ABSTRACT Rhizobia and associative bacteria promote growth in rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) through a series of mechanisms, but most studies on inoculation have been performed based on inoculation with these bacteria in a separate or singular manner. The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of single/isolated inoculation and inoculation combined with symbiotic rhizobia from forage legume and with Azospirillum brasilense on promoting growth and the root colonization process in wetland rice. Two rhizobia among four isolates […]

Auxin-producing bacteria inhabit the roots of orchids and can bring benefits to the host plant. Plants of this family are multiplied by in vitro assimbiotic conditions and little is known about the role of these microorganisms for ex vitro acclimatization. Four auxin-producing rhizobacteria isolated from the specie Cattleya walkeriana were evaluated for their ability to promote survival and growth of in vitro germinated plantlets during ex vitro acclimatization. Partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes of bacteria cultures from root […]
