The gut microbiome of humans comprises a diverse group trillions microorganisms including symbiotic organisms, opportunistic pathogens and commensal organisms. This microbiota plays major role in digesting food; it also helps with absorbing synthesizing some nutrients releases their metabolites, which may deliver variety growth-promoting growth-inhibiting factors that influence human health either directly or indirectly. balance between microbial species, especially those responsible for the...

Soil salinization is a worldwide problem that intensifying because of the effects climate change. An effective method for reclamation salt-affected soils involves initiating plant succession using fast growing, nitrogen fixing actinorhizal trees such as Casuarina. The salt tolerance Casuarina enhanced by nitrogen-fixing symbiosis they form with actinobacterium Frankia. Identification and molecular characterization salt-tolerant species associated Frankia imperative successful utilization in...
