With the increasing demand for alternative solutions to replace or optimize use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, inoculation bacteria that can contribute growth health plants (PGPR) is essential. The properties classically sought in PGPR are production phytohormones other growth-promoting molecules, more rarely exopolysaccharides. We compared effect two strains exopolysaccharide-produci...

Complexity of bacterial biofilms is generally due to their composition in terms of microorganisms as well as in the diversity of their matrix components. The commonly described extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are exopolysaccharides (ePS), exoproteins (ePN) and extracellular DNA (eDNA). Besides, several studies have shown that the ePN are the most abundant compound within a biofilm [1]....

Fermented food provides plenty of vital nutrients and bioactive components that affect a number of functions of human body in a positive way. Fermented dairy and food products can be made more functional by incorporating probiotic bacteria such as strains belonging to genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. A few strains of such food grade bacteria are capable of synthesizing essential biomol...
