Recruitment of bacterial endophytes by host plants
Journal Title: Novel Research in Microbiology Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Plants coupled with endophytic bacteria hold great potential for the remediation of polluted environments. The colonization patterns and activities of inoculated endophytes in the rhizosphere and endosphere of host plant are among the primary factors that may influence the phytoremediation process. However, these patterns and activities are in turn controlled by none other than the host plant itself.

The relationship and relativity between three isolates of Potato virus Y Potyvirus infecting potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) at Alexandria and El-Beheira governorates, northern Egypt
Potato virus Y (PVY) is a highly pathogenic virus, causing enormous economic losses in potato (S. tuberosum) crop. Three isolates of PVY were obtained from naturally infected potato plants showing mosaic; yellowing and v...
Biosynthesis of Copper nanoparticles using bacterial supernatant optimized with certain agro-industrial byproducts
Biosynthesis of green nanomaterials using microorganisms is considered clean, eco-friendly and viable, instead of the physical or chemical methods. This study aimed in the biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) e...
Antibiogram of bacterial species causing skin wound infections
Wounds occur when the integrity of any tissues is compromised. Infection causes significant increase in costs, morbidity, and potential mortality. This study was conducted during the period from July, 2015 to January, 2...
