“…Fungi in the soil play the role of saprophytes, reducers, symbionts and have a huge function in obtaining crop yields. They participate in the processes of complex organic compound decomposition, they enter into symbiosis with plants, they produce pigments, antibiotics, biologically active compounds, and they shape the soil structure (Anilkumar et al 2017). Our research showed that the development of these groups of microorganisms was influenced by the cultivation system and the cultivated plant.…”

The aim of the work was to evaluate the impact of use of conventional and organic cultivation systems on selected parameters of microbial activity in the soil under wheat, barley and oat cultivation. Microbiological, biochemical, enzymatic and metabolic activities were analyzed during three seasons over 3 years in soil. The more beneficial effect of organic cultivation was reflected in the increase in bacterial growth, the intensification of the nitrification and higher activity of all analyzed enzymes. The conventional system was more favorable for the development of fungi. The assessment of the metabolic profile of soil microorganisms demonstrated clear differences between the activity of microorganisms in the organic and conventional systems. The results indicate that cultivation of soil in the organic system is more conducive to the environment. The authors conducted research, because there is no unambiguous answer to the question which growing system is more beneficial for soil biological life, i.e., the basis for food production. Microorganisms that are the object of these studies form the basis for the fertility of all soil ecosystems. Graphic abstract

“…Actinobacteria create around two‐thirds of natural antibiotics, with Streptomyces producing approximately 75 per cent (Moumbock et al, 2021). Most soil actinobacteria thrive in alkaline to neutral environments (Anilkumar et al, 2017). They are now called growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (Anilkumar et al, 2017).…”

“…Most soil actinobacteria thrive in alkaline to neutral environments (Anilkumar et al, 2017). They are now called growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (Anilkumar et al, 2017). Most plant growth‐promoting actinomycetes have antifungal or antibacterial activity, indicating their potential as biological control agents (Ma et al, 2019).…”

“…On the other hand, low‐temperature stress disrupts metabolic pathways, alters membrane properties and protein structure, and prevents enzymatic reactions (Salwan & Sharma, 2020). The cold will induce flower sterility by interfering with meiosis during spore formation (Anilkumar et al, 2017). The inoculation of microorganisms increases tolerance and resilience to heat stress.…”

The rhizosphere is the region around the plant roots where maximum microbial activities occur. In the rhizosphere, microorganisms' beneficial and harmful activities affect plant growth and development. The mutualistic rhizospheric bacteria which improve plant growth and health are known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). They are very important due to their ability to help the plant in diverse ways.

“…After chelation, the available ionic form (Fe +2 ) is easily absorbed by microorganisms (Kaszubiak, 1998). Microbial siderophores may act as plant promoters by dispensing iron to plants and as a biocontrol agent against phytopathogens by limiting its availability and thus killing pathogens (Anilkumar et al, 2017). In terms of siderophores production, Actinobacteria is one the most important group (Franco-Correa and Chavarro-Anzola, 2016) as illustrated in Table 1, which reports many siderophore productions by many species associated with grain crops, such as for Brevibacterium associated to Triticum aestivum (Tara and Saharan, 2017), Gordonia with Zea mays (Hong et al, 2011), Amycolatopsis with chickpea and sorghum (Alekhya and Gopalakrishnan, 2016), Kitasatospora with Trifolium repens L. (Franco-Correa et al, 2010), Streptomyces with Rice (Gopalakrishnan et al, 2013) and chickpea (Alekhya and Gopalakrishnan, 2017), Nocardiopsis with wheat (Allali et al, 2019), Thermobifida with Trifolium repens L. (Franco-Correa et al, 2010) and Micrococcus with Vigna unguiculata (Dastager et al, 2010).…”

Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPBs) are a strong ally for sustainable agriculture. They offer an interesting alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Many microorganisms have been widely documented for their PGPR traits, but actinobacterial microbes which have been increasingly documented only these two past decades for their ability to promote plant growth. Their action on plant health and yield could be either direct, indirect or both. This review will cover articles that have been published on Actinobacteria PGP traits, highlighting the involved mechanisms to reveal their strong potential as microbial fertilizers. Possible strategies to encourage Actinobacteria use as bioinoculants are also discussed.
