Pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacteria accelerate germination, growth and yield of sugarcane clone Co86032 (Saccharum officinarum L.)

Distribution of Pink-Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs on Leaves of Vegetables

“…These bacteria are not considered to be passive passengers on plant leaves, but are known to stimulate seed germination and plant development, 2,3) and to contribute towards the aroma of strawberry. 4) In the present study, the distribution of these PPFMs on the leaves and seeds of various commercially important vegetables was studied.…”

In vitro Study of Plant Growth Promoting Methylotrophic Bacterial Consortium as a Plant Probiotics for Paddy

“…S. saprophyticus, B. subtilis and B. megaterium produced lipase where as B. methylotrophicus was capable to produce protease (Table 4.25). Madhaiyan et al, (2004b), reported induction of systemic resistance in rice cultivar Co-47 with 17.8% disease reduction through combined applications of seed imbibition and phyllosphere spray of Methylobacterium sp. and thereby reported increase in content of Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL), peroxidase, β-1,3-glucanase and chitinase activity.…”

“…Madhaiyan et al, (2005) studied the PPFM inoculation on quality of sugarcane true seed under in vitro conditions wherein inoculated seeds showed increased germination (RG) ranging between 5.14 to 7.18 suggesting that M. extorquens PPFMSo78 strain induced crop growth earlier and better.…”

Innovative Biological Solutions to Challenges in Sustainable Biofuels Production

“…This has been demonstrated in several studies with rhizobacteria. For example, different isolates of Methylobactrium have been shown to improve germination, growth and yield of sugarcane (Madhaiyan et al, 2005), and Enterobactor sp. 638 has been shown to have a pronounced influence on growth and development of poplar cuttings in marginal soils (van der .…”
