Some phosphate rocks (PR) contain high concentrations of uranium (U), which are potentially toxic via accumulation in soils and food chains, and plant uptake of U is likely to be influenced by characteristics of roots and associated microorganisms. The relative importance of root hairs and mycorrhiza in U uptake from PR was studied using a root hairless barley (Hordeum vulgare) mutant (Brb) and...

In the contemporary era, excessive use of chemical fertilizers in areas where strawberries are intensively cultivated disrupts balance nature and reduces economic efficiency. Therefore, using organic biofertilizers sustainable agriculture can solve these problems. The effect fertilizer other treatments on yield, quality, plant growth Monterey strawberry variety was investigated. Solid farm manu...

Ten Azotobacter cultures were isolated from the maize rhizosphere and their auxin producing ability was measured colourimetrically. The auxin production by three efficient Azotobacter cultures (Z1, Z3, Z4) was also measured in the presence of filter sterilized L-tryptophan (at 10G, 10G and 10G M). Azotobacter culture Z4 gave relatively higher auxin production and was selected for further experi...

Azotobacter strains were isolated by serial dilution method and colonies were viscous, smooth, glistening, and brown to black colour on Jenson's N-free agar. Morphological and biochemical tests showed characteristic features of Azotobacter. Further, molecular analyses revealed the presence of different Azotobacter species viz., A. armeniacus, A. chroococcum, A. salinestris, A. tropicalis and A....

The objectives of this study were to count and culture Azotobacter spp. in sampled soils, to determine the nitrogen (N) fixing capacity byAzotobacter spp. in pure culture and different soils, and to explore the relationships between N fixation capacity of Azotobacter spp. and microbiological properties of soils in Northern Anatolia, Turkey. Statistically significant relationships were found bet...

L6hnis and Smith (1923) pointed out that not less than seven different morphological types can be developed and stabilized from Azotobacter cultures. This extreme transmutation of cells has been questioned by subsequent investigators (Lewis, 1937, 1941). Nevertheless, peculiar morphological phases do occur in Azotobacter cultures and no satisfactory explanation has been given as to their functi...
