Comparative Genomics of Strains Isolated from Salted Foods Reveals Protechnological Genes for Food Applications.

Archaeal cell factories are becoming of great interest given their ability to produce a broad range of value-added compounds. Moreover, the Archaea domain often includes extremophilic microorganisms, facilitating their cultivation at the industrial level under nonsterile conditions. Halophilic archaea are studied for their ability to grow in environments with high NaCl concentrations.

Integrated Genomic and Greenhouse Assessment of a Novel Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterium for Tomato Plant.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can display several plant-beneficial properties, including support to plant nutrition, regulation of plant growth, and biocontrol of pests. Mechanisms behind these effects are directly related to the presence and expression of specific genes, and different PGPR strains can be differentiated by the presence of different genes. In this study we reported a comprehensive evaluation of a novel PGPR UC4115 from the field to the lab, and from the lab to the plant.

Isolation and Screening of Extracellular PGPR from the Rhizosphere of Tomato Plants after Long-Term Reduced Tillage and Cover Crops.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria provide an innovative solution to address challenges in sustainable agro-ecosystems, improving plant growth as well as acting as agents of biocontrol. In this study autochthonous bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of processing tomato plants ( L) cultivated with conservation agriculture practices (i.e.
