Why rhizobium biofertizer production uses yeast extract mannitol broth?
Answers
Thus role of Rhizobium is noteworthy for their major contributions to soil fertility. Yeast Mannitol Broth is used for the cultivation of the symbiotic nitrogen fixing organisms viz. ... Mannitol is the fermentable sugar alcohol source. Calcium and magnesium provide cations essential for the growth of Rhizobia.
The main purpose of this research paper is to isolate bacteria (Rhizobium) as a nitrogen fixing bacteria from root nodules of chick pea (Cicer arietinum) and its identification, characterization and hence the production of biofertilizer from it after growing it in the selective media and finally mass producing the bacteria and mixing it with carrier materials for further utilization in the soils to increase its nutrient quality naturally after combining it with the soil. Nitrogen is one of the important component which acts as a building blocks of most biomolecules but this inert nitrogen cannot be utilized by plants so the Rhizobium bacteria helps to fix the atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia which can be utilized by plants so the production of biofertilizer from this bacterial strains are the main focus in this paper.
