Siderophores are synthesized and secreted by many bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and plants for
Fe (III) chelation. A variety of plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) colonize the …

This review covers the literature data on plant growth-promoting bacteria in soil, which can
fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphates, produce and secrete siderophores, and …

Endophytes are abundant in plants and studies are continuously emanating on their ability
to protect plants from pathogens that cause diseases especially in the field of agriculture …

Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Nitrogenase is the only known biological enzyme capable of reducing N2 to bioavailable
NH3. Most nitrogenases use Mo as a metallocofactor, while alternative cofactors V and Fe …

Stressor (biotic as well as abiotic) generally hijack the plant growth and yield characters in
hostile environment leading to poor germination of the plants and yield. Among the plant …

In order to address the ever-increasing problem of the world's population food needs, the
optimization of farming crops yield, the combat of iron deficiency in plants (chlorosis) and the …

Nitrogenase harbors three distinct metal prosthetic groups that are required for its activity.
The simplest one is a [4Fe-4S] cluster located at the Fe protein nitrogenase component. The …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), a key reaction of the nitrogen cycle, is catalyzed by the
enzyme nitrogenase. The best studied isoform of this metalloenzyme requires molybdenum …

Microorganisms play a dominant role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients. They are
rightly praised for their facility for fixing both carbon and nitrogen into organic matter, and …
