Evaluation of water stress and co-inoculation of Azospirillum brasilense and Rhizobium tropici in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris l)

Climate change has caused major changes in abiotic factors, with water stress as the greatest threat to agricultural production. The measures aimed at alleviating the problems caused by this limiting production factor have occurred through the adoption of sustainable strategies, especially microbial biot...

The Bradyrhizobium uaiense strain UFLA 03-164T enhanced yield performance of cowpea in soils with low or high phosphorus content

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic efficiency of rhizobia strains already approved or in the selection stage for cowpea, in the Recôncavo da Bahia region, Brazil. Two field experiments were performed in the municipalities of Cruz das Almas and Maragogipe, Bahia, Brazil. A randomiz...

Productivity and growth in cowpea inoculated with rhizobia under different light environments

Biosci. j. (Online); 37 (), 2021
The objective of this work was to verify the influence of light environments combined with rhizobia inoculation on cowpea growth and productivity. A completely random design was used in a 4x4 factorial scheme, with four light environments, four nitrogen sources and eight replicates in split plot parcels....

Respiration in Azotobacter vinelandii and its relationship with the synthesis of biopolymers

Azotobacter vinelandii is a gram-negative soil bacterium that produces two biopolymers of biotechnological interest, alginate and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), and it has been widely studied because of its capability to fix nitrogen even in the presence of oxygen. This bacterium is characterized by its high r...

Characterization of bacterial endophytes from the roots of native and cultivated Brazil nut trees (Bertholletia excelsa)

Acta amaz; 49 (4), 2019
Brazil nut is a very important nontimber forest product in the Amazon region. Propagation of this tree still represents a challenge due to slow and uneven seed germination. In this context, plant growth-promoting bacteria can facilitate the process of propagation. The aims of this study were to isolate a...

Changes induced by co-inoculation in nitrogen-carbon metabolism in cowpea under salinity stress

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT To mitigate the deleterious effects of abiotic stress, the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria along with diazotrophic bacteria has been increasing. The objectives of this study were to investigate the key enzymes related to nitrogen and carbon metabolism in the biological nitrogen fixation p...

Situación de las legumbres en Chile: Una mirada agronómica

Rev. chil. nutr; 45 (supl.1), 2018
RESUMEN Las legumbres juegan un rol fundamental en la agricultura moderna; su inclusión en los sistemas agrícolas permite hacer un uso más sostenible de los recursos, ya que mejoran la fertilidad de los suelos, reducen la dependencia a los fertilizantes químicos al fijar el nitrógeno del aire, favor...

Desarrollo de un sistema de fermentación líquida y de enquistamiento para una bacteria fijadora de nitrógeno con potencial como biofertilizante

Rev. argent. microbiol; 49 (3), 2017
El uso indiscriminado de fertilizantes químicos ha contribuido al deterioro de las propiedades biológicas, físicas y químicas del suelo, lo que derivó en la pérdida de su capacidad productiva. Por esta razón, se ha planteado como alternativa tecnológica el uso de biofertilizantes. El objetivo de ...

Effects of monosulfuron-ester on metabolic processes of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria Anabaena flos-aquae and Anabaena azotica

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (3), 2017
Abstract Presence of the relatively new sulfonylurea herbicide monosulfuron-ester at 0.03-300 nmol/L affected the growth of two non-target nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (Anabaena flos-aquae and Anabaena azotica) and substantially inhibited in vitro Acetolactate synthase activity, with IC50 of 3.3 and 101...

Tricalcium phosphate solubilization and nitrogen fixation by newly isolated Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus CKMV1 from rhizosphere of Valeriana jatamansi and its growth promotional effect

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus strain CKMV1 was isolated from rhizosphere of Valeriana jatamansi and possessed multiple plant growth promoting traits like production of phosphate solubilization (260 mg/L), nitrogen fixation (202.91 nmol ethylene mL-1 h-1), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (8.1 µg/m...
