Enhancing Teak () Seedling Growth by Rhizosphere Microbes: A Sustainable Way to Optimize Agroforestry.

With its premium wood quality and resistance to pests, teak is a valuable tree species remarkably required for timber trading and agroforestry. The nursery stage of teak plantation needs critical care to warrant its long-term productivity. This study aimed to search for beneficial teak rhizosphere microbes and assess their teak-growth-promoting potentials during nursery stock preparation.

Isolation, Characterization, and Efficacy of Actinobacteria Associated with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Spores in Promoting Plant Growth of Chili ( L.).

Nowadays, microorganisms that display plant growth promoting properties are significantly interesting for their potential role in reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. This research study proposed the isolation of the actinobacteria associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spores and the investigation of their plant growth promoting properties in the in vitro assay. Three actinobacterial strains were obtained and identified to the genus (GETU-1 and GIG-1) and (GLM-2).

sp. nov., an actinomycete associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores.

A novel actinomycete, designated strain GLM-1, was isolated from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores from RYA08, collected from Pierre ex Lec. rhizosphere soil in Klaeng, Rayong Province, Thailand. Morphological characteristics of this strain included long chains of rod-like cells and squarish elements.
