Pseudomonas fluorescens
Suppresses soil pathogens, promotes plant growth.
Azospirillum
Nitrogen fixation in non-legumes, promotes growth by producing phytohormones.
Azotobacter
Nitrogen fixation, secreting growth-promoting substances.
Rhizobium
Nitrogen fixation in legumes, forming root nodules.
Beauveria bassiana
Bioinsecticide against various insect pests.
Lactobacillus plantarum
Enhances silage quality, promotes plant health and defense mechanisms.
Nitrobacter
Nitrification, converts nitrites into nitrates for plant uptake.
Streptomyces
Antifungal properties, source of antibiotics and plant growth promoters.
Bacillus thuringiensis
Biological pesticide against caterpillars and other insects.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Biological control against post-harvest diseases, used in bioethanol production.
Trichoderma
Controls fungal pathogens through mycoparasitism.
Endophytes
Plant stress tolerance, produces secondary metabolites with bioactive properties.
Mycorrhiza
Enhances plant nutrient absorption, increases resistance to pathogens.
Paenibacillus polymyxa
Biofertilizer, promotes growth, and improves soil fertility.
Metarhizium anisopliae
Biocontrol for insects, affects locusts and beetles.
Nitrosomonas
Ammonification, converts ammonia into nitrites for plant use.
Bacillus subtilis
Biopesticide, elicits plant's immune response, promotes healthy plant growth.
Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus
Nitrogen fixation in sugarcane and other crops, enhances plant nutrient uptake.
Agrobacterium radiobacter
Prevents crown gall disease by competing with pathogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Frankia
Nitrogen fixation in non-leguminous plants, forms actinorhizal root nodules.
