Fast Screening of Bacteria for Plant Growth Promoting Traits

2020
Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) are a group of beneficial microorganisms that can positively influence plant fitness and development by improving nutrient acquisition, influencing global plant hormone levels (direct effect), or by reducing the detrimental effects of various pathogens on plant development (indirect effect).

Mechanisms Used by Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria

2011
Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) facilitate plant growth in two ways, either by direct stimulation or by biocontrol (i.e., suppressive activity against soil-borne diseases). The direct stimulation of plant growth may be a consequence of nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, iron sequestration, synthesis of phytohormones (such as auxins ...

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria: Fundamentals and Exploitation

2011
Many plant-beneficial rhizobacteria have been described in the literature. These have been isolated from the plant root, where they usually live under conditions of nutrient starvation and at a low pH. In order to be beneficial, they usually need to colonize the root efficiently.

Potential Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria with Heavy Metal Resistance

Current Microbiology, 2020
Plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria commonly have many strategies to cope with heavy metal toxicity. Heavy metal-resistant PGP bacteria can be used to improve the growth of plants in heavy metal contaminated soils. In this study, the soil samples were collected from the lead-zinc mineral deposits in Gümüşhane Province, Turkey. Nine bacterial isolates

Plant growth-promoting bacteria that decrease heavy metal toxicity in plants

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 2000
Kluyvera ascorbata SUD165 and a siderophore-overproducing mutant of this bacterium, K. ascorbata SUD165/26, were used to inoculate tomato, canola, and Indian mustard seeds which were then grown in soil for 25-42 days in the presence of either nickel, lead, or zinc.

Gluconacetobacter azotocaptans: A Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria

2017
Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a very well-known and well-studied member of family Acetobacteraceae. Strains of this species have been isolated from all over the world. On the other side, only two strains of Gluconacetobacter azotocaptans have been isolated, i.e., one from coffee plant in Mexico (type strain) and another from corn plant in Canada;

Biocontrol of Plant Pathogens Using Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria

2013
Food is the primary requirement for the survival of mankind. Therefore food has always been an issue since prehistoric times. Food production through agriculture is a key process to meet the world food demand. In the last four to five decades global agricultural production has been drastically improved by introduction of improved crop varieties and ...

Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria Associated with Sugarcane

2011
Sugarcane is an important cash crop for several countries and it is mainly used for sugar and ethanol (as biofuel) production. This crop consumes heavy amount of nitrogen fertilizer and get affected by bacterial and fungal diseases for which chemical treatments are not recommended.

Acetic Acid Bacteria as Plant Growth Promoters

2016
Different genera and species of the family Acetobacteraceae (e.g., Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, Gluconacetobacter johannae, Gluconacetobacter azotocaptans, Swaminathania salitolerans, Acetobacter peroxydans, and Acetobacter nitrogenifigens) were found associated with diverse plant species, colonizing the inner tissues and roots.

Biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activities of airborne bacteria

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
The potential of airborne bacteria as a sustainable alternative for agriculture was evaluated. Bacteria were isolated from air samples and evaluated for their plant growth-promoting (PGPB) and antifungal properties as biocontrol of phytopathogens.
