Evaluation of the microbial risks associated with duckweed cultivation on agro-industrial wastewaters
… sector is one of the biggest consumers of plant protein, with 70% being directed to pig and poultry feed alone. It is a challenge for the sector to meet this demand, resulting in a reliance on imported soy protein in several countries. Duckweed species are free floating freshwater plants …

Impact of free-living diazotrophs, Azospirillum lipoferum and Gluconacetobacter azotocaptans, on growth and nitrogen utilization by wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Lillian)
Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant nutrient, widely applied as N-fertilizer to improve yields of agriculturally important crops. An alternative to fertilizer use could be the exploitation of plant growth-promoting bacteria, capable of enhancing growth and yield of many plant species. Azospirillum …
