This work aimed to isolate and characterize plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from 10 Paspalum genotypes and evaluate the effect of their inoculation on P. regnellii, P. atratum, and P. malacophyllum genotypes. The bacterial population ranged from undetectable to 10 7 bacterial cells per gram of fresh matter in the Paspalum genotypes. Initially, we isolated 164 bacteria from rhizospheric soil and roots of the Paspalum genotypes using media N-freeLG agar plate, semi-solid NFb, and LGI. The isolates were characterized genetically and physiologically. The sequencing of 16S rRNA showed the presence of many genera, and some are new in association with Paspalum. The most common was Bacillus followed by Rhizobium,

The indiscriminate application of nitrogen fertilizer in order to increase rice crop productivity contributes to environmental degradation. One of the possible alternatives to ease up this problem is the use of sustainable and cost-effective technologies such as biofertilizers to promote plant growth. This work aimed to isolate, characterize and select diazotrophic bacteria associated with rice cultivars EPAGRI-109 and BRS TROPICAL. About 39 bacteria belonging to the genera Azospirillum, Herbaspirillum, Paenibacillus, Ideonella and Pseudomonas were isolated. Based on the best results of acetylene reduction assay (ARA), indolic compounds production and phosphate solubilization, the isolates were selected as potential plant growth promoters which were tested on rice cultivars IR 42, EPAGRI 109 and BRS TROPICAL under axenic condition and the most efficient isolates promoted up to 31% of dry weight of the evaluated rice cultivars. Two promising isolates were selected in this work (Paenibacillus species strain EP3-16N and Nitrospirillum species strain EP4-1L), however, more studies are necessary to confirm this capacity in field conditions.
