Development of ACCd producer mutant and the effect of inoculation on red pepper plants.

is a plant-growth-promoting bacterium capable of colonizing and promoting growth in numerous crops of agronomic and horticultural significance. The objective of the present study is to develop CW903- flocculating cells and to test their performance in promoting the growth of red pepper plants grown under salt stress. The flocculating CW903-S recorded 12.

Physiological response of tomato plant to chitosan-immobilized aggregated CBMB20 inoculation under salinity stress.

The use of plant growth promoting bacteria as bioinoculant to alleviate salt stress is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach in agriculture. However, the maintenance of the bacterial population in the soil for longer period is a major concern. In the present study, chitosan-immobilized aggregated CBMB20 was used as a bioinoculant to improve tomato plant ( Mill.

Rhamnolipid production using BS18 and evaluation of its efficiency along with phytoremediation and bioaugmentation for bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils.

This study reports the combined use of a rhamnolipid type biosurfactant (BS) along with phytoremediation and bioaugmentation (BA) for bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils. Bacterial isolates obtained from hydrocarbon contaminated soil were screened for rhamnolipid production and isolate BS18, identified as , was selected for bioremediation experiments. Growth of BS18 in mineral salt medium (MSM) with diesel oil as the carbon source showed a maximum biomass of 8.

Aggregation of selected plant growth promoting Methylobacterium strains: role of cell surface components and hydrophobicity.

The bacterial cell surface plays a major role in the bacterial aggregation that in turn plays a positive role in affecting the bacterial dispersion and survival in soil and their ability to adhere to plant surfaces. Plant growth-promoting Methylobacterium strains, Methylobacterium goesingense CBMB5, Methylobacterium sp. CBMB12, Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20, Methylobacterium fujisawaense CBMB37, M.
