gen. nov., sp. nov. and gen. nov., sp. nov., two novel bacteria of the family isolated from sugarcane.

Two novel endophytic bacterial strains, designated KSS8 and KSS12, were isolated from the stems and roots of sugarcane, respectively, collected in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. They were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and rod-shaped. The strain KSS8 was a motile bacterium with a subpolar flagellum, while the strain KSS12 was non-motile.

Characterisation of Plant Growth-Promoting Endophytic Bacteria from Sugarcane and Their Antagonistic Activity against .

The use of endophytic bacteria in agriculture provides an effective way of improving crop yield and significantly reducing chemical usage, such as fungicides. This research was conducted to explore endophytic bacteria with plant growth promotion (PGP) and antifungal activities against AIT01. In this study, we obtained 52 isolates of endophytic bacteria associated with the roots and stems of sugarcane from Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand.

Selective Thermotolerant Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated From Fermented Juice of Epiphytic Lactic Acid Bacteria and Their Effects on Fermentation Quality of Stylo Silages.

The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from fermented juice of tropical crops such as Napier grass, Ruzi grass, Purple guinea grass, Stylo legume, and Leucaena and their application to improve the quality of tropical crop silage. Fifteen strains of LAB were isolated. The LAB strains were Gram-positive and catalase-negative bacteria and could be divided into three groups, i.
