Pseudomonas strains have shown promising results in biological control of late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans. However, the mechanism(s) and metabolites involved are in many cases poorly understood. Here, the role of the cyclic lipopeptide massetolide A of Pseudomonas fluorescens SS101 in biocontrol of tomato late blight was examined. Pseudomonas fluorescens SS101 was effective in prev...

To examine the effect of crop growth enhancer bacteria on quantitative and qualitative yield of safflower, an experiment in randomized complete block design was conducted in eight levels with four replications. Bacterial factor consisted of control (absence of bacteria), AzotobacterChroococcum,AzospirillumBrazilians, Pseudomonas Fluorescens, AzotobacterChroococcum+Azospirillum Brazilians, Azoto...

Biofertilizers containing living organisms are attractive because of their potential positive impact on plant growth and reduced environmental effect compared to mineral fertilizers. Many studies have reported the growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) cyanobacteria, applied singly or in combination. In present study, combined PGPR cyanobacteria Triticum aestivum L. was examined a hydroponic sys...

The production and consumption of blueberry have increased in Mexico owing to its health benefits. Symbiotic relationships been shown be crucial plants. In particular, phytohormone by Pseudomonas fluorescens is an important mechanism plant growth promotion. However, there are only a few reports on the effects growth-promoting bacteria blueberries. Therefore, we aimed evaluate four strains P. (U...

Tannery effluent is a major source of aquatic pollution in India. Hexavalent chromium compounds are being used in a wide variety of commercial processes and unregulated disposal of the chromium containing effluent has led to the contamination of soil, sediment, surface and ground waters. In trace amounts, chromium is considered an essential nutrient for numerous organisms, but at higher level, ...

gerbera jamesoniiis of commercial significance and fifth most used cut flower in the world today. a pot experiment was performed to see the effect of co-inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) i.e. (glomus mosseae andacaulospora laevis) with phosphate solubilizing bacteria pseudomonas fluorescensin the presence of different doses of superphosphate (low, medium, high) on growth establi...

The Pseudomonas fluorescens complex includes Pseudomonas strains that have been taxonomically assigned to more than fifty different species, many of which have been described as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with potential applications in biocontrol and biofertilization. So far the phylogeny of this complex has been analyzed according to phenotypic traits, 16S rDNA, MLSA and infer...

The objectives of this work were (i) to use transposon mutagenesis to produce mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens that were altered in adhesion ability and transport through porous media and (ii) to identify the alterations in surface characteristics that were responsible for the changes in attachment. Mutants of P. fluorescens were generated with TnphoA, which enabled identification of mutants ...

Pseudomonas isolates from different crop plants were screened for in vitro growth inhibition of Phytophthora capsici and production of biosurfactant. Two in vivo experiments were performed to determine the efficacy of selected Pseudomonas strains against Phytophthora blight of pepper by comparing two fungicide treatments [acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and ASM + mefenoxam]. Bacterial isolates were ...
