Description
The genus Azospirillum comprises free-living N2 fixing rhizosphere bacteria that have been isolated from different soil types and from the roots of numerous wild and cultivated plants all over the world. Field trials, carried out at different locations, have demonstrated that under certain environmental and soil conditions, inoculation with Azospirillum has beneficial effects on plant yields. Bacterial phytohormone biosynthesis has often been proposed as being responsible for the observed plant growth promotion upon Azospirillum inoculation.
