In this study, we evaluated the influence of sour yogurt as a natural microbial inoculant in second-crop corn silages. For purpose, two trials with different dilution rates were conducted. Trial I, groups 10 g + 5 distilled water (SY10-2), 20 (SY20-2), 30 15 (SY30-2), 40 (SY40-2), 50 25 (SY50-2) and no additives added to control (CON) group. The II, (SY10-1), (SY20-1), (SY30-1), (SY40-1), (SY50...

Two endophytic bacterial isolates were obtained from root nodules of clover plants grown in salt affected clay soil Egypt. The closely linked to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains IPR-Pv696 and 262XG2 based on the sequencing phylogenetic analysis 16S rRNA genes, deposited GenBank with accession numbers OM980221.1 (AM1) OM980223.1 (AM2) respectively. evaluated for their potential promote plant...

This study aims at evaluating the agronomic efficiency of Bacillus subtilis UFMT-Pant001 strain as a plant growth promoter in soybean three greenhouses from distinct Brazilian regions. The treatments were formulated based on this concentration 1x109 UFC.mL-1 volumes 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 or 400 mL for each 50 kg seeds. Bradyrhizobium japonicum was added all experiments, and absolute cont...

Plants always interact with microorganisms either negatively or positively during their life cycle. The Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) group is one example that has some beneficial effects on the plant. PSB can transform insoluble soil inorganic phosphates into soluble phosphorous so plants absorb them. This research aimed to test isolate's ability solubilize and use 16S rRNA marker gene...

Pantoea sp. 1.19, a plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB), was isolated from the rhizosphere of rice plants in Spain. Its genome, estimated at 3,771,065 bp, encodes 3,535 coding sequences (CDSs), carrying genes for synthesis of auxins, homoserine lactones, enzymes, siderophores, and quorum sensing. Several CDSs emphasize its biotechnological potential as an agriculture inoculant.

The importance of sexual recombination in determining fungal population structure cannot be inferred solely from the relative abundance of sexual and asexual spores and reproductive structures. To complement a previously reported study of proportions of Mycosphaerella graminicola ascocarps and pycnidia, we investigated the share of sexual recombinants among isolates randomly derived from the sa...

The Brazilian inoculant strains 29W and 587 were found to be members of Bradyrhizobium elkanii primarily on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences identical to that of B. elkanii USDA76 and on the basis of reactivity with antibodies against serogroups 76 and 31, respectively. The agronomic consequences of using strains of B. elkanii as soybean inoculants are discussed.

An immunoblot procedure for the strain-specific quantitative analysis of commercial Rhizobium inoculants was developed. The technique greatly reduced the time required for inoculant analysis. Correlation between immunoblot analysis and traditional plant nodule grow-out most-probable-number techniques was r = 0.90 for 16 commercial alfalfa inoculants tested.

The symbiotic effectiveness and nodulation competitiveness of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii soil isolates were evaluated under nonsoil greenhouse conditions. The isolates which we used represented both major and minor nodule-occupying chromosomal types (electrophoretic types [ETs]) recovered from field-grown subclover (Trifolium subterraneum L.). Isolates representing four ETs (ETs 2, 3,...
