This review covers the literature data on plant growth-promoting bacteria in soil, which can
fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphates, produce and secrete siderophores, and …

A bacterial isolate, A1, was collected from the rhizosphere soil of cultivated peanuts. Based
on its 16 S rRNA sequence, this isolate was identified as a Pseudomonas putida strain. On …
