Plant growth promotion has been found associated with plants on the surface (epiphytic),
inside (endophytic), or close to the plant roots (rhizospheric). Endophytic bacteria mainly …

Bacteria transport proteins to diverse intracellular or extracellular locations to ensure proper
function. Proteins are localized intracellularly to the cytoplasm or the periplasm or …
