Abstract:Purpose: To evaluate the in vitro metabolic compartmentalization between strains of actinobacteria and rhizobia isolated from Brazilian semiarid soils and observe the effect of their coinoculation on the development of cowpea plants.
Theoretical Framework: The study is based on the importance of microbial interactions in soil, such as metabolite and enzyme sharing, for nutrient cycling and plant growth promotion.
Method: Twenty-six rhizobial strains and 23 actinobacteria were cocult… Show more
