The positive impact of microbial inoculants on plants is well documented. In this study, we examined two rice varieties - PB 1509 (lowland) and Satyabhama (upland) - to investigate the effects of co-inoculating AMF and Pseudomonas protegens strain Ekn 03, under aerobic conditions. Co-inoculation with Pseudomonas protegens Ekn 03 significantly enhanced root mycorrhizal colonization in both varieties, while also increasing root surface area. In dually inoculated plants, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, and root dry weight were 28.5%, 87.5%, and 22.2% higher, respectively, compared to non-inoculated control plants. Dually inoculated plants showed a 31.6% increase in chlorophyll content compared to control plants. Nitrate reductase (NR) activity was 28% higher in dually inoculated plants, comparable to those treated with RDF. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between plant biomass, NR, and glutamine synthetase (GS) activity. This tripartite association improves phosphorus and nitrogen acquisition, indicating the potential for reduced chemical input use, with P. protegens Ekn 03 identified as an effective PGPR.

Toxoflavin, a toxic secondary metabolite produced by a variety of bacteria, has been implicated as a causative agent in food poisoning and a virulence factor in phytopathogenic bacteria. This toxin is produced by genes encoded in the operon in , in which the encoded protein, ToxD, was previously characterized as essential for toxoflavin production. To better understand the function of ToxD in toxoflavin biosynthesis and provide a basis for future work to develop inhibitors of ToxD, we undertook the identification of structurally and catalytically important amino acid residues through a combination of X-ray crystallography and site directed mutagenesis.

Hydrocarbon fuel biofouling and biocorrosion require expensive cleanup of aviation infrastructures unless appropriate sustainment measures are applied. The identification of novel biological control agents offers promising alternatives to the current chemical biocides used in fuel sustainment. In this study, 496 microbial fuel isolates from our in-house repository were screened to identify new endogenously produced antimicrobial compounds.

The larvae of the black soldier fly (BSFL), Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), are exposed to a diverse range of microorganisms within their feeding substrate that is mainly composed of decaying organic matter. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of an interaction with a Gram-negative bacterium, Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5, on the immune responses of the larvae of H.

Sphingoid bases, including sphingosine, are important components of the antimicrobial barrier at epithelial surfaces where they can cause growth inhibition and killing of susceptible bacteria. is a common opportunistic pathogen that is less susceptible to sphingosine than many Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we determined that the deletion of the operon reduced growth in the presence of sphingosine.
