The negative environmental impact due to the excessive use of chemical products on agricultural crops is mitigated by using plant growth-promoting microorganisms, including bacteria and beneficial fungi associated to plant roots. Microorganisms could play a significant role in this respect due to their genetic diversity, ubiquity, interaction with crop plants and properties of tolerance to extremities. Therefore the microbial biodiversity and its effect on soil quality; soil nutrient cycling; plant growth promotion is considered a hub of attention for bio prospection studies as an alternative to favor sustainable agriculture. The biodiversity of bacteria were deciphered from different sites in “Sierra Gorda” highlands, considered Reserve of Biosphere, in the download region of Central Mexico, known as Bajío. Culturable bacteria were isolated from soil rhizosphere sa.. View More»
