Published: November 1993

ELISA and antibody adsorption tests were applied to determine the minimal somatic antigen constitution of 243 strains of Bradyrhizobium sp. (Arachis) using 12 antisera. The 243 indigenous bradyrhizobial isolates were from 15 sites in four regions of Thailand. A total of 29 serogroups were identified. Most (80%) of the isolates tested had at least one heat-stable antigen in common with strain 280A, forming a so-called 280A serocluster. At 11 of 15 sites tested, 53 to 100% of the isolates fell into one or two predominant serogroups. The serological properties of the indigenous bradyrhizobia were not related to the cropping history of the cultivated fields from which they were isolated.

Mulching has been demonstrated to improve the soil environment and promote plant growth. However, the effects of mulching and mulch-derived microplastics (MPs) on nitrogen fixation by root nodules remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of polyethylene (PE) and polylactic acid-polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PLA-PBAT) film mulching on nitrogen fixation by root nodules after 4 years of continuous mulching using N tracer technology.

Departamento de Biología Molecular, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Físico-Químicas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto, Ruta Nacional 36, Km 601, Córdoba X5804BYA, Argentina.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the storage effects of alginate beads containing the bacterial strain SEMIA6144 at 4 °C over four years, focusing on bacterial vitality and growth promotion effectiveness for peanuts.
  • Viable cell recovery significantly decreased over time, but cell vitality remained high throughout the storage period.
  • Despite declines in mobility, root adhesion, and low nodulation after four years, SEMIA6144 still enhanced peanut growth, indicating its potential for long-term storage as an effective inoculant.

Metagenomic Analysis to Assess the Impact of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria on Peanut ( L.) Crop Production and Soil Enzymes and Microbial Diversity.

Article Synopsis
  • Peanut production can be enhanced by using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), with a field study showing an 8% increase in seed yield and improved radiation use efficiency (4-14%).
  • The use of PGPR resulted in significant changes in soil enzyme activity and microbial abundance, with dehydrogenase and fluorescein diacetate activities increasing by 28% and 17% respectively, but did not significantly affect microbial diversity.
  • PGPR altered the relative abundance of key microbial phyla and genera, and influenced genes related to nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and assimilation, ultimately benefiting peanut agronomy without changing rhizosphere diversity.
