The use of biofertilizers, including biocontrol agents such as Pseudomonas and Bacillus in
agriculture can increase soil characteristics and plant acquisition of nutrients and …

Phosphate‐solubilizing microbes (PSMs) drive the biogeochemical cycling of phosphorus
(P) and hold promise for sustainable agriculture. However, their global distribution, overall …

Pseudomonas isolates have frequently been isolated from the rhizosphere of plants, and
several of them have been reported as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. In the present …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) currently ranks second in the world's production of grain
legumes and it is considered a cheap source of plant-based protein. In Mediterranean …

Agriculture producers, pushed by the need for high productivity, have stimulated the
intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers. Unfortunately, negative effects on water, soil, and …

One way to deal with the expected increase in world population and the concomitant need to
globally feed a large number of additional people is to increase agricultural productivity …

The aims of this study were to isolate, identify and characterize culturable endophytic
bacteria from chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) roots grown in different soils. In addition, the …

The increasing human population expected in the next decades, the growing demand of
livestock products—which production requires higher amounts of feed products fabrication …

Climate change prediction indicates an increased likelihood of precipitation variability and
droughts in the Mediterranean region. Previous studies demonstrated that microbial …

Mesorhizobium contains species widely known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria with legumes, but
their ability to promote the growth of non-legumes has been poorly studied. Here, we …
