Microbe Identification
Microbe nameAzospirillum sp. 47_25
NCBI Taxonomy ID1896971
DescriptionAzospirillum sp. 47_25 is a nonsporulating bacterium recognized for its role in promoting plant growth through nitrogen fixation. This microorganism is part of the Azospirillum genus, which comprises free-living diazotrophic bacteria that engage in beneficial interactions with a variety of plants. Azospirillum sp. 47_25 is particularly noted for its ability to enhance the uptake of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the rhizosphere, the region of soil immediately surrounding plant roots, thus fostering improved plant health and productivity. The ecological significance of Azospirillum sp. 47_25 extends beyond nutrient enhancement; it also promotes soil health by contributing to the microbial community structure and functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. This bacterium can aid in improving soil structure and fertility through the production of growth-promoting substances, such as auxins and cytokinins, which stimulate root development and proliferation.In addition, Azospirillum sp. 47_25 demonstrates a unique capacity to interact synergistically with other soil microbes, thereby facilitating a more robust microbial network that can increase plant resilience against environmental stresses, such as drought or nutrient deficiencies. This adaptability to various plant species signifies its potential in sustainable agriculture practices, particularly in reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers and enhancing the efficiency of nutrient usage in crops. Such traits highlight the importance of Azospirillum sp. 47_25 in ecological sustainability and agricultural innovation.
