Best Answer

Bacteria associated with the plant rhizosphere may have beneficial effects on plant growth by providing nutrients and growth factors, or by producing antibiotics and siderophores, which antagonize phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. There is considerable experimental support for the idea that plant growth promoting bacteria may be used as bio-fertilizers or biological disease control agents to increase agricultural yields. Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular Biology of the systems responsible for plant growth stimulation are opening the way to strain improvement by genetic engineering.
