Enumeration of Soil Inhabiting Cellulolytic Bacteria as Plant Growth Promoter

Effects of Plant Growth Promoter Bacteria on Biomass and Yield of Basil (Ocimum Basilicum L.)

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of plant growth promoter bacteria on biomass and yield of basil. The experiment was carried out as randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture Company of Ran in Firouzkuh of iran in 2012 . The treatments were [1] Azotobacter chroococcum (A), [2] Azospirillum lipoferu...

Peptonized milk as an enumeration medium for soil bacteria.

Peptonized milk agar with Actidione proved to be superior to either Trypticase soy agar or soil extract agar for enumeration of soil bacteria.

Isolation of Cellulolytic Bacteria

Promotion of Plant Growth by Soil Bacteria That Regulate Plant Ethylene Levels

One of the central the mechanisms used by many soil bacteria to directly promote plant growth is the production of the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase. This enzyme facilitates plant growth as a consequence of the fact that it sequesters and cleaves plantproduced ACC (the immediate precursor of ethylene in plants), thereby lowering the level of ethylene in the plant. In ...
