Environmental Applications for Azospirillum Sp

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) of the genus Azospirillum are commonly used to improve agricultural plant yields. In addition to their usefulness as an agricultural inoculant, their potential benefits can be extended to environmental applications. For example, Azospirillum species can enhance the bioremediation of wastewater by microalgae by increasing algal proliferation and metabolism. Azospirillum species may improve the reforestation of marine mangrove trees, thereby enhancing fisheries along tropical coasts and may prevent desert soil erosion and promote abatement of dust pollution by assisting in the growth of cactus species. The following minireview discusses these applications, and shows future potential avenues for Azospirillum as an environmentally friendly microorganism.
