Encapsulation of plant growth-promoting bacteria in alginate beads enriched with humic acid.
The key to achieving successful, reproducible results following the introduction of beneficial microbes into soil relies on the survival rate of the inoculated bacteria in a heterogeneous soil environment and hence an improved encapsulation method was developed. Owing to the constraints associated with the inoculum formulation, in this study, encapsulation of a plant growth promoting bacteria (...
متن کاملJoint immobilization of plant growth-promoting bacteria and green microalgae in alginate beads as an experimental model for studying plant-bacterium interactions.
A simple, quantitative experimental model, offering a convenient and basic approach to studies of plant-bacterium interactions, is proposed. This involves immobilizing a unicellular, freshwater microalga, a Chlorella species, serving as the plant, with a plant growth-promoting bacterium, an Azospirillum species, in small alginate beads to allow close interaction and to avoid external interferen...
متن کاملZinc-Alginate Beads for the Controlled Release of Rifampicin
The present study describes the preparation of a carrier system based on zinc-alginate beads and to evaluate its potential for the controlled release of rifampicin, the poorly water soluble drug using ionic gelation technique. The surface topology of the developed beads were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy and the crosslinking process was investigated by Fourier Transform. Infrared spe...
متن کاملCyclodextrin-linked alginate beads as supporting materials for Sphingomonas cloacae, a nonylphenol degrading bacteria.
Calcium alginate beads covalently linked with alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD-alginate beads) were prepared and examined for their ability to serve as a supporting matrix for bacterial degradation of nonylphenol, an endocrine disruptor. Column chromatographic experiment using alpha-CD-alginate beads with diameter of 657+/-82 microm and with degree of CD substitution of 0.16 showed a strong affinit...
متن کاملImmobilization of a Plant Lipase from Pachira aquatica in Alginate and Alginate/PVA Beads
This study reports the immobilization of a new lipase isolated from oleaginous seeds of Pachira aquatica, using beads of calcium alginate (Alg) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). We evaluated the morphology, number of cycles of reuse, optimum temperature, and temperature stability of both immobilization methods compared to the free enzyme. The immobilized enzymes were more stable than the free enzy...
