There is an ongoing hunt for biologically-active compounds that can combat phytopathogenic fungi and improve plant growth without causing any hazards to the environment. Consequently present study aims at deciphering promotion antifungal capability of Lysinibacilluys sphaericus ZA9. The bacterium was previously isolated identified in our laboratory from maize rhizosphere using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. test Lysinibacillus ZA9 found produce high quantity IAA (697 µg/ mL); siderophores (195.79...

Silicate solubilizing bacteria (SSB) can play an efficient role in soil by insoluble forms of silicates. In addition to this some SSB also solubilize potassium and phosphates, hence increasing fertility enhancing plant defense mechanisms. A total 111 bacterial strains were isolated from various habitats Pakistan screened for solubilization silicate, phosphate on respective media. Out these, 35 isolates capable either or potassium. Amongst these 7 all three minerals tested. The highest...

In order to increase the shelf life for long distance transportation of milk, formalin is added as an adulterant milk. That highly toxic causes liver and kidney damages. A new Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIR) combined with multivariate analysis was developed detect well quantify level adulteration in cow this study four different types milk samples were collected from Nizwa regions Sultanate Oman investigated. Those then adulterated at eight percentage levels: 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 11%,...

Abstract Urea is added as an adulterant to give milk whiteness and increase its consistency for improving the solid not fat percentage, but excessive amount of urea in causes overburden kidney damages. Here, innovative sensitive methodology based on near‐infrared spectroscopy coupled with multivariate analysis has been proposed robust detection quantification adulteration fresh samples. In this study, 162 samples were used, those consisting 20 nonadulterated (without urea) 142 adulterant....

Thirty rhizobacteria isolated from maize grown in Pakistani and Indonesian soils were evaluated for their morphological characteristics, nitrogen fixation, P-solubilization, indole acetic acid (IAA) siderophores production. Nitrogenase activity was detected nineteen isolates ranging 21.8-3624 n moles C2H4 produced/h/mg protein. Most of the produced IAA, ten capable siderophore production while four P-solubilizers. Ultrastructural studies Pseudomonas sp. F14 indicated characteristic...
