Evaluation of growth and motility in non-photosynthetic Azospirillum brasilense exposed to red, blue, and white light.

Azospirillum brasilense is a non-photosynthetic rhizobacterium that promotes the growth of plants. In this work, we evaluated the effects of different light qualities on the growth, viability, and motility in combination to other culture conditions such as temperature or composition of the culture medium. Exponential cultures of A.

[Development of sequence characterized amplified region markers for identification of Azospirillum brasilense Az39].

Azospirillum brasilense Az39 has been used since more than 30 years by several companies in South America for biofertilizers production. This strain may promote plants growth and development, as well as the ability of inoculated plants to tolerate environmental stresses, which determines an increase in the productivity under field conditions. At present, there are no protocols in Argentina to confirm the identity of Az39 in commercial products; however, such biofertilizers are formulated almost exclusively with this strain.

Regulation of IAA Biosynthesis in Azospirillum brasilense Under Environmental Stress Conditions.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is one of the most important molecules produced by Azospirillum sp., given that it affects plant growth and development. Azospirillum brasilense strains Sp245 and Az39 (pFAJ64) were pre-incubated in MMAB medium plus 100 mg/mL L-tryptophan and treated with or exposed to the following (a) abiotic and (b) biotic stress effectors: (a) 100 mM NaCl or NaSO 4.

Characterization of rhizosphere bacteria for control of phytopathogenic fungi of tomato.

Fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., isolated from rhizosphere soil of tomato and pepper plants, were evaluated in vitro as potential antagonists of fungal pathogens. Strains were characterized using the API 20NE biochemical system, and tested against the causal agents of stem canker and leaf blight (Alternaria alternata f.
