TL;DR: The potential of PGPR to facilitate plant growth is of fundamental importance, especially in case of abiotic stress, where bacteria can support plant fitness, stress tolerance, and/or even assist in remediation of pollutants.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated survival of tested FLAB in honey bee gut, their susceptibility to antibiotics (ampicillin, erythromycin, tylosin), cell surface hydrophobicity, autoaggregation ability, co-aggregation with model pathogenic bacteria, and effect of studied FLAB, added to sucrose syrup bee diet, on longevity of honey bees.

TL;DR: Wild bank voles are more susceptible to Cd-induced liver and kidney injury than those bred and raised in the laboratory, and the difference in sensitivity may be associated with a distinct decrease of hepatic Fe in response toCd exposure between the two groups of bank Voles.

TL;DR: The phylogeny of symbiotic genes of Astragalus glycyphyllos L. (liquorice milkvetch) nodule isolates was studied by comparative sequence analysis of nodA, nodC, nodH and nifH loci and to reflect the symbiosis-adaptive phenotype of rhizobia, it is proposed for these bacteria the new symbiovar “glycyphyLLae”, based on nodA and nodC genes sequences.

TL;DR: Two strains isolated from a Zn–Pb mine waste heap which tested positive for all examined plant growth promoting traits and which showed co-tolerance to Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb can be considered as potential facilitators of phytostabilization.
