Abstract:The aim of this study was to assess the effect of inoculated endophytic bacteria on the concentrations of vitamins E (tocopherols), K (phylloquinone), B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), C (ascorbic acid) and the peroxyl radical scavenging capacity of hydroponically grown sweet basil. Endophytic strains were all isolated from hydrocarbon-stressed herbaceous plants or from basil showing superior growth. Plants inoculated with the endophytes displayed up to 40% increase (p < 0.05) in the concentration of the … Show more
