Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) control the damage to plants from phytopathogens by a number of different mechanisms including: outcompeting the phytopathogen, physical displacement of the phytopathogen, secretion of siderophores to prevent pathogens in the immediate vicinity from proliferating, synthesis of antibiotics, synthesis of a variety of small molecules that can inhibit phytopat...

The sugarcane (Saccharum spp) presents economic importance, mainly for tropical regions, being an important Brazilian commodity. However, this crop is strongly dependent on fertilizers, mainly nitrogen (N). This study assessed the plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) associated with sugarcane that could be used as a potential inoculant to the crop. We evaluated the genetic diversity of PGPB i...

Plant growth-promoting bacteria –PGPB– are microorganisms that can grow in, on, or around plant tissues and stimulate plant growth by numerous mechanisms (Vessey 2003). Within this group, nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a remarkable role in plant nutritition. They can take N2 from atmosphere and make it available for plant uptake (Halbleib and Ludden 2000). Azotobacter, a nitrogen-fixing bacteria...

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhance plant growth, as well protect plants from several biotic and abiotic stresses through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, the exploitation PGPB in agriculture is feasible it offers sustainable eco-friendly approaches to maintaining soil health while increasing crop productivity. The vital key application its effectiveness colonizing roots phyllosph...

Salinity is an important problem for agriculture in the Mediterranean area, and thus, it essential to develop mitigation strategies reduce its impact. The main objective of this study was test effectiveness halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (H-PGPB) improving grapevine salt stress tolerance. Grapevines grafted onto a salt-sensitive rootstock were inoculated with consortium H-PGPB. su...

The effects of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) on the fruit yield, growth and nutrient element content of strawberry cv. Fern were investigated under organic growing conditions between 2006 and 2008. The experimental plot was a completely randomized design with 3 replicates. Three PGPB strains (Pseudomonas BA-8, Bacillus OSU-142 and Bacillus M-3) were used alone or in combination as biof...

Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) are a diverse group of bioactive compounds synthesized by microorganisms, and their antimicrobial properties make them ideal candidates for use as biocontrol agents against pathogens. produced Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) have gained interest the plants’ bacterial fungal In this review, structure mode action NRPs, including characterization NRP-producing ...

Pantoea sp. 1.19, a plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB), was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice plants in Spain. Its genome, estimated at 3,771,065 bp, encodes 3,535 coding sequences (CDSs), carrying genes for synthesis of auxins, homoserine lactones, enzymes, siderophores, and quorum sensing. Several CDSs emphasize its biotechnological potential as an agriculture inoculant.
