Profiling Rhizosphere Microbes on the Root of Maize (Zea mays) Planted in an Alfisol for Selection as Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR)

L. B. Taiwo, B. V. Ailenokhuoria & A. O. Oyedele · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2017

Maize (Zea mays L. Merill) root rhizosphere, being a metabolite-enriched niche was profiled with the objective of isolating Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for bio-fertilizer production. Isolation was carried out from the root surface and rhizosphere soil samples of t...
