Abstract The study was conducted to investigate the growth of mercury-resistant bacterial consortium under influence different pHs, temperatures, and C:N ratios, as a part mercury bioremediation research. consisted five isolates selected due their resistance HgCl 2 up 100 ppm proven effectively reduce from culture media. Consortium suspension inoculated into two sets media: 1) Tryptic soy broth...

Carrot production is expensive since approximately 51% of the total costs are allocated to nutrition crop. Bacterial inoculants a promising alternative for crop fertilization. This research aimed evaluate effect Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus on performance carrot cultivar “Royal Chantenay” and its interaction with nitrogen phosphorus An experimental design sub-subdivided plots was applied, w...

Alfalfa silages from 2 similar trials were analyzed for in vitro ruminal gas production. In both trials, there were 15 treatments: alfalfa treated at ensiling with 1 of 14 lactic acid bacterial inoculants or untreated alfalfa. First-cut (477 g of dry matter/kg) and second-cut (393 g of dry matter/kg) alfalfa were ensiled in glass jars for a minimum of 35 d at room temperature (approximately 22 ...

Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may improve plant performance at disturbed sites, but inoculation may also suppress root colonization by native AMF and decrease the diversity of the root-colonizing AMF community. This has been shown for the roots of directly inoculated plants, but little is known about the stability of inoculation effects, and to which degree the inoculant a...

The production of the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus with mycelium-colonized alginate pellets as an inoculant of the growing medium was investigated. Pellets having an irregular surface and porous internal structure were prepared by complexing a mixture of 1% sodium alginate, 2 to 6% vermiculite, 2% hygramer, and various concentrations of Nutrisoy (soy protein) with calcium chloride. The por...

The nitrogen-fixing effectiveness of multistrain inoculants was found to be determined by both the effectiveness of the component strains and the percentage of the nodules occupied by them. Multistrain formulations were always either as good as the most effective single-strain inoculant or intermediate between the most and the least effective. The percentage of nodules occupied and the amount o...

Abstract Rapid deterioration of harvested macroalgal biomass is a challenge for industry and can be overcome with the inexpensive ensiling preservation. To improve silage quality, Saccharina latissima Alaria esculenta was subjected to conditions following 2 × 4 factorial design, prewilting treatments (no-prewilting prewilted 300 g DM kg ?1 fresh biomass) additive (no additive, formic acid, sing...
