The cytology and life-cycle of Azotobacter chroococcum.

Studies on Azotobacter Chroococcum Beij.

The study of the metabolism of Azotobacter has been generally approached from the standpoint of the r6le of this organism in the nitrogen cycle in Nature, but the fact that the ability to fix free nitrogen is regulated by the presence or absence of combined nitrogen in the medium has not been given serious attention although it is made plain in the works to be cited. Bejierink and Van Delden (1...

Assessment of plant growth promoting activities and abiotic stress tolerance of Azotobacter chroococcum strains for a potential use in sustainable agriculture

This study aimed to select and characterize bacterial strains with multiple plant growth promotion properties able to tolerate drought and salinity stress in order to improve plant growth performance under abiotic stresses. Plant growth promoting activities were evaluated in 106 bacterial strains isolated by soil, compost, lignocellulosic biomasses and food matrices. Two strains A. chroococcum ...

Melanin from the Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterium Azotobacter chroococcum: A Spectroscopic Characterization

Melanins, the ubiquitous hetero-polymer pigments found widely dispersed among various life forms, are usually dark brown/black in colour. Although melanins have variety of biological functions, including protection against ultraviolet radiation of sunlight and are used in medicine, cosmetics, extraction of melanin from the animal and plant kingdoms is not an easy task. Using complementary physi...

اثر پتانسیل‌های محرک رشد سویه‌های بومی ازتوباکتر کروکوکوم روی رشد، عملکرد و جذب عناصر غذایی در گندم

Azotobacter chroococcum is an important PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) producing compounds needed for plant growth. The aim of this research was to study the effects of different native strains of Azotobacter chroococcum on growth and yield of wheat under greenhouse counditions. Seeds of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Pishtaz) were inoculated with some Azotobacter chroococ...
