We performed a rapid response investigation to evaluate the presence and distribution of amphibian pathogens in Madagascar following our identification of amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Bd) and ranavirus in commercially exported amphibians. This targeted risk-based field surveillance program was conducted from February to April 2014 encompassing 12 regions and 47 surv...

The homocysteine methyltransferase encoded by mmuM is widely distributed among microbial organisms. It is the key enzyme that catalyzes the last step in methionine biosynthesis and plays an important role in the metabolism process. It also enables the microbial organisms to tolerate high concentrations of selenium in the environment. In this research, 533 mmuM gene sequences covering 70 genera ...

BACKGROUND Most endophytic bacteria in consortia, which provide robust and broad metabolic capacity, are attractive for applications in plant metabolic engineering. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of engineered endophytic bacterial strains on rice sprout ethylene level and growth under saline stress. A protocol was developed to synthesize engineered strains by expressing ba...

Bacterial endophytes are host-beneficial microbial symbionts inhabiting different plant tissues without causing damage to the host plant. To our knowledge, no previous data was available regarding endophytic bacterial population colonizing root nodules of legumes in this region. Therefore, study conducted identify and assess biodiversity four species Fabaceae family, including Chickpea, Faba be...

Abstract Background Filling silos generally takes much time in practice, which may negatively affect silage fermentation and feed intake. To clarify the effects of inoculating time, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains filling on microbes stylo ( Stylosanthes guianensis ) its silage, ensiling was quickly performed (quickly filling, QF) with or without LAB Lactobacillus plantarum SXC48, Lb. CCZZ1 ...

The undertaken study was conducted to isolate and characterize the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria from rhizospheric soil of Musa itinerans collected Zaphumi village, Nagaland, Northeast India. purified bacterial isolates were screened for growth-promoting traits namely phosphate solubilization, IAA production, siderophore ammonia production. Out 25 isolates, three best with maximum select...

The landraces and wild species wisely choose their microbiome explored them as a second genome for nutrient acquisition from the limited resources of soil ecosystem can withstand drought diseases. Hence, present study aimed to explore drought-tolerant rice landrace Tamil Nadu putative competitive endophytes develop plant-growth-promoting endophytic bacterial inoculant. Twenty two were authentic...

Salinity stress is a major limiting factor that adversely affects the crop productivity. Considering these problems, present investigation was aimed to isolate and characterize halotolerant PGPR strain circumvent problems. Strain MSK1 tolerated exceptionally 1000 mM of NaCl identified as K. sacchari using 16S rRNA sequence analysis (accession number MG028651). found metabolically active, produc...
