A Look at Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacteria.

Bacteria have been used to increase crop yields. For their application on crops, bacteria are provided in inoculant formulations that are continuously changing, with liquid- and solid-based products. Bacteria for inoculants are mainly selected from natural isolates.

Physiological Effects and Human Health Benefits of : A Review of Clinical Trials.

Linn. Malvaceae (HS) is characterized by its edible calyxes. The HS calyxes are widely used for cosmetic, food, and medicinal applications.

-Based Phytobiotic for Laying Hens' Supplementation: Effects on Productivity, Egg Quality, and Fecal Microbiota.

The poultry industry is constantly demanding novel strategies to improve the productivity and health status of hens, prioritizing those based on the holistic use of natural resources. This study aimed to assess the effects of an -based phytobiotic on productivity, egg quality, and fecal microbiota of laying hens. One hundred and ninety-two 14-week-old Lohmann Lite LSL hens were allocated into an experimental farm, fed with a commercial concentrate with and without the -based phytobiotic, and challenged against .

Non-Antibiotics Strategies to Control Infection in Poultry.

spp. is a facultative intracellular pathogen causing localized or systemic infections, involving economic and public health significance, and remains the leading pathogen of food safety concern worldwide, with poultry being the primary transmission vector. Antibiotics have been the main strategy for control for many years, which has allowed producers to improve the growth and health of food-producing animals.

The Mexican giant maize of Jala landrace harbour plant-growth-promoting rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria.

The giant landrace of maize Jala is a native crop cultured in Nayarit and Jalisco States in the occident of México. In this study, after screening 374 rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria isolated from rhizospheric soil, root, and seed tissues of maize Jala, a total of 16 bacterial strains were selected for their plant-growth-promoting potential and identified by 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis. The isolates exhibited different combinations of phenotypic traits, including solubilisation of phosphate from hydroxyapatite, production of a broad spectrum of siderophores such as cobalt, iron, molybdenum, vanadium, or zinc (Co, Fe, Mo, V, Zn), and nitrogen fixation capabilities, which were detected in both rhizospheric and endophytic strains.

Two-Step Triethylamine-Based Synthesis of MgO Nanoparticles and Their Antibacterial Effect against Pathogenic Bacteria.

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) were obtained by the calcination of precursor microparticles (PM) synthesized by a novel triethylamine-based precipitation method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a mean size of 120 nm for the MgO NPs. The results of the characterizations for MgO NPs support the suggestion that our material has the capacity to attack, and have an antibacterial effect against, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria strains.
