Nano-biofertilizers: utilizing nanopolymers as coating matrix-a comprehensive review.

In modern agriculture, nanotechnology was recognized as a potentially transformative innovation. Nanopolymers as coating matrix in nano-biofertilizer has a massive impact on agricultural productivity. The integration of nanotechnology with biofertilizers has led to the creation of nano-biofertilizer formulations that enhance nutrient delivery, improve plant growth, and increase resistance to environmental stress.

Harnessing the Power of Traditional Organic Formulations for Crop Growth and Microbial Harmony.

The utilization of various agrochemicals in crop production technology leads to soil health and fertility depletion. Multiple measures have been taken to revitalize the health of polluted soil. In this context, organic agriculture has increased over the past few years to overcome the detrimental effects of extensive modern agricultural practices.

Draft Genome Sequence of S23 a Plant Growth-promoting Passenger Endophytic Bacterium Isolated from Groundnut Nodule Possesses Stress Tolerance Traits.

Aim: This study aims to reveal the passenger endophytic bacterium S23 isolated from groundnut nodules and to underpin the molecular mechanism and genes responsible for abiotic stress tolerance.

Background: A variety of microorganisms that contribute to nodulation and encourage plant development activity in addition to the nodulating . Passenger endophytes (PE) are endophytes that accidentally penetrate the plant without any selective pressure keeping them in the interior tissue of the plant.

Gamma-induced mutants of and display enhanced antagonistic activities and suppression of the root rot and wilt diseases in pulses.

This study aims to increase and antagonistic activity against the root rot and wilt diseases of pulses caused by and f. sp. , respectively.

Gallic Acid an Agricultural Byproduct Modulates the Biofilm Matrix Exopolysaccharides of the Phytopathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.

Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil-borne plant pathogen which causes wilt disease in economically important crops of the Solanaceae family in tropical and temperate regions. As biofilm formation is the major virulence factor in R. solanacearum, research inputs are necessary to identify natural biofilm inhibitors to mitigate virulence of this bacterium.

Endomicrobial Community Profiles of Two Different Mealybugs: and .

Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) harbour diverse microbial symbionts that play essential roles in host physiology, ecology, and evolution. In this study we aimed to reveal microbial communities associated with two different mealybugs, papaya mealybug () and two-tailed mealybug () collected from the same host plant. Comparative analysis of microbial communities associated with these mealybugs revealed differences that appear to stem from phylogenetic associations and different nutritional requirements.

Azospirillum ramasamyi sp. nov., a novel diazotrophic bacterium isolated from fermented bovine products.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, designated M2T2B2, was isolated from fermented bovine products in Suwon, Republic of Korea. The strain displayed growth at 15-45 °C (optimum, 28-30 °C), pH 6.0-10.

Arachidicoccus rhizosphaerae gen. nov., sp. nov., a plant-growth-promoting bacterium in the family Chitinophagaceae isolated from rhizosphere soil.

Three novel bacterial strains, designated Vu-144(T), Vu-7 and Vu-35, were isolated on minimal medium from rhizosphere soil of field-grown cowpea and subjected to a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. Cells of the strains were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, coccoid rods, and formed non-pigmented colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Vu-144(T) was affiliated with an uncultivated lineage of the phylum Bacteroidetes.

Biocontrol potential of a lytic bacteriophage PE204 against bacterial wilt of tomato.

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating disease of many economically important crops. Since there is no promising control strategy for bacterial wilt, phage therapy could be adopted using virulent phages. We used phage PE204 as a model lytic bacteriophage to investigate its biocontrol potential for bacterial wilt on tomato plants.

Methylobacterium gossipiicola sp. nov., a pink-pigmented, facultatively methylotrophic bacterium isolated from the cotton phyllosphere.

A pink, aerobic, facultatively methylotrophic, motile, Gram-negative rod, designated Gh-105(T), was isolated from the phyllosphere of cotton from Coimbatore (Tamilnadu, India). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed clearly that the isolate belonged to the Methylobacterium cluster. Strain Gh-105(T) was most closely related to Methylobacterium adhaesivum AR27(T) (99% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Methylobacterium iners 5317S-33(T) (97.

Mucilaginibacter gossypii sp. nov. and Mucilaginibacter gossypiicola sp. nov., plant-growth-promoting bacteria isolated from cotton rhizosphere soils.

Two isolates from rhizosphere soil of cotton, designated Gh-67(T) and Gh-48(T), which produced large amounts of extracellular polysaccharide and possessed plant-growth-promoting traits, were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. The strains were Gram-negative and cells were non-motile rods that grew optimally at 28°C and grew between pH 4 and 7. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strains Gh-67(T) and Gh-48(T) placed them in the genus Mucilaginibacter, with pairwise sequence similarity between them and type strains from related genera ranging from 93.
