SRP373637 PRJNA834937 Illumina sequencing of plant growth promoting bacteria Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) are of increased interested as they offer sustainable alternatives to the more common chemical fertilisers. Research, however, has increased into the use of PGPB as bioinoculants to improve yields. Legumes are known to interact with diazotroph PGPB which promote growth, prevent pathogenic infections, and actively fix nitrogen.
