To cope with the increasing problems created by agrochemicals such
as plant fertilizers, pesticides and other plant protection agents,
biological alternatives have been developed over the past years.
These include biopesticides, such as bacteria for the control of
plant diseases, and biofertilizer to improve crop productivity and
quality. Especially plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are
as effective as pure chemicals in terms of plant growth enhancement
and disease control, in addition to their ability to manage abiotic
and other stresses in plants. The various facets of these groups of
bacteria are treated in this Microbiology Monograph, with emphasis
on their emergence in agriculture. Further topics are Bacillus
species that excrete peptides and lipopeptides with antifungal,
antibacterial and surfactant activity, plant-bacteria-environment
interactions, mineral-nutrient exchange, nitrogen assimilation,
biofilm formation and cold-tolerant microorganisms.
