Biotic interactions affect the impact of potential plant growth promoting microorganisms in
the rhizosphere, but their magnitude and fundamentals are often hardly known. In a pot …

Studies on the functional significance of bacteria associated with ectomycorrhizal (ECM)
fungi are scarce, as well as information on the metabolism of the host plant when in …

Abstract Bacteria from Pinus sylvestris–Suillus luteus mycorrhizas were isolated,
characterised, and their effects on P. sylvestris–S. luteus interactions and plant growth …

The structure and functioning of mycorrhizosphere bacterial communities from the soil
organic fermentation horizon (FH) of a Pinus sylvestris stand was investigated.• Bacteria …

Selected isolates of rhizosphere bacteria (especially Pseudomonas fluorescens, Rhizobium
trifolii, Agrobacterium rhizogenes and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) and ectomycorrhizal …

The influence of shrubs used as nurse plants was tested on the growth of Cupressus
atlantica, on microbial activity and on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) soil potential in a …

Re-vegetation of fly ash, the principal by-product of coal fired power stations, is hampered by
its unfavourable chemical and physical properties for plant growth. In the present study, we …

Rifamycin-resistant derivatives of plant growth promoting Bacillus polymyxa strains L6, Pw-
2, and S20 were used to evaluate the interaction of bacterial–mycorrhizal co-inoculation on …

Roots constitute important plant organs for water and nutrient uptake. However, they also
release a wide range of carbon compounds of low molecular weight which are called …

In natural ecosystems, plants associate with numerous microbes that play a crucial role in
sustaining their growth and health on disturbed and nutrient-poor soils. The West Chilcotin …
