Role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a Plant Growth Enhancer for Sustainable Agriculture: A Review

Asma Hasan, Baby Tabassum, Mohammad Hashim et al. · 1 Apr 2024

The rhizosphere of a plant is home to helpful microorganisms called plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which play a crucial role in promoting plant growth and development. The significance of PGPR for long-term agricultural viability is outlined in this review. Plant growth processes such as nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and hormone secretion are discussed. Increased plant…

Enhancing Manganese Availability for Plants through Microbial Potential: A Sustainable Approach for Improving Soil Health and Food Security

Bahman Khoshru, Debasis Mitra, Alireza Fallah Nosratabad et al. · 6 Aug 2023

Manganese (Mn) is essential for plant growth, as it serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in photosynthesis, antioxidant synthesis, and defense against pathogens. It also plays a role in nutrient uptake, root growth, and soil microbial communities. However, the availability of Mn in the soil can be limited due to factors like soil pH,…

Advancing Dye Degradation: Integrating Microbial Metabolism, Photocatalysis, and Nanotechnology for Eco-Friendly Solutions

Anjuman Ayub, Atif Khurshid Wani, Chirag Chopra et al. · 7 Mar 2025

Textile dyes pose a major environmental threat due to their toxicity, persistence in water bodies, and resistance to conventional wastewater treatment. To address this, researchers have explored biological and physicochemical degradation methods, focusing on microbial, photolytic, and nanoparticle-mediated approaches, among others. Microbial degradation depends on fungi, bacteria, yeasts, and algae, utilizing enzymatic pathways involving oxidoreductases…

Utilizing Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) to Advance Sustainable Agriculture

Piao Yang, Abraham Condrich, Sean Scranton et al. · 3 Dec 2024

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial bacteria that play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture by enhancing plant growth through various mechanisms. This review examines the contributions of PGPR in improving nutrient availability, producing phytohormones, providing biocontrol against pathogens, and enhancing abiotic stress tolerance. By reducing the necessity for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, PGPR mitigate…

Antimicrobial Resistance and Novel Alternative Approaches to Conventional Antibiotics

Irene Berger, Zvi G. Loewy · 22 Jul 2024

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant public health issue. The unprecedented spread of antimicrobial-resistant organisms has been identified by the World Health Organization as one of the leading healthcare threats. Projections for annual worldwide deaths attributed to antimicrobial resistance approach 10 million by 2050, with an associated economic burden of USD 100 trillion. This paper reviews…

Bacteria template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Bacteria format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Bacteria template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Bacteria use?
Bacteria uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Bacteria 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Bacteria?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Bacteria document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Bacteria template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Bacteria format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Bacteria?
Bacteria - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Bacteria PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Bacteria template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Bacteria template cost?
You can start writing in the Bacteria template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Bacteria PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
