PPFM |Methylobacterium | PINK PIGMENTED FACULTATIVE METHYLOTROPS | 1 Kg
₹799.00
- Phytohormone production: Secretes plant growth regulators like auxins and cytokinins to boost root growth and seed germination.
- Nutrient support: Fixes atmospheric nitrogen and helps solubilize phosphates.
- Stress tolerance: Helps crops survive drought conditions and extreme temperatures.
- Biocontrol: Suppresses harmful pathogens and protects plant health
Product Details
- Bacteria belonging to the genus Methylobacterium, popularly known as pink pigmented facultative methylotrophic (PPFM) bacteria, are well known for their distinct ability to use single-carbon compounds like methanol, formate and formaldehyde, and also a variety of multi-carbon substrates lacking carbon-carbon bonds. These bacterial groups are ubiquitously distributed, especially in phyllosphere and rhizosphere, and their occurrence have been reported in more than 100 species of plants so far. PPFMs have profound influence on soil fertility, crop growth and yield. The ability for phosphate acquisition, nitrogen fixation, iron chelation and phytohormone production indicate the possibility of developing them as promising biofertilizer candidates. In addition, many of them possess biocontrol activity against several phytopathogens. PPFMs induce several physiological changes in plants, making the plants more resistant to biotic and abiotic stress. They can therefore be promising alternatives to conventional chemical inputs in sustainable agricultural systems.
Item specifics
- Phyllosphere harbours large, complex and dynamic communities of microorganisms, where bacteria constitute the dominant microbial inhabitants. It forms a significant microbial habitat that supports organisms of diverse nutritional and physiological requirements. The leaf surface area of terrestrial plants possibly be occupied by microbes is reported to be around 6.4 × 108 km2, that would harbour bacterial populations of about 1026 cells. Plants are potential reservoir of structurally and functionally diverse natural compounds ranging from quite simple esters to more complex molecules like carbohydrates, polyketides, flavanoids, lignans, terpenoids, alkaloids, and tannins.
