Chemical factors that affect bacterial growth: Nutrition How microbe acquire nutrients. C, H, O, N, S, P, Ca, Mg, etc Carbon: Autotroph: producers, photosynthetic, use CO2 and H2O, sunlight as energy, make their own food Heterotroph: require preformed food, digestive and absorptive, most ...

Factors affecting microbial growth Key messages Temperature, pH, water activity and oxygen tension are the principal factors affecting microbial growth There are optimum ranges for these parameters These optima are interdependent They can be selected to inhibit the growth of certain organisms within limits...
Plant nutrition is affected by a combination of rhizobial inoculant and soil edaphic factors. A Experimental design for growth and harvesting of soil, microbe and plant material. Seeds were germinated in plates for 2 days and moved to perlite pots, inoculated 1 day later, then moved to soil ...
The growing technological advancement coupled with the development of microbial extract-based biostimulants such as rhizobacterial and fungal metabolites that promote productive colonization of beneficial microbes has been an increasing parallel for the market growth by providing enhanced nitrogen fixation, pat...

A novel use of nanotitania (TNs) as agents in the nanointerface interaction between plants and colonization of growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is presented. The effectiveness of PGPRs is related to the effectiveness of the technology used for their formulation. TNs produced by the Captigel ...
(model HI 9829 – Multiparameter, USA) and maintained throughout the study period at: temperature, 27.5–31.1 °C; pH, 8–8.4; dissolved oxygen, 5.1–6.2 ppm; and salinity, 39.9–41.7 ppt. HANNA instrument 733 Ammonia High Range was used to measure ammonia to be 0–0.01 ppm during the...
