Bioaugmentation of contaminated sites with microbes that are adapted or genetically engineered for degradation of specific toxic compounds is an area that is currently being explored as a clean-up option. Biomarkers have been developed to track the survival and efficacy of specific bacteria that are used as inocula for bioremediation of contaminated soil. Examples of biomarkers include the luc ...

A long term study has been carried out for over a decade across various tea gardens, located in different parts of Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), with a focus on rhizosphere microbiology of tea. Occurrence of ‘negative rhizosphere effect’ exerted by the established tea bushes, in contrast to the normal stimulatory effect exhibited by the plants in general as well as young tea bushes, is the fir...

Coastal saline soils are increasing year by caused climate change and human activities. Most of the coastal idle due to their high salinity level few crops can grow normally. Salinity tolerant legumes naturally tolerant, which ecological cover soil, enhance soil fertility symbiotic nitrogen fixation increase smallholder farmers’ benefits in terms forage, green manure, food or medicine. However,...

Abstract The traditional logic behind effective microorganism is based on a media inoculation with mixed cultures of beneficial microorganisms to create more favorable environment for plant growth and health when the soil. Following this rationale, other research works have been focused studying effect they are used as manure stabilizing agents, in some cases by including them animal diets, rep...

It is important to use renewable resources to maximize crop yields and minimize the environmental hazards associated with chemical residues. Composting is an age old practice for the biological conversion of organic waste to a humus-like substance which can enhance physical, chemical and biological soil properties. To explore the effect of microorganisms in the composting process, three potent ...

The bacterial community of rhizosphere soil maintains properties, regulates the microbiome, improves productivity, and sustains agriculture. However, structure function communities have been interrupted or destroyed by unreasonable agricultural practices, especially excessive use chemical fertilizers. Microbial inoculants, regarded as harmless, effective, environmentally friendly amendments, ar...

Abstract. The induction of biocrusts through inoculation-based techniques has gained increasing scientific attention in the last 2 decades due to its potential address issues related soil degradation and desertification. technology shown most rapid advances use biocrust organisms, particularly cyanobacteria mosses, as inoculants initiators. Cyanobacteria mosses are poikilohydric organisms – i.e...

The current work focuses on the manufacturing of aluminium AA 6061 composites and its tribological characterization. This is achieved by reinforcing matrix with red mud. However, uniform dispersion mud requires ultrasonic assisted stir casting use optimum wt.% TiO 2 inoculants. In this regard, composition fixed at wt.%, since addition beyond results in agglomeration, while inoculants varied fro...
