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