Role of bacterial biofertilizers in agriculture and forestry
- P. García-Fraile, E. Menéndez, Raúl Rivas
- Biology
- 3 August 2015
Many rhizospheric bacterial strains possess plant growth-promoting mechanisms. These bacteria can be applied as biofertilizers in agriculture and forestry, enhancing crop yields. Bacterial… Expand
Use of Rhizobium leguminosarum as a potential biofertilizer for Lactuca sativa and Daucus carota crops
- J. D. Flores-Félix, E. Menéndez, +7 authors Raúl Rivas
- Biology
- 1 December 2013
Microbial biofertilizers are becoming an effective tool for sustainable agriculture by means of the reduction of the use of chemical fertilizers. However, the knowledge of each specific… Expand
The Legume Nodule Microbiome: A Source of Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria
- E. Velázquez, Lorena Carro, +8 authors Alvaro Peix
- Biology
- 2017
Legume nodules harbour two types of bacteria, the rhizobia, responsible for their formation, and other endophytic bacteria whose role in the nodule is still poorly known. These bacteria constitute… Expand
Biotechnological applications of bacterial cellulases
- E. Menéndez, P. García-Fraile, Raúl Rivas
- Materials Science
- 3 August 2015
Cellulases have numerous applications in several industries, including biofuel production, food and feed industry, brewing, pulp and paper, textile, laundry, and agriculture.Cellulose-degrading… Expand
The high diversity of Lotus corniculatus endosymbionts in soils of northwest Spain
- M. Marcos-García, E. Menéndez, Xavier Cruz-González, E. Velázquez, P. Mateos, Raúl Rivas
- Biology
- Symbiosis
- 11 December 2015
The diversity of rhizobia that establish symbiosis with Lotus corniculatus has scarcely been studied. Several species of Mesorhizobium are endosymbionts of this legume, including Mesorhizobium loti,… Expand
A ClpB chaperone knockout mutant of Mesorhizobium ciceri shows a delay in the root nodulation of chickpea plants.
- C. Brígido, M. Robledo, E. Menéndez, P. Mateos, S. Oliveira
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular plant-microbe interactions : MPMI
- 7 November 2012
Several molecular chaperones are known to be involved in bacteria stress response. To investigate the role of chaperone ClpB in rhizobia stress tolerance as well as in the rhizobia-plant symbiosis… Expand
Effective Colonization of Spinach Root Surface by Rhizobium
- Alejandro Jiménez-Gómez, E. Menéndez, J. D. Flores-Félix, P. García-Fraile, P. Mateos, Raúl Rivas
- Biology
- 2016
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are a group of bacteria able to promote plant growth and increase crop productivity. For a successful and effective bacteria–plant association, microorganism… Expand
On the bright side of a forest pest-the metabolic potential of bark beetles' bacterial associates.
- A. Fabryová, M. Kostovčík, +7 authors P. García-Fraile
- Biology, Medicine
- The Science of the total environment
- 1 April 2018
Bark beetles reproduce and overwinter under the bark of trees, and are associated with bacteria that may influence the fitness of their hosts. As regard the aim of this study was to test the… Expand
Molecular characterization of Quercus suber MYB1, a transcription factor up-regulated in cork tissues.
- T. Almeida, E. Menéndez, Tiago Capote, Teresa Ribeiro, C. Santos, S. Gonçalves
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of plant physiology
- 15 January 2013
The molecular processes associated with cork development in Quercus suber L. are poorly understood. A previous molecular approach identified a list of genes potentially important for cork formation… Expand
Genome Analysis of Endobacterium cerealis, a Novel Genus and Species Isolated from Zea mays Roots in North Spain
- E. Menéndez, J. D. Flores-Félix, +4 authors E. Velázquez
- Biology, Medicine
- Microorganisms
- 1 June 2020
In the present work, we analyse the genomic and phenotypic characteristics of a strain named RZME27T isolated from roots of a Zea mays plant grown in Spain. The phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene… Expand
