Nitrogen (N) is of great importance in agricultural activities as it is required in larger amount
compared to other nutrients and is involved in vital biological processes. Inappropriate use
of N fertilizers results in environmental problems (eg, eutrophication of soils and waters,
climate change). Industrial production of N fertilizers is not sustainable and as the
consequence the need for providing plants with biologically fixed N is increasingly
investigated. Plant endophytic bacteria are defined as bacteria living inside plant tissues …
