Evaluation of destruction of bacterial membrane structure associated with anti-quorum sensing and ant-diabetic activity of extract.

Recently, there has been an increasing demand for medicinal plants to control diseases for good health and well-being, as primary health facilities are inadequate in certain populations to cure infections. Since synthetic medicines are toxic to humans and other animals, the present research is thus focused on using traditional medicine for treating various ailments as they are harmless. Based on the above facts, the current study was conducted to assay the antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, anti-cholinesterase, anti-oxidant, anti-quorum sensing, and anti-antibiotic resistance modifying effect of extracts of .

Prevention of Oxidative Damage and Phytoremediation of Cr(VI) by Chromium(VI) Reducing Bacillus subtilus PAW3 in Cowpea Plants.

Experiments were conducted to observe the role of plant growth promoting (PGP) strain PAW3 in reduction of Cr(VI) and cowpea growth. PAW3 was identified as Bacillus subtilus by 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Strain PAW3 produced substantial amounts of PGP substances such as indole acetic acid (IAA), ACC deaminase, exopolysaccharide (EPS), siderophore and solublized phosphate even at 500 µg/mL Cr(VI).

Screening of multiple metal and antibiotic resistant isolates and their plant growth promoting activity.

Heavy metal contamination has accelerated due to the rapid industrialization world wide. Accumulation of metals in excess can modify the structure of essential protein or can replace an essential element. Bradyrhizobium strains showed tolerance to cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, zinc and copper.

Nickel detoxification and plant growth promotion by multi metal resistant plant growth promoting Rhizobium species RL9.

Pollution of the biosphere by heavy metals is a global threat that has accelerated dramatically since the beginning of industrial revolution. The aim of the study is to check the resistance of RL9 towards the metals and to observe the effect of Rhizobium species on growth, pigment content, protein and nickel uptake by lentil in the presence and absence of nickel. The multi metal tolerant and plant growth promoting Rhizobium strain RL9 was isolated from the nodules of lentil.

Bacillus species enhance growth parameters of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in chromium stressed soils.

Pollution of the agricultural land by the toxic chromium is a global threat that has accelerated dramatically since the beginning of industrial revolution. Toxic chromium affects both the microbial diversity as well as reduces the growth of the plants. Understanding the effect of the chromium reducing and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on chickpea crop will be useful.

Effects of heavy metal toxicity on growth, symbiosis, seed yield and metal uptake in pea grown in metal amended soil.

Soils contaminated with heavy metals present a major threat to sustainable agriculture. Understanding the effects of these metals on pea productivity will be useful. We studied the effects of cadmium, chromium and copper used both separately and as mixtures, on over all growth of pea plants inoculated with Rhizobium sp.

Effect of metal-tolerant plant growth-promoting Rhizobium on the performance of pea grown in metal-amended soil.

The nickel- and zinc-tolerant plant growth-promoting (PGP) Rhizobium sp. RP5 was isolated from nodules of pea, grown in metal-contaminated Indian soils. The PGP potentials of strain RP5 was assessed under in vitro conditions.

Chromium-reducing and plant growth-promoting Mesorhizobium improves chickpea growth in chromium-amended soil.

Mesorhizobium strain RC3, isolated from chickpea nodules, tolerated chromium up to 500 mug/ml and reduced it by 90% at pH 7 after 120 h. It produced plant growth-promoting substances, both in the presence and absence of chromium. Strain RC3 produced 35 mug indole acetic acid/ml in Luria Bertani broth with 100 mg tryptophan/ml, which decreased with an increase in chromium concentration.

Effect of metal tolerant plant growth promoting Bradyrhizobium sp. (vigna) on growth, symbiosis, seed yield and metal uptake by greengram plants.

The nickel and zinc tolerant plant growth promoting Bradyrhizobium sp. (vigna) RM8 was isolated from nodules of greengram, grown in metal contaminated Indian soils. The plant growth promoting (PGP) potentials of strain RM8 was assessed both in the presence and absence of nickel and zinc under in vitro conditions.

Chromium reduction, plant growth-promoting potentials, and metal solubilizatrion by Bacillus sp. isolated from alluvial soil.

The plant growth-promoting potentials, production of siderophore and solubilization of insoluble phosphorus (P) and zinc and lead by the chromium (vi) -reducing Bacillus species, PSB 1, PSB 7, and PSB 10, was assessed both in the presence and absence of chromium under in vitro conditions. The Bacillus strains tolerated chromium up to the concentration of 500 (PSB1), 400 (PSB7), and 550 microg ml(-1) (PSB10), respectively, on nutrient agar plates. Bacillus sp.
