Soil bacteria are very important in biogeochemical cycles and have been used for crop
production for decades. Plant–bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are the determinants …

Azospirillum represents the best characterized genus of plant growth-promoting
rhizobacteria. Other free-living diazotrophs repeatedly detected in association with plant …

Endophytic microbes are ubiquitous in most plant species. Endophytic microbes enter plants
mainly through wounds, naturally occurring as a result of plant growth or through root hairs …

The second edition of this book, first published in 1991 and intended for students and
researchers, contains revised and updated material on the theory and practice of nitrogen …

Although the term “endophyte” is most commonly associated with fungi, there is a significant
amount of literature pertaining to bacteria as endophytes as well, some of which are …

The utilization of inoculants containing Azospirillum is becoming more popular due to
increasing reports of expressive gains in grain yields. However, incompatibility with …

Biological N2 fixation (BNF) by associative diazotrophic bacteria is a spontaneous process
where soil N is limited and adequate C sources are available. Yet the ability of these …

Bacterial cellulose is a strong and ultrapure form of cellulose produced naturally by several
species of the Acetobacteraceae. Its high strength, purity, and biocompatibility make it of …

It is now well accepted that nitrogen-fixing bacteria colonising graminaceous plants can be
grouped into three categories: 1, rhizosphere organisms; 2, facultative endophytes and 3 …

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria were isolated from the stems of wild and cultivated rice on a
modified Rennie medium. Based on 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences, the …
