A natural bacterial isolate that shows multiple plant growth-promoting activities was isolated from fermented panchagavya (a mixture of five indigenous cow products). It is a gram-positive, endospore-forming bacteria identified as Bacillus sp. PG-8 by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The Bacillus sp. PG-8...
