ways without causing any detrimental effects on the plant well-being. The current study is focused on the bacterial isolates found in the Piper nigrum in vitro culture in the basal MS medium.

PGPB and/or AM Fungi Consortia Affect Tomato Native Rhizosphere Microbiota
Tomatoes are one of the most important crops worldwide and also play a central role in the human diet. Microbial consortia are microorganism associations, often employed as bioinoculants, that can interact with the native rhizosphere microbiota. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a bacterial-based biostimulant (Pseudomonas fluorescens ...

The Escherichia coli pgpB Gene Encodes for a Diacylglycerol Pyrophosphate Phosphatase Activity [PDF]
We provided genetic and biochemical evidence that supported the conclusion that the product of pgpB gene of Escherichia coli exhibited diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) phosphatase activity. DGPP phosphatase activity was absent in pgpB mutant cells and was expressed at high levels in cells carrying the wild-type pgpB gene on a runaway replication ...

Membrane-bound phosphatases in Escherichia coli: sequence of the pgpB gene and dual subcellular localization of the pgpB product [PDF]
The phosphatidyl glycerophosphate B phosphatase of Escherichia coli has a multiple substrate specificity and a peculiar dual subcellular localization in the envelope. Its phosphatidyl glycerophosphate phosphatase activity is higher in the cytoplasmic membrane, while phosphatidic acid and lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase activities are higher in the ...
