Many studies indicate the favorable effect of biochar on soil quality and plant fitness. A few interactions with rhizosphere bacteria their impact development nutrient acquisition have been reported. In this study, pot experiments in a glasshouse were performed to figure out interactive beneficial Pseudomonas putida TSAU6 amendment wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, uptake, biological activit...

The legume nodules are a rich source not only of rhizobia but also endophytic bacteria exhibiting plant growth-promoting mechanisms with potential as biostimulants. In this work we analyzed the genomes Phyllobacterium endophyticum PEPV15 and Rhizobium laguerreae PEPV16 strains, both isolated from Phaseolus vulgaris nodules. silico analysis showed that these two strains contain genes related to ...

Soil microbes have great potential for agriculture. A wide variety of microbes have been utilized to enhance crop production. In the current issue, enhanced growth of rice plants is reported with the inoculation of a nitrogen (N)-fixing bacterium, Azospirillum sp. B510 (2), which possesses a disease-suppressive property against the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae) and the bacterial leaf b...

Nickel (Ni) is a heavy metal and soil pollutant but existence of small amount of it as a metallic part of urease enzyme in the plants is necessary. Remediation of spots contaminated with heavy metals is particularly challenging. Phytoremediation, the use of plants for environmental restoration, is a novel clean up technology. In this study, five levels of nickel [control (Ni0), Ni125, Ni250, Ni...
