Dual benefits of Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus strain GIC41 in mitigating Pythium root rot and enhancing plant growth across cultivation systems

mycolabadmin

Scientists tested a bacteria strain called Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus (GIC41) to fight a destructive plant disease called Pythium root rot. In both soil and water-based growing systems, this bacteria significantly reduced disease symptoms in spinach and tomato plants while also making the plants grow bigger and stronger. The bacteria works by producing enzymes and possibly triggering the plant’s natural defenses, without directly poisoning the disease-causing pathogen.

Response of Chaetomium sp. to Nitrogen Input and Its Potential Role in Rhizosphere Enrichment of Lycium barbarum

mycolabadmin

Goji berries grow better when treated with a beneficial fungus called Chaetomium, especially when combined with proper nitrogen management. This fungus helps regulate nitrogen cycling in the soil and promotes plant growth more effectively than nitrogen fertilizer alone. The research suggests that farmers can reduce nitrogen fertilizer use while maintaining or improving crop productivity by using this fungal inoculant, which is better for the environment.

A bibliometric analysis of fungal volatile organic compounds

mycolabadmin

Fungi release distinctive smells made up of volatile compounds that help them communicate with plants, bacteria, and other organisms. These fungal smell chemicals have grown from being studied mainly in wine fermentation to being explored for helping crops grow better, fighting plant diseases naturally, and creating food flavors without chemicals. This research shows that understanding how fungi use these smell chemicals could lead to more sustainable farming practices and natural alternatives to harmful pesticides.

Local Fungi Promote Plant Growth by Positively Affecting Rhizosphere Metabolites to Drive Beneficial Microbial Assembly

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested local fungal species from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to help plants grow in damaged mining areas at extremely high altitudes. The local fungi were more effective than commercial bacterial products at promoting plant growth and creating healthy soil microbiomes. These fungi work by producing special chemicals that attract beneficial microorganisms while preventing harmful fungi from growing, making them ideal for restoring ecosystems in cold, high-altitude mining regions.
