Background: The well-recognized but not fully explored antioxidant activity of marine-biota-
derived, biologically active substances has led to interest in their study as substitutes of …

According to the sit-and-wait hypothesis, long-term environmental survival is positively
correlated with increased bacterial pathogenicity because high durability reduces the …

Aflatoxins (AFs) are hazardous carcinogens and mutagens produced by some molds,
particularly Aspergillus spp. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to isolate and identify …

Rice is a symbol of life and a representation of prosperity in South Korea. However, studies
on the diversity of the bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of rice plants are limited. In …

One of the general consequences of stress in plants is the accumulation of reactive oxygen
(ROS) and carbonyl species (like methylglyoxal) to levels that are detrimental for plant …

The demand for healthy foods with high functional value has progressively increased.
Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) have a promising application in agriculture including the …

Halotolerant (HT) bacteria are a group of microorganisms able to thrive in environments with
relatively high salt concentrations. HT-microorganisms with plant growth-promoting (PGP) …

Massive application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been the main strategy used to
cope with the rising crop demands in the last decades. The indiscriminate use of chemicals …

Context: Marine ecosystems are sources of bioactive compounds. Thirty-eight
microorganism strains from the Cuban platform were screened, which allowed us to identify …

Salinity constitutes a major abiotic factor that negatively affects crop productivity. Inoculation
with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) is proven to increase plant tolerance to abiotic …
