Drought in heavy metal polluted arid and semiarid regions severely inhibits the plant growth phytoremediation potential by affecting photosynthesis, antioxidant defense mechanism, other biochemical processes. In present study, we explored role of growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) on Zea mays efficiency Chromium (Cr) contaminated soils under drought stress assessing tolerance, photosynthetic gas exchange activities, chlorophyll fluorescence, Cr accumulation. Two efficient resistant PGPB with...
Environmental stress factors, such as heavy metals, salinity, and drought, have been increasing steadily over the last few decades, negative effects on plant health productivity. Under conditions, certain Pseudomonas spp. colonized roots or tissue interior can alleviate of environmental stresses by assisting nutrition acquisition, modulating hormone levels, inducing accumulation osmolytes antioxidants, up down regulating growth-related genes in plants. Though bacteria shown potential to...
Plants are often exposed to multiple stresses, including heavy metals (HM) and drought, which limit the plant growth productivity. Though biochar or growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been widely used for alleviating HM drought stress in plants, study of effects combined treatment with PGPR under simultaneous is limited. This investigated individual groundnut shell (GS-BC)
The study investigates biochar from agriculture waste and flyash coal power station as possible carrier materials for two plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacterial strains Burkholderia sp. L2 Bacillus A30 enhanced eggplant growth yield. Biochar-based biofertilizers with/without showed higher viability up to 270 days of storage period. maximum percentage seed germination was observed in L2-based + (1:1) bifertilizer. Moreover, the biochar+flyash produced a increase fruit yield with significant...
The potential of halotolerant algae isolated from natural resources was used to study CO2 fixation and algal lipid production. Biological in photobioreactor presence salinity is exploited. concentration 1060 ppm gave the highest biomass yield (700 mg dry wt/l), total content (10.33%) with 80% removal.
AuTiO 2 nanomaterial was used for solar photocatalytic disinfection of gram negative Escherichia coli and positive Staphylococci aureus.In this study, time disinfection, light intensity, concentration bacterial effects has been investigated.Prepared characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD).AuTiO samples have shown antibacterial effect when irradiated in light.The bactericidal may be due to Au ions photocatalysis TiO .The inactivation rate constant, k...
The objective of the present study was to assess combined effect plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biochar on Ricinus communis growth, physiological response, nutrient uptake soil enzyme activity. A total 16 bacterial strains isolated initially, two namely ST1NI01 ST1NI15, demonstrating maximum in vitro (PGP) potential were selected identified as Enterobacter hormaechei Bacillus thuringiensis, respectively. These isolates showed various PGP traits including production...
Majority of applied agrochemicals remain persistent in soil for long time, causing deleterious effect on and its micro-flora, resulting unproductive use agricultural lands further causes land scarcity future use. Application biochar (BC) plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) plays a vital role improved crops. The present study involves preparation biofertilizer using BC derived from hardwood forest tree birch as carrier material. For this purpose, promoting, metal drought tolerant...
The artichoke (Cynara cardunculus subsp. scolymus) is an intriguing source of indigestible sugar polymers such as inulin-type fructans. Artichoke represents important component a traditional Mediterranean diet and its edible parts are good many high added value compounds inulin, polymer showing relevant prebiotic properties. Compared to the cultivated varieties, wild cardoon (C. var. sylvestris) growing naturally under harsh conditions well-adapted marginal areas, could have potential for...
