Salinity is one of the major anthropogenic as well environmental stresses that reduce plant growth. Results show even after being adapted up to 6% sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration, all selected isolates were able solubilize phosphate, and produce phytohormones, siderophores 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase enzyme. NT1 was found exhibit highest phosphate solubilization zones (25 mm), siderophore production (1000 µg ml−1) ACC (50 µMmg−1h−1) potential under laboratory...
Many rhizobacteria isolated from plant rhizosphere produce various phytohormones in the form of secondary metabolites, most common which is Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Here, we detail analytical protocols IAA detection and quantification, vitro situ, as recently applied to Klebsiella SGM 81, a rhizobacterium Dianthus caryophyllus (a commercially important flower across globe). Specifically, describe detailed protocol for colorimetric assay using Salkowski reagent method, can be used screen...
The health of the plant and soil fertility is dependent on plant–microbes interaction in rhizosphere. Microbial life tends to endure various rhizosphere plant–microbe interactions. Phytohormones such as auxins, cytokinins, gibberellic acid, ethylene abscisic acid are termed classical group hormones. Out 70 rhizobacterial strains isolated from Coleus rhizosphere, three different Pseudomonas stutzeri MTP40, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia MTP42 putida MTP50 having growth-promoting attributes were...
Abstract Phytoremediation i.e. the use of plants to adsorb, accumulate or detoxify contaminants is an emerging area interest. A viable technology needs optimum biomass production in metal contaminated soil. Five strains microbes were selected after testing their potential as plant growth promoters, on basis phosphate solubilization ability, IAA, siderophore and HCN biocontrol potentials. They examined for synthetic medium supplemented with nickel MIC (2 mM) was determined. These isolates...
The escalating global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates the discovery novel and effective agents. In recent decades, dwindling efficacy existing drugs has propelled researchers to explore new sources for potential solutions. Endophytic actinomycetes, residing in healthy tissues plants, have captured significant attention due their ability produce diverse bioactive compounds, many which display potent activities. This review paper delves into burgeoning field endophytic...
The non-structural protein (nsp)-3 of SARS-CoV2 coronavirus is sought to be an essential target which also named as papain-like protease (PLpro). This cleaves the viral polyprotein, but importantly in human host it removes ubiquitin-like interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) from interferon responsive factor 3 (IRF3) ultimately downregulates production type I leading weakening immune response. GRL0617 most potent known inhibitor for PLpro that was initially developed SARS outbreak 2003....
Abstract There persists a constant threat from multidrug resistance being acquired by all human pathogens that challenges the well-being of humans. This phenomenon is predominantly led Pseudomonas aeruginosa which already resistant to current generations antibiotic altering its metabolic pathways survive. Specifically for this microbe quorum sensing (QS) plays crucial role in acquiring virulence and pathogenicity. QS simply cross talk between bacterial community driven signals bind...
