Culturable Bacterial Endophytes Associated With Shrubs Growing Along the Draw-Down Zone of Lake Bogoria, Kenya: Assessment of Antifungal Potential Against Fusarium solani and Induction of Bean Root Rot Protection

Priscillar Mumo Mutungi et al.

Summary: Vascular shrubs growing along the draw-down zones of saline lakes have to develop adaptive mechanisms to cope with high salinity, erratic environmental conditions, and other stresses. Microbial endophytes from these plants play an important role in plant growth, health, and survival under stressful conditions. In this study, bacterial endophytes were isolated from shrubs growing along the draw-down zone of Lake Bogoria, and their potential for biocontrol of the bean root rot pathogen, Fusarium solani, was examined. Two isolates showed promising results in controlling the pathogen and promoting plant growth.

Uncovering New Insights and Misconceptions on the Effectiveness of Phosphate Solubilizing Rhizobacteria in Plants: A Meta-Analysis

Noemie De Zutter et al.

Summary: This review introduces the mechanisms of how plants facilitate P-uptake and illustrates how phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) improve the bioavailability of phosphorous nutrients. The effectiveness of PSB on increasing plant biomass and P-uptake is assessed using meta-analysis. It is found that improved P-uptake does not always result in improved plant height and biomass. The commonly reported species for P-solubilization are outperformed by scarcely implemented Burkholderia spp. The meta-analysis also challenges the belief that PSB are less effective under field conditions compared to greenhouse conditions.

Effects of organic and chemical fertilizers on the growth, heavy metal/metalloid accumulation, and human health risk of wheat (Triticum aestivumL.)

Ilker Ugulu et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of chemical and organic fertilizers on heavy metal/metalloid accumulation in wheat samples, finding that wheat under chemical fertilizer treatment had the best growth parameters. Most heavy metal/metalloid concentrations in wheat grains were within safe limits, except for lead. The health risk index suggested that wheat grown with chemical fertilizers had higher metal content, but consumption of wheat from both organic and chemical applications was not hazardous to health.

Raquel Pastor-Bueis et al.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the agronomic performance of common beans by co-inoculating rhizobial and non-rhizobial partners. The R + P consortium significantly increased N-2 fixation and yield compared to uninoculated controls. The strong plant growth-promoting potential displayed by the P strain may have contributed to the success of the consortium.

Summary: This study investigated the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of nodule-forming rhizobial bacteria from wild chickpeas, lentils, and peas in the Gaziantep province of Turkey. The research found that pH and salt concentrations significantly affected these bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these wild species were nodulated by at least 7 groups of rhizobial bacteria, with some potentially being new species.

Diazotrophic Bacteria Pantoea dispersa and Enterobacter asburiae Promote Sugarcane Growth by Inducing Nitrogen Uptake and Defense-Related Gene Expression

Pratiksha Singh et al.

Summary: Sugarcane is a significant crop in tropical and subtropical regions, with China commonly using large amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to increase yield, leading to environmental damage. Certain rhizosphere bacteria have been found to benefit sugarcane production, with some strains showing high nitrogenase and ACC deaminase activity. Two selected strains, Pantoea dispersa-AA7 and Enterobacter asburiae-BY4, exhibited the highest plant growth promotion and nitrogenase activity. They were found to colonize different sugarcane tissues, use various growth substrates, and tolerate stress conditions. These strains could potentially be used as biofertilizers for sugarcane to mitigate the use of nitrogen fertilizers and enhance disease management.

How microbes can, and cannot, be used to assess soil health

Noah Fierer et al.

Summary: Healthy soils are crucial for the health of ecosystems, economies, and human populations. Soil health is recognized as important for assessment and guiding management strategies, but measuring it accurately, especially considering the role of microbes, poses challenges. Despite the widespread use of microbe-based metrics as indicators of soil health, many existing microbial measurements may not provide credible inferences. This review explores microbial indices used in assessing soil health and suggests ways to better utilize microbial information for relevant and actionable assessments.
