O beneficiamento do couro bovino gera resíduos que podem ser reutilizados em alguns manejos agrícolas como nas correções de solo e na adubação, ao invés de serem descartados em aterros sanitários, viabilizando uma destinação ambientalmente adequada. Entretanto, na sua composição podem apresentar elementos químicos que, em elevada concentração pode ...
Abstract: Microbial crop protection products based on Trichoderma have the ability to display multifunctional roles in plant protection, such as pathogen parasitism, enhance nutrient availability and stimulate plant growth, and these traits can be used to enhance the overall agronomic performance of a variety of crops. In the current study, we expl...

Endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria are versatile and widely distributed in plants. Numerous strains of endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria are used as biofertilizers to minimize the utilization of chemical fertilizers, improve nutrient use efficiency, increase crop productivity, and reduce environmental pollution. However, the mechanism underlying...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar numa escala temporal, os efeitos de doses de biofertilizante sobre as variáveis relacionadas às trocas gasosas e bioquímicas em três variedades de melancia cultivadas em sistema orgânico no semiárido nordestino. O experimento foi conduzido no campo experimental de Bebedouro (CEB) da EMBRAPA Semiárido em Petroli...

Highly varied bacterial communities inhabiting the soybean rhizosphere perform important roles in its growth and production; nevertheless, little is known about the changes that occur in these communities under disease-stress conditions. The present study investigated the bacterial diversity and their metabolic profile in the rhizosphere of disease...

Microorganisms act as both the source and sink of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, thus making a significant contribution to the environment as an important driver of climate change. The rhizosphere and phyllosphere of plants growing in natural (mangroves) and artificial wetlands (flooded agricultural ecosystems) harbor methane-utilizing bacteria ...

Phosphorus (P) shortage in the soil is a key problem in agricultural output. Phytate (Myo-inositol phosphate), which is stable and unavailable to plants, is abundant in soils, accounting for up to 50% of all organic P. The conversion of phytate to Myo-inositol and phosphate is catalyzed by phytases. Microorganisms that solubilize P, biofertilizers,...

Soil is an integral part of the ecosystem because it serves as a habitat for various microorganisms and lays the foundation for supporting plant growth and development. Therefore, factors such as increased anthropogenic activities hand by hand with other natural processes that harm the ecosystem may eventually lead to a decline in soil quality and ...

Drought stress is among the most destructive stresses for agricultural productivity. It interferes with normal metabolic activities of the plants resulting, a negative impact on physiology and morphology of the plants. The management of drought stress requires various adaptive and alleviation strategies in which stress adaptive microbiomes are exqu...
Yeasts are potential plant-growth-promoting microbes; however, this resource is underexploited, mainly in the semiarid regions worldwide. In the present study, we isolated potentially endophytic yeasts from roots of fieldgrown maize and characterized them at molecular, biochemical, and associative levels. Thirteen yeasts were retrieved, and the ITS...
