Background The holobiont" refers to the plant and its associated microbiota that are pivotal to the plant's health, fitness, and survival. By in vitro culturing and functionally characterizing members of the plant microbiota, their specific roles in influencing plant responses to environmental changes can be determined and manipulated to foster sustainable agriculture and ecosystem management. Aims The review presents a compre...

Background and aims Microbiome-mediated strategies for future stressed-agriculture entail exploration of repertoires of halophyte microbiota. Culturomics strategies are advanced to improve culturability and extend diversity of microbiota of Salicornia europaea L. Methods The plant broth-based-seawater-culture medium (PBSW) was advanced for in vitro domestication of microbiota of endo-rhizosphere/endo-phyllosphere of S. europae...

This work aimed to isolate, and identify Lactic Acid Bacteria LAB from Egyptian immature citrus honey, and characterize their secondary metabolites, as well as determine the antibacterial activities and transcription of virulence genes (stx1, stx2, and eae) influenced by these bacterial secondary metabolites. From twenty hives, twenty immature citrus bee honey samples were taken. Traditional cultural and biochemical testing we...

Continue to hypothesize that honey is a storehouse of beneficial bacteria, and the majority of these isolates are levansucrase producers. Accordingly, ten bacterial strains were isolated from different honey sources. Four honey isolates that had the highest levansucrase production and levan yield were identified by the partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene as Achromobacter sp. (10A), Bacillus paralicheniformis (2M), Bacillus...
