A novel defined microbiological growth medium, National Botanical Research Institute's phosphate medium (NBRIP), which is more efficient than Pikovskaya (PVK), was developed for screening solubilizing microorganisms. In plate assay the efficiency of NBRIP comparable to PVK; however, in broth consistently demonstrated about 3-fold higher compared PVK. The results indicated that criterion isolation solubilizers based on formation visible halo/zone agar plates not a reliable technique, as many...
Two plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) Pseudomonas putida NBRIRA and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NBRISN13 with ability to tolerate abiotic stress along multiple PGP traits like ACC deaminase activity, minerals solubilisation, hormones production, biofilm formation, siderophore activity were evaluated for their synergistic effect ameliorate drought in chickpea. Earlier we have reported both the strains individually attributes amelioration host plants. The present study explains detail...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria NBRI0603, NBRI2601, NBRI3246 and NBRI4003 were isolated from the rhizosphere of chickpea alkaline soils. All four strains demonstrated diverse levels phosphate solubilization activity under in vitro conditions presence various carbon nitrogen sources. Acid production may have contributed to solubilization, but was not only reason for release into medium. Among strains, NBRI2601 most efficient strain terms its capability solubilize phosphorus 10% salt, pH 12,...

Rhizoctonia solani is a necrotrophic fungi causing sheath blight in rice leading to substantial loss yield. Excessive and persistent use of preventive chemicals raises human health environment safety concerns. As an alternative, biocontrol agents highly recommended. In the present study, abiotic stress tolerant, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (SN13) demonstrated act as agent enhance immune response against R. by modulating various physiological, metabolic,...
Abstract Biosynthesis of nanoparticles has gained great attention in making the process cost-effective and eco-friendly, but there are limited reports which describe interdependency physical parameters for tailoring dimension geometry during biological synthesis. In present study, gold (GNPs) various shapes sizes were obtained by modulating different using Trichoderma viride filtrate. The particles characterized on basis visual observation, dynamic light scattering, UV-visible spectroscopy,...
Previous studies with Paenibacillus lentimorbus B-30488" (hereafter referred as B-30488), a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolated from cow's milk, revealed its capabilities to improve quality under normal and stress conditions. Present study investigates potential biocontrol agent against an economically important virus, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), in Nicotiana tabacum cv. White Burley plants delineates the physical, biophysical, biochemical molecular perturbations due...
The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens-SN13 and model crop rice (Oryza sativa) were chosen to understand the complex regulatory networks that govern plant-PGPR interaction under salt stress. During stress, inoculation with SN13 significantly increased biomass, relative water content, proline total soluble sugar in while decreased lipid peroxidation electrolyte leakage. Extensive alterations gene expression also observed root transcriptome stress presence of SN13. Rhizobacteria induced changes a...
