“…PGPR can be divided into two groups according to their relationship with the plants: symbiotic bacteria and free-living rhizobacteria (Khan, 2005). As reviewed by Compant et al (2005), Glick (1995Glick ( , 2001, Hall (2002), Hallman et al (1997), Lucy et al (2004), Sturz et al (2000), and Welbaum et al (2004), a lot of work have been done on the mechanisms and principles of the PGPR-plant relationship, which was accepted widely as rhizosphere effect. Generally, PGPR function in three different ways (Glick, 1995(Glick, , 2001): synthesizing particular compounds for the plants, facilitating the uptake of certain nutrients from the environment (Çakmakçi et al, 2006;Lucas García et al, 2004a,b;Siddiqui and Mahmood, 2001), and lessening or preventing the plants from diseases (Guo et al, 2004;Jetiyanon and Kloepper, 2002;Raj et al, 2003;Saravanakumar et al, in press).…”

“…Under such circumstances, organic inputs such as microbial inoculants hold promise in control of disease and promotion of growth of broad bean in farmers' field. In general, biological control has been considered as an alternative or a supplementing way of reducing use of chemicals in agriculture [5,6]. Several rhizobacterial strains have been successfully exploited elsewhere in control of damping off and root diseases of several crops [7,8] and in management of nutrient under sustainable crop production [9][10][11].…”

Development of microbial inoculants from rhizobacterial isolates with potential for plant growth promotion and root disease suppression require rigorous screening. Fifty-four (54) fluorescent pseudomonads, out of a large collection of rhizobacteria from broad bean fields of 20 different locations within Imphal valley of Manipur, were initially screened for antifungal activity against Macrophomina phaseolina and Rhizoctonia solani, of diseased roots of broad bean and also three other reference fungal pathogens of plant roots. Fifteen fluorescent pseudomonas isolates produced inhibition zone (8-29 mm) of the fungal growth in dual plate assay and IAA like substances (24.1-66.7 lg/ml) and soluble P (12.7-56.80 lg/ml) in broth culture. Among the isolates, RFP 36 caused a marked increase in seed germination, seedling biomass and control of the root borne pathogens of broad bean. PCR-RAPD analysis of these isolates along with five MTCC reference fluorescent pseudomonas strains indicated that the RFP-36 belonged to a distinct cluster and the PCR of its genomic DNA with antibiotic specific primers Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and 2, 4-diacetyl phloroglucinol suggested possible occurrence of gene for the potent antibiotics. Overall, the result of the study indicated the potential of the isolate RFP 36 as a microbial inoculant with multiple functions for broad bean.

“…What is more, organic compounds, which have been out of people's attention for economical reasons, are again spotlighted along with their application to improved price competitiveness, low risk of environmental pollution and innovative tools of genetic engineering. We also expect a large room for the role of metagenome in increasing agricultural productivity and the utilization and reformulation of biomass [54,55]. Besides, research on human metagenome can derive the causes of diseases and new treatment methods through the analyses of qualitative and quantitative dynamics of microbial communities [56,57].…”

The trend of recent researches, in which synthetic biology and white technology through system approaches based on "Omics technology" are recognized as the ground of biotechnology, indicates the coming of the 'metagenome era' that accesses the genomes of all microbes aiming at the understanding and industrial application of the whole microbial resources. The remarkable advance of technologies for digging out and analyzing metagenome is enabling not only practical applications of metagenome but also system approaches on a mixed-genome level based on accumulated information. In this situation, the present review is purposed to introduce the trends and methods of research on metagenome and to examine big science led by related resources in the future.
