In most environments many microorganisms live in close vicinity and can interact in various ways. Recent studies suggest that bacteria are able to sense and respond to the presence of neighbouring bacteria in the environment and alter their response accordingly. This ability might be an important strategy in complex habitats such as soils, with great implications for shaping the microbial commu...

A pot experiment was carried out during 2009 and 2010 to study the field performance of blue pine seedlings inoculated with selected species of bio-inoculants under nursery conditions .The experiment was laid in Completely Randomized Design with three replications which comprised of seven inoculants (Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Pisolithus tinct...

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a phenomenon based on urease activity of halotolerant and alkaliphilic microorganisms that can be used for the soil bioclogging and biocementation in geotechnical engineering. However, enrichment cultures produced from indigenous soil bacteria cannot be used for large-scale MICP because their urease activity decreased with the rate a...

The phylogenetic diversity of the bacteria in hot composting samples collected from three spatial locations was investigated by molecular tools in order to determine the influence of gradient effect on bacterial communities during the thermophilic phase of composting swine manure with rice straw. Total microbial DNA was extracted and bacterial near full-length 16S rRNA genes were subsequently a...

This study investigates the potential of epiphytic bacteria isolated from citrus fruits to control green mold post-harvest disease caused by Penicillium digitatum in Thompson Navel sweet oranges north Iran. Twenty-three were and screened vitro against P. digitatum, 13 isolates with antagonistic activity selected for further studies. Isolates B15 (Bacillus sp.), P17 (Pseudomonas S13 (Streptomyce...
