Soil beneficial bacteria and their role in plant growth promotion: a review

Rifat Hayat, Safdar Ali, Ummay Amara et al. · 27 Aug 2010

Soil bacteria are very important in biogeochemical cycles and have been used for crop production for decades. Plant–bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants of plant health and soil fertility. Free-living soil bacteria beneficial to plant growth, usually referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), are capable of promoting plant growth by colonizing…

Investigations into the antibacterial behavior of copper nanoparticles against Escherichia coli

Muhammad Raffi, Saba Mehrwan, Tariq M. Bhatti et al. · 16 Feb 2010

Zerovalent copper nanoparticles (Cu 0 ) of 12 nm size were synthesized using an inert gas condensation method in which bulk copper metal was evaporated into an inert environment of argon with subsequent cooling for nucleation and growth of nanoparticles. Crystalline structure, morphology and estimation of size of nanoparticles were carried out by X-ray diffraction…

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria: drought stress alleviators to ameliorate crop production in drylands

Manoj Kaushal, S P Wani · 16 Jun 2015

Drylands are known for being a drought stressed environment, which is an alarming constraint to crop productivity. To rescue plant growth in such stressful conditions, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a bulwark against drought stress and imperilled sustainability of agriculture in drylands. PGPR mitigates the impact of drought stress on plants through a process called rhizobacterial-induced…

Biodiversity and biotechnological potential of microorganisms from mangrove ecosystems: a review

Hrudayanath Thatoi, Bikash Chandra Behera, Rashmi Ranjan Mishra et al. · 1 Jun 2012

Mangrove forests occurring at the interface of terrestrial and marine ecosystems represent a rich biological diversity of plants, animals and microorganisms. Microbes, being an important component of the mangrove environment, not only play a very critical role in creating and maintaining this biosphere but also serve as a source of biotechnologically valuable and important products.…

Assessment of genetic diversity and plant growth promoting attributes of psychrotolerant bacteria allied with wheat (Triticum aestivum) from the northern hills zone of India

Priyanka Verma, Ajar Nath Yadav, Kazy Sufia Khannam et al. · 28 Jan 2015

The biodiversity of wheat-associated bacteria from the northern hills zone of India was deciphered. A total of 247 bacteria was isolated from five different sites. Analysis of these bacteria by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) using three restriction enzymes, Alu I, Msp I and Hae III, led to the grouping of these isolates into…
