Screening of Indigenous Microorganisms as Potential Biofertilisers for Periurban Horticulture Areas
(International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems SDEWES, 2020-04)
In Buenos Aires periurban area, horticultural practices are one of the most important activities. Pesticides and fertilisers are used without any control to cover the farmers´ needs, obtaining high crop yields at short ...
Plant growth promotion by Pseudomonas putida KT2440 under saline stress: role of eptA
(Springer, 2020-03)
New strategies to improve crop yield include the incorporation of plant growth-promoting bacteria in agricultural practices. The non-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is an excellent root colonizer of crops ...
Overexpression, purification, and biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of copper-containing nitrite reductase from Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011. Study of the interaction of the catalytic copper center with nitrite and NO
(Elsevier Science Inc., 2012-09)
The entire nirK gene coding for a putative copper-nitrite reductase (Nir) from Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011 (Sm) was cloned and overexpressed heterologously in Escherichia coli for the first time. The spectroscopic and ...
GeM-Pro: a tool for genome functional mining and microbial profiling
(Springer, 2019-04)
Gem-Pro is a new tool for gene mining and functional profiling of bacteria. It initially identifies homologous genes using BLAST and then applies three filtering steps to select orthologous gene pairs. The first one uses ...
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria alleviate stress by AsIII in grapevine
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Arsenic (As) in the environment is an increasing problem all over the world that limits crop yield, and therefore, remediation strategies like inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are necessary. The ...
Towards sustainable maize production: Glyphosate detoxification by Azospirillum sp. and Pseudomonas sp.
(Elsevier, 2015-08)
To contribute to more sustainable crop production, this study evaluated the capacity of Azospirillum sp. and Pseudomonas sp. to degrade glyphosate residues both invitro and invivo in maize plants (Zea mays L.) at different ...
Novel, simple and inexpensive programmed lab experiments to evaluate the biocontrol activity of rhizobacteria on fungal phytopathogens
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-12)
Despite the growing importance of agricultural microbiology at the applied, productive and ecological levels, undergraduate degrees in Agronomy generally do not feature much microbiological experimentation. To address this ...
In vitro PGPR properties and osmotic tolerance of different Azospirillum native strains and their effects on growth of maize under drought stress
(2017-09)
Osmotic variations in the soil can affect bacterial growth diminishing the number of inoculated bacteria. In a scenario of water deficit having tolerant bacteria would be beneficial to achieve a better response of the plant ...
Exploring the diversity of the root-associated microbiome of Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. (Yerba Mate)
(2017)
Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. (Yerba Mate) is an important crop for which a decrease in yields associated to unsustainable agricultural practices is well documented. The aim of this study is to investigate the diversity of ...
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain enhances rhizospheric microbial growth and reduces root and stem rot in a degraded agricultural system
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B14 to improve the quality of a degraded soil in Lerma Valley, northwestern Argentina, as well as crop growth and yield, when inoculated on ...
