Soybean interactions with soil microbes, agronomical and molecular aspects (2011, background): “Several polymers have been investigated and include alginate (Bashan et al., 2002), xanthan gum (Denardin and Freire, 2000) and polyacrylamide gels (Dommergues et al., 1979).”
Advances in plant growth-promoting bacterial inoculant technology: formulations and practical perspectives (1998–2013) (2014, background): “Diagrams of procedures are available (Bashan et al. 2002; de-Bashan et al. 2004; de-Bashan and Bashan 2010).”
Carrier-based Preparations of Plant Growth-promoting Bacterial Inoculants Suitable for use in Cooler Regions (2005, background): “Due to the limitations of direct inoculation and the use of various solid-phase bacterial inoculants, several polymer-based formulations, such as alginate beads, wet and dry alginate microbeads and gum-arabic preparations of bacterial species like Azospirillum brasilense Cd, Pseudomonas fluorescens,”
Mitigation of salt stress in wheat seedlings by a gfp-tagged Azospirillum lipoferum (2004, methodology): “Awheat cultivar (Triticum aestivum cv. Rayon), whose growth is promoted by inoculation with Azospirillum spp. (Bashan et al. 2002; Bacilio et al. 2003), served as a model.”
Alginate from the macroalgae Sargassum sinicola as a novel source for microbial immobilization material in wastewater treatment and plant growth promotion (2007, methodology): “, 2004) has been immobilized in macrobeads (1–4 mm diameter), together with the green microalga Chlorella species for environmental uses (Gonzalez & Bashan, 2000), and in microbeads (200 μm diameter) for agriculture purposes (Bashan, 1986, 1998; Bashan et al., 2002).”
Mechanisms Used by Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (2011, background): “Longer bacterial survival of PSB may be achieved by cell encapsulation inside nontoxic polymers such as alginate that increase the shelf life of the bacteria, protect them against many environmental stresses, and release them to the soil gradually (Bashan and Gonzalez 1999; Bashan et al. 2002).”
Legume seed inoculation technology—a review (2004, background): “Despite the relative success of polymer encapsulated cells in improving survival, the technology has not been adopted by the inoculant industry because of the high cost of increased technical handling (Fages, 1992; Bashan et al., 2002).”
Effect of immobilized phosphate solubilizing bacteria on wheat growth and phosphate uptake (2013, background): “Encapsulation did not inhibit the beneficial effect of rhizobacteria (Bashan et al., 2002).”
Coimmobilization of Azospirillum lipoferum and Bacillus megaterium for Successful Phosphorus and Nitrogen Nutrition of Wheat Plants (2005, background): “In the last few years, several new inocula formulations have been proposed including alginate and agar immobilization inoculants ( 14 ,15).”
A review on plant growth promoting rhizobacteria acting as bioinoculants and their biological approach towards the production of sustainable agriculture (2015, background): “Alginate beads generally have a diameter of 2-3mm, but microbeads with a size of 50 to 200µm that can entrap up to 108 to 109 CFUg−1 have also been proposed (Bashan et al., 2002).”
