There has been a resurgence of interest in environmental friendly,
sustainable and organic cultural practices that warrants high yield
and quality in agricultural crops. To enhance sustainable
agricultural production and alleviate food scarcity, spoor of
majority of microorganisms, especially plant growth and health
promoting bacteria of eminent characteristics that allow them for
exploitation in agro-ecosystem. Plant growth promoting
rhizobacteria are the soil bacteria inhabiting around/on the root
surface and are directly or indirectly involved in promoting plant
growth and development via production and secretion of various
regulatory chemicals in the vicinity of rhizosphere. Among various
beneficial bacteria mediated mechanisms include direct production
of phytohormones and biosurfactants experiencing quest of research
and concept up gradation that can built emerging paradigm
(agriculture model). Research on bacteria-mediated phytohormones is
crucially important, provides key understanding of the plant growth
and development. Various genera including PGPR group of bacteria
are potential source of plant growth regulators. Application of
such organism allow plants to survive under abiotic and biotic
stress conditions besides govern phytohormone mediated immune
response and manage to regulate hormones. Such group of bacteria
also produce another important metabolite i.e. biosurfacatants
which are involved in many important functions to bacteria itself
as we ll as for the plants and their ecosystem. Biosurfactants may
alter nutrient availability, endogenous metabolites such as
antibiotics production, root colonization imparting protection from
phytopathogens besides eradicating soil contaminants and other
pollutants. The role and activities of surfactants produced by
bacteria are multifarious in nature. Thus, bacterial phytohormones
and biosurfactants are identified as effector molecules in plant-
microbe interactions, in pathogenesis and phyto-stimulation which
can either be beneficial for the bacteria itself or for the crops.
This book highlights current applications and research on bacterial
hormones and surfactants to provide a timely overview. The chapters
have been contributed by subject experts from around the world and
include topics of varied importance which include phytohormones
production by rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria, their role in
rhizosphere competence, plant growth regulation, bioremediation,
biosurfactants as antibiofilm agents and other aspects. This major
new work represents a valuable source of information to all those
scientists interested in microbial technology with respect to the
microbial innovative products and applications towards sustainable
agroecosystem.
