| Popis: | The microbial community inhabits plants on the surface as well as inside the plant tissues as epiphytes and endophytes, respectively. The endophytic microbial community is not recovered as epiphytic microbial communities, but both are playing a very important role in plant growth promotion and as a unique biofertilizer for agricultural fields. These microbial communities are associated with several plant growth-promoting attributes and therefore enhance plant growth and agricultural yields. The endophytic bacterial and fungal communities are isolated from different plant parts by taking plant tissues during isolation processes. Stem tissues, leaf tissues and mostly roots are taken for the recovery and isolation of endophytic microorganisms. Endophytic microorganisms are very unique in their functionality and abundance. High GC-containing bacterial communities (actinomycetes), low GC-containing bacteria (firmicutes) and methylotrophic bacterial and fungal communities are generally present as endophytes in the plant tissues. The current compilation will emphasize the role of the above-said microbial communities as biofertilizers in agricultural fields as well as their abundance. The antiquity about different microbial endophytes will provide an insight to elaborate their effect, promotion and sustainability to agriculture. |
