In this study, a copper-resistant plant growth promoting bacterial (PGPB) strain Ax10 was isolated from a Cu mine soil to assess its plant growth promotion and copper uptake in Brassica juncea. The strain Ax10 tolerated concentrations up to 600 mg CuL(-1) on a Luria-Bertani (LB) agar medium and utilized 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) as a sole N source in DF salts minimal medium. T...

Six laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the fungicide Benomyl on pure cultures of some plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) and some fungi. The highest LD50 was recorded for Bacillus circulans and proved to be the most resistant to the fungicide, followed by Azospirillum braziliense, while Penicillium sp. was the most affected microorganism. LD50 values for th...

The plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB) Pseudomonas sp. UW4, previously isolated from the rhizosphere of common reeds growing on the campus of the University of Waterloo, promotes plant growth in the presence of different environmental stresses, such as flooding, high concentrations of salt, cold, heavy metals, drought and phytopathogens. In this work, the genome sequence of UW4 was obtaine...

Endophytic persistence of inoculated plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) involves interaction with the host and host’s indigenous endophytic bacterial communities. This study investigated Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20 into rice endosphere together impact inoculation on diversity community structure root shoot endophytes in Oryza sativa L. spp. indica cv. IR29. Terminal Restriction Fragment ...

Salinity is a type of abiotic stress that negatively affects plant growth and development. Textile hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) an important multi-purpose crop shows sensitivity to salt in genotype- developmental stage-dependent manner. The root shoot biomasses decrease the presence NaCl during vegetative several stress-responsive genes are activated. Finding environmentally friendly ways increase...

Maize has a high nutritional requirement, especially regarding NPK fertilization. However, conventional fertilization with these nutrients presents loss potential, mainly by volatilization, leaching, adsorption, and fixation, which may reflect on the development yield of maize plants. Using fertilizers increased efficiency seeks to mitigate limitations, reducing potential losses due gradual nut...

This research aims to study the effect of Mycorrizal fungus and Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) on Cadmium (Cd) uptake by one-year-old Eucalyptus Camaldulensis seedlings. The treatments have involved three levels of heavy metal (0, 30, and 60 mg/kg) for Cd, and three bacterial levels (no bacteria (B0), Bacillus (Ba105), and Pseudomonas (Ps36, Ps448)), inoculated with mycorrhizal fungus G...
