The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have developed many different (indirect and direct) mechanisms that have a positive effect on plant growth and development. Strains isolated from Astragalus cicer and Astragalus glycyphyllos root nodules were investigated for their plant growth-promoting properties such as production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophores, phosphate solubilization, ACC deaminase activity, and tolerance to heavy metals. IAA production and P-solubilization were frequent features in the analysed strains, while siderophores were not produced by any of them. In this work, we investigated the presence of the acdS genes and ACC deaminase activities in Astragalaus cicer and A. glycyphyllos microsymbionts, classified within the genus Mesorhizobium. The results demonstrated that the acdS gene is widespread in the genome of Astragalus sp. microsymbionts; however, none of the tested strains showed ACC deaminase activity. The acdS gene sequence similarity of the analysed strains to each other was in the range from 84 to 99 %. On the phylogram of acdS gene sequences of milkvetch, the symbionts clustered tightly with the genus Mesorhizobium bacteria.

Background: Seed banks are a vital resource for preserving plant species diversity globally. However, seedling establishment and survival rates from banked seeds can be poor. Despite a growing appreciation for the role of seed-associated microbiota in supporting seed quality and plant health, our understanding of the effects of conventional seed banking processes on seed microbiomes remains limited.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the introduction of a phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) mutation into a plant growth-promoting strain of Methylorubrum on the enhancement of phyllosphere colonization, with the ultimate goal of improving plant growth and quality.
Methods And Results: A strain of Methylorubrum populi (named HS04) was isolated from the groundnut leave and found to process the plant-promoting traits, including the ability to produce indole acetic acid, siderophore, 1-aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylate deaminase, and to fix nitrogen. The application via foliar spray significantly increased the fresh weight of cucumber seedlings cultivated in a standard growth chamber, with 43.

Submerged plants can thrive entirely underwater, playing a crucial role in maintaining water quality, supporting aquatic organisms, and enhancing sediment stability. However, they face multiple challenges, including reduced light availability, fluctuating water conditions, and limited nutrient access. Despite these stresses, submerged plants demonstrate remarkable resilience through physiological and biochemical adaptations.

The present study investigated the genomic and functional potential of Burkholderia contaminans PB_AQ24, a bacterial strain isolated from the municipal solid waste dumpsite, for boosting the growth of Dendrocalamus strictus (Male bamboo) seedlings. The isolated strain exhibited high potency for metal solubilization and ACC (1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) deaminase activity. Its genome harbored diverse genes responsible for nitrogen and phosphorus utilization (trpABCDES, iaaH, acdS, pstABCS, phoAUD, pqqABCDE, kdpABC, gln, and nirBD) and also an abundance of heavy metal tolerant genes (ftsH, hptX, iscX-fdx-hscAB-iscAUR, mgtA, corA, and copC).
