| Abstract: | Novel, root-associated Pseudomonas and Burkholderia strains with biological control and plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits are being sought for biotechnological application in agriculture. We present a new isolation approach for recovery of rhizoplane and/or endophytic Pseudomonas and Burkholderia spp. with desirable biocontrol and PGP phenotypes. The method may enable better targeted biodiscovery of these two important genera. |
