Remediation of Polluted River Water by Biological, Chemical, Ecological and Engineering Processes (2020, background): “The plant roots provide strong and extensive rhizosphere systems, which facilitate the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, and secretion of root exudates [54,55].”
Impact of root exudates and plant defense signaling on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere. A review (2011, background): “Auxins, which are quantitatively themost abundantly secreted hormone by Azospirillum, stimulate root development, thereby promoting growth of the whole plant (Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden 2000).”
Biological nitrogen fixation in non-legume plants. (2013, background): “…bacteria such as Azospirillum and Burkholderia convert insoluble phosphorous into soluble form through acidification, secretion of organic acids or protons and chelation, thereby helping to improve phosphate nutrition in the associated plants (Sturz and Nowak, 2000; Richardson et al., 2009).”
Azospirillum amazonense inoculation: effects on growth, yield and N2 fixation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) (2008, background): “has been related to plant dry matter accumulation and stimulatory effect (Tien et al. 1979; Costacurta and Vanderleyden 1995; Steendhoudt and Vanderleyden 2000 ).”
Beneficial Soil Microorganisms, an Ecological Alternative for Soil Fertility Management (2011, background): “Most species prefer rhizosphere and root habitats, where they are commonly found, but a fraction of the population persists in bulk soil (Baldani et al. 1997; Bashan 1999; Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden 2000; Tejera et al. 2005).”
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and their potential for biocontrol of phytopathogens (2016, background): “The colonization of plant rhizosphere by Azospirillum sp., B. subtilis sp., and Pseudomonas sp., has been well studied (Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden, 2000; Trivedi et al., 2005).”
Use of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria for Biocontrol of Plant Diseases: Principles, Mechanisms of Action, and Future Prospects (2005, background): “PGPB reach root surfaces by active motility facilitated by flagella and are guided by chemotactic responses (41, 42, 112, 162, 171, 172).”
The Nodule Microbiome: N2-Fixing Rhizobia Do Not Live Alone (2017, background): “Azospirillum brasilense ﬁ xes nitrogen in association with certain nonlegumes (Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden 2000).”
Biodiversity of diazotrophic bacteria within the soil, root and stem of field-grown maize (2007, background): “In addition, the fact that diversity was especially greater in root tissues may reflect the fact that the root is the primary site where endophytes enter into plants ( Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden 2000; Lodewyckx et al. 2002; Roncato-Maccari et al. 2003).”
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria: A Critical Review (2011, methodology): “Since 1970’s, Azospirillum strains have been isolated and used [84].”
Ability of bacterium Bacillus subtilis to produce cytokinins and to influence the growth and endogenous hormone content of lettuce plants (2005, background): “reports that certain micro-organisms affect plant growth through their ability to produce phytohormones (Arshad and Frankenberger, 1991, 1998; Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden, 2000).”
Inoculation with selected strains of Azospirillum brasilense and A. lipoferum improves yields of maize and wheat in Brazil (2010, methodology): “Experiments perf rmed in Londrina and Ponta Grossa—2nd year Steenhoudt and Vanderleyden 2000; Bashan et al. 2004).”
