[Part 4] Multi-Role Microbes in Agriculture: Pseudomonas fluorescens
What is Pseudomonas fluorescens? Pseudomonas spp. are bacterial species ubiquitous in agricultural soils, well adapted to growing in the rhizosphere and well suited as biocontrol and growth-promoting agents (Weller et al., 2007). Pseudomonas spp. rapidly utilize root and seed exudates, multiply in rhizosphere and spermoshphere environment and in the interior of the plants, produce a […]
[Part 3] Multi-Role Microbes in Agriculture: Bacillus spp.
What is Bacillus spp.? Bacillus spp. group of bacteria have own acronym as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), form a biofilm on plant root to promote plant growth and provide defensive action to fending off plant pathogens(George H, 2019). The population of B. subtilis, B. licheniformis and B. velezensis are the most common ones and […]
[Part 2] Multi-Role Microbes in Agriculture: Trichoderma spp
What is Trichoderma spp.? Trichoderma spp. are genus of fungi commonly found in endophytic plant symbionts, grows along the outermost root surface, and feeds on soil microbes attracted to the root system. This fungus grows with root intercellular spaces, coordinates plant defense system and widely used to control disease, enhance plant growth, and improve the […]
