Because of their ability to transform atmospheric N2 into ammonia that can be used by the
plant, researchers were originally very optimistic about the potential of associative …

Beneficial plant–microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are primary determinants of plant
health and soil fertility. Arbuscular mycorrhizas are the most important microbial symbioses …

Nitrogen is a major nutrient that frequently limits primary productivity in terrestrial
ecosystems. Therefore, the physiological responses of plants to soil nitrogen (N) availability …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are key components of soil microbiota and obviously interact
with other microorganisms in the rhizosphere, ie the zone of influence of plant roots on …

Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum are nitrogen-fixing organisms that live in close
association with plants in the rhizosphere. The Azospirillum-plant association leads to the …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is carried out by representatives of various bacterial
phylogeneticgroups named diazotrophs. These bacteria can live free in many ecosystems …

The potential enhancement of root growth and nodulation in vegetable soybean (AGS190)
was studied with application of Azospirillum brasilense (Sp7) and A. lipoferum (CCM3863) …

Background and aims Many plant-beneficial microorganisms can influence secondary plant
metabolism, but whether these effects add up when plants are co-inoculated is unclear. This …

7 Conclusions In summary, it can be concluded that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and
specific rhizosphere bacteria interact to improve plant nutrient (mainly N and P) cycling, as …

Combined inoculation of potted common bean plants with Rhizobium and Azospirillum
significantly increased both upper and total nodule number and N2-fixation as compared …
