This study reports an intriguing observation regarding the betaproteobacterium Pelomonas saccharophila MRB3 (NITE P-01647), a candidate plant growth-promoting bacterium that accelerates biomass production of the aquatic plant, duckweed. In a series of experiments in which strain MRB3 cells were inoc...
