Knowledge on biodiversity is fundamental for conservation strategies. The Brazilian Pampa region, located in subtropical southern Brazil, neglected terms of conservation, and knowledge its fragmented. We aim to answer the question: how many, which, species occur Pampa? In a collaborative effort, we built lists plants, animals, bacteria, fungi that Pampa. included information distribution patterns, main habitat types, status. Our study resulted referenced totaling 12,503 (12,854 taxa, when...
Plant growth-promoting bacteria can greatly assist sustainable farming by improving plant health and biomass while reducing fertilizer use. The plant-microorganism-environment interaction is an open complex system, despite the active research in area, patterns root ecology are elusive. Here, we simultaneously analyzed datasets from seven independent studies that shared a methodology for bioprospection phenotype screening. soil richness of isolate's origin was classified Principal Component...

The nature of the soil is shaped by presence roots and microbiota. Bacteria, archaea fungi profoundly alter plant growth and, in turn, depend on root exudation carbon-rich energy-yielding compounds. microbial communities act as facilitators processes secreting regulators, solubilizing minerals, providing N for growth, altering immune responses competing with pathogens. Characterizing engineering driven multiple taxa that make [...]

Os rizóbios, conhecidos por sua capacidade de fixar N2 em associação com leguminosas, também se mostram capazes promover o crescimento não-leguminosas, especialmente pela produção ácido indol-acético (AIA). Neste trabalho, objetivou-se selecionar rizóbios produtores AIA e avaliar efeito diferentes concentrações deste fitormônio sobre a germinação desenvolvimento inicial plântulas alface. Foram selecionados quatro isolados Bradyrhizobium sp. um isolado Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii,...
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are recognised for inhibiting pathogens and increasing plant biomass yield. This study aims to evaluate the antagonistic potential of Bacillus subtilis F62 against fungal diseases tomatoes investigates its capability promoting growth tomato seedlings using single-strain inoculation co-inoculation with Rhizobium sp. L5. The in vitro antagonism B. Alternaria sp., Botrytis Fusarium Stemphylium was assessed through dual-culture volatile compounds...
In the last decades, use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria has become an alternative to improve crop production. Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii is one most promising and even used with non-legume plants. This study investigated in vitro occurrence characteristics several indigenous R. isolated from soils State Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Isolates were obtained at 11 locations evaluated for indoleacetic acid siderophore production inorganic phosphate solubilization. Ten isolates...
Abstract BACKGROUND In the current agricultural model, massive use of chemical fertilizer causes environmental and economic losses. Inoculation plant‐growth‐promoting ( PGP ) nitrogen‐fixing bacteria is an alternative to nitrogen, phosphorus potassium fertilizers. this study, rhizobia strains isolated from common bean Phaseolus vulgaris root nodules were evaluated in effort identify efficient strain able improve germination growth. RESULTS Common plants collected seven sites southern Brazil,...
