The bacterial genus Burkholderia is abundant in the sugarcane rhizosphere. Literature states that some Burkholderia strains are nematode and fungal antagonists and/or plant growth promoters. Research was undertaken to obtain indigenous sugarcane-associated Burkholderia strains that possess these properties. Preliminary screening produced 13 isolates that are able to paralyse juveniles of Meloid...

OBJECTIVE Effects of newly isolated Lactobacillus plantarum on the fermentation and chemical composition of fresh rice straw silage was evaluated in this study. METHODS Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from good crop silage were screened by growing them in MRS broth and a minimal medium with low carbohydrate content. Selected LAB (LAB 1821) were Gram-positive, rods, catalase negative, and were iden...

This study evaluated the fermentation quality, nutritive profile, in vitro fermentation, and microbial communities colonising sorghum ensiled with an unsalable vegetable mixture (chopped beans, carrot, onion (1:1:1) ) including: (1)−100% sorghum; (2)−80% + 20% mix or (3)−60% 40% mix, on a dry matter (DM) basis, without probiotic inoculant. Samples were obtained across 0, 1, 3, 5,7, 101 days ens...

Abstract Inoculation of plants with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) is an ecological approach to improve growth and yield. The objective this study was screen native PGPBs in tomato root rhizosphere evaluate their performance germination seedlings the greenhouse western region Cameroon. Isolates were selected based on ability solubilize phosphate, produce indole-3-acetic acid, seed seedl...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bacterial inoculation on the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silage and on the dry matter degradability and milk composition when fed to sheep or cows. Four male sheep were selected to measure dry matter degradability of uninoculated (UCS) and inoculated (ICS) corn silage. Milk composition was measured for 22 Holstein cows, separ...

Actinomycetes are indispensable in the search for novel, potent and eco friendly fertilizers. The aim of this study was to investigate ability Janibacter sp. RC18 enhance tomato plant growth. isolated from turmeric rhizosphere screened vitro vivo growth promoting traits. promotion traits exhibited by strain were phosphate solubilization ammonia production. inoculated recorded significant (P<...
