Description
The nitrogen fixing diazotroph Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a plant growth promoting bacterium able to colonise a wide range of host plants and is marketed commercially as a biofertiliser. The aims of this study were to investigate if biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) competency affects the growth promotion of inoculated tomato plants and to describe the colonisation mechanism of this bacterium in dicot systems.
