The CelA beta-glucosidase of Azospirillum irakense, belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 3 (GHF3), preferentially hydrolyzes cellobiose and releases glucose units from the C(3), C(4), and C(5) oligosaccharides. The growth of a DeltacelA mutant on these cellobiosides was affected. In A. irakense, the GHF3 beta-glucosidases appear to be functional alternatives for the GHF1 beta-glucosidases in ...

The effect of growth at 42 degrees C on the different components of the siderophore-mediated iron transport that are induced by iron limitation in Azospirillum brasilense was examined. Biosynthesis of the siderophore spirilobactin was strongly inhibited (20-fold) by growth at 42 degrees C, whereas the transport of iron by the ferric-spirilobactin transport system and the induction of the iron-r...

The total phenol content of four common paddy cultivars Odisha namely Abhisek (R), Manik (MR), Bas-12 (S) and Lalat (HS) were studied under pot culture condition in the net house following CRD design different treatments using biofertilizer Azospirillum. brasilense alone or combinations against rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola. objective work was to study quantitative changes phe...

HIGHLIGHTS Azospirillum brasilense stimulates root growth in maize under water deficit. Maize inoculated with A. shows greater photosynthesis drought conditions. Under deficit, plants showed use efficiency (WUE).

In synthetic wastewater, growth and phosphorus absorption by two species of microalgae, Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella vulgaris, and in domestic wastewater by C. sorokiniana significantly enhanced after a starvation period of 3 days in saline solution, combined with co-immobilization with the microalgae growth-promoting bacterium (MGPB) Azospirillum brasilense Cd in alginate beads. Starv i...
