Promising microbial consortia for producing biofertilizers for rice fields

Two cyanobacterial cultures from rice paddies of Kyzylorda Provence, Kazakhstan were isolated and characterized: Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc calsicola . Based on these cultures, new consortia of cyanobacteria, microalgae and Azotobacter were developed: ZOB-1 ( Anabaena variabilis , Chlorella vulg...

Summary:Two cyanobacterial cultures from rice paddies of Kyzylorda Provence, Kazakhstan were isolated and characterized: Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc calsicola . Based on these cultures, new consortia of cyanobacteria, microalgae and Azotobacter were developed: ZOB-1 ( Anabaena variabilis , Chlorella vulgaris , and Azotobacter sp.) and ZOB-2 ( Nostoc calsicola , Chlorella vulgaris , and Azotobacter sp.). High growth rate and photosynthetic activity of microalgae were observed in these consortia. The active consortium ZOB-1 was selected, which improved germination and growth of rice plants. ZOB-1 was recommended as a biostimulator and biofertilizer for crops.
