“…The addition of large amounts of data would lead microbiologists to more opportunities to conduct research in agriculture, medicine, and environments where the uniqueness of the microorganisms would lead to enhanced production of yield, immunization of host system, prevention and treatment of infectious disease, and reducing the infection in our environment, especially in a hospital. (Anand et al, 2022;Caselli, 2017). As a result, this can reinforce the importance of databases in managing large amounts of data by minimizing data redundancy to avoid storage, energy, and cost waste.…”

Microbiology research is one of the research fields that deal with a huge volume of microbial culture collection data which needs to be preserved, due to its importance as a key resource center for obtaining, identifying, producing, preserving, cataloging, and distributing culture data of various microbes. Currently, the collection and storing of microbial culture data is performed manually via various data transfers into record books, logbooks, or spreadsheets. However, the manual process seems to be impractical as it is highly prone to human error and time-consuming, aside from the struggle of managing and retrieving the data. Therefore, to address this issue, we have successfully designed and developed a customized database for microbial data collection that allows users to store, access, visualize and retrieve information in a single platform. The agile development approach has been implemented during the software development process allowing more flexibility during the development phase yet managing to fulfill the functional requirements of the end-users. The front end is created using the Bootstrap framework, an open-source and powerful platform for developing user-friendly web pages and web applications. It is connected to the back-end MySQL database as a relational database management system to organize structured data. As a result, the developed microbial culture collection has eliminated manual data entry and accelerated the data retrieval process. The platform is a one-stop platform for microbiologists when dealing with microbial culture collection data.

“…The global and future expansion of the biofertilizer market will largely be driven by the need to increase food production sustainably. With an ever-increasing demand for organic food products, growing awareness of sustainable agricultural practices, and promotion of cleaner production methods for reducing soil contamination, land degradation, and water pollution the market growth for biofertilizers will continue to grow over the coming years (Abhilash et al, 2016a;Anand et al, 2022;Vaishnav et al, 2022).…”

“…US$5 billion by 2031 (Transparency Market Research, 2022). The number of investigations targeting the isolation, identification, and evaluation of the capacity of PGPR with the potential of being transformed into inoculants for a variety of crops is equally expanding (Vatsyayan and Ghosh, 2013;Datta et al, 2015;Tan et al, 2015;Koskey et al, 2017;Anand et al, 2022;Aloo et al, 2022b). It is, therefore, realistic to expect that widespread biofertilizer usage will soon offer countless approaches to the progression of sustainable crop production systems.…”

Recent decades have witnessed increased agricultural production to match the global demand for food fueled by population increase. Conventional agricultural practices are heavily reliant on artificial fertilizers that have numerous human and environmental health effects. Cognizant of this, sustainability researchers and environmentalists have increased their focus on other crop fertilization mechanisms. Biofertilizers are microbial formulations constituted of indigenous plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that directly or indirectly promote plant growth through the solubilization of soil nutrients, and the production of plant growth-stimulating hormones and iron-sequestering metabolites called siderophores. Biofertilizers have continually been studied, recommended, and even successfully adopted for the production of many crops in the world. These microbial products hold massive potential as sustainable crop production tools, especially in the wake of climate change that is partly fueled by artificial fertilizers. Despite the growing interest in the technology, its full potential has not yet been achieved and utilization still seems to be in infancy. There is a need to shed light on the past, current, and future prospects of biofertilizers to increase their understanding and utility. This review evaluates the history of PGPR biofertilizers, assesses their present utilization, and critically advocates their future in sustainable crop production. It, therefore, updates our understanding of the evolution of PGPR biofertilizers in crop production. Such information can facilitate the evaluation of their potential and ultimately pave the way for increased exploitation.
