Potential of plant growth promoting bacterial consortium for improving the growth and yield of wheat under saline conditions.

Owing to inconsistent results of a single bacterial strain, co-inoculation of more than one strain under salinity stress could be a more effective strategy to induce salt tolerance. Co-inoculation of more than one bacterial strain could be more effective due to the presence of several growths promoting traits. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of multi-strains bacterial consortium to promote wheat growth under salinity stress.

Comparative study among , and based ethanolic-extracts for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities.

Microbial resistance and other emerging health risk problems related to the side effects of synthetic drugs are the major factors that result in the research regarding natural products. Fruits, leaves, seeds, and oils-based phyto-constituents are the most important source of pharmaceutical products. Plant extract chemistry depends largely on species, plant components, solvent utilized, and extraction technique.

Converging alfalfa ( L.) and petroleum hydrocarbon acclimated ACC-deaminase containing bacteria for phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil.

Plant assisted bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil is considered an effective green technology whereby accelerated degradation occurs due to converged effect of microorganisms and plants. However, survival and growth of microbes and plants under stress conditions is challenging task for success of the technology. In this study, plant growth promoting bacteria containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC)-deaminase activity and tolerance to petroleum hydrocarbon contamination were used in association with alfalfa for bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil.

Comparative evaluation of different carrier-based multi-strain bacterial formulations to mitigate the salt stress in wheat.

The application of liquid bacterial consortia to soil under natural conditions may fail due to various environmental constraints. In this study, the suitability and efficiency of compost, biogas slurry, crushed corn cob, and zeolite as carriers to support the survival of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and improve the performance of multi-strain bacterial consortia to mitigate the effects of salinity stress on wheat under pot conditions were evaluated. The survival of strains of , , and labelled with A was evaluated for up to 90 days.
