Rice straw degradation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AMB-CD-1, isolated from fresh cow dung and its impact on rice plants by Kishan Raj, Anup Singh, Tapas Chowdhury, S Gupta, Ravindra Soni

“…The isolated AMB-CD-1 was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa through the Sanger sequencing technique of the 16S rRNA gene. Results also revealed that the highest germination percentage, shoot weight and shoot length were found to be significantly superior in T4 (50% Sand + 50% Compost) whereas the highest chlorophyll content was found in T7 (25% Sand + 25% Soil + 50% Compost), and T1 (100% Sand) was effective in terms of root length.Conclusion Overall, the study concluded that Pseudomonas aeruginosa AMB-CD-1 might be a fast decomposer of paddy straw.…”
