Endophytic bacteria of garlic roots promote growth of micropropagated meristems

Probiotic Endophytes for More Sustainable Banana Production

“…Our research group has studied black Sigatoka from two scientific approaches to reduce the impact of black Sigatoka in bananas: a) the biochemistry and physiology of P. fijiensis and b) the endophytic bacteria populations and their usefulness as probiotics in commercial plantations of Colima and Jalisco, Mexico [ 5 , 18 , 116 , 117 , 118 ]. First, we proposed E. cloacae , which is widely distributed in banana plants and seeds [ 18 , 30 , 119 , 120 ], as a keystone member of the microbial community of these plants. This endophyte serves as a plant-growth promoter, contributes to banana plant nutrition and imparts fungal disease tolerance [ 33 , 80 , 100 , 110 ].…”

“…Additionally, when the plantation transitioned to organic management, the applications of commercial plant extracts (e.g., Banacore ® , Biotika Gober ® and Timorex Gold ® ) were reduced by 40–50%. The probiotic inoculant is currently patent pending (PCT/Mx2021/000006 and MX/a/2021/002192) [ 119 ].…”

A systematic assessment of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) application for rapid identification of pathogenic microbes that affect food crops: delivered and future deliverables

“…Their study revealed that 43 bacterial isolates that cluster with Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Ewingella, Bacillus, Rahnella, Serratia, Yokenella, Enterobacter, Yersinia, Raoultella, and Klebsiella species, and most of them possessed plant growth promoting (PGP) activities through nitrogen xation, phosphate solubilization, and siderophores production. In another study, Tani et al, 91 studied methylotrophs diversity by isolating them from 115 plant species on methanol agar plates and identifying them using whole-cell MALDI MS otherwise called WS MS. Apart from that, Sura-de Jong et al, 92 93 elucidated the cultivable diversity of endophytic bacteria that showed a very promising effect on the growth of garlic plants (Allium sativum L.). 93 The organisms subjected to the analysis (N = 48) were distinctively grouped into 11 groups based on the mass signatures and 54.2% (26 isolates) and 16.7% (8 isolates) were reliably identi-ed at the species and genus level respectively based on their score values demarked by Bruker, (2019).…”

“…The authors claimed that the technology identified 16.67% and 34.85% respectively to genus and species level, accurately (Sulistiyani et al , 2018). Using ultraflex Xtreme mass spectrometer (Microflex-Bruker Daltonics/BioTyper™), Junior et al 93 elucidated the cultivable diversity of endophytic bacteria that showed a very promising effect on the growth of garlic plants ( Allium sativum L.). 93 The organisms subjected to the analysis ( N = 48) were distinctively grouped into 11 groups based on the mass signatures and 54.2% (26 isolates) and 16.7% (8 isolates) were reliably identified at the species and genus level respectively based on their score values demarked by Bruker, (2019).…”
