TL;DR: The performance of the inoculants, particularly Calothrix (T6) and consortium of Anabaena and Providencia (CR1 + PR3; T5), in terms of microbiological and nutrient data, along with generation of distinct PCR-DGGE profiles suggested their superiority and emphasized the utility of combining microbiology and molecular tools in the selection of effective microbial inoculant.

TL;DR: The adaptability and functional traits of these culturable microbiome members suggest enormous diversity in the phyllosphere, including potential for plant growth promotion, which was also significantly influenced by the different methods of growing rice.

TL;DR: Observations clearly demonstrated that cyanobacteria characteristically affected the microbial communities of soils under both unsterilized and sterilized conditions, and influenced plant growth positively.

TL;DR: The combination of hybrid Parkash and Anabaena - Trichoderma biofilm was superior to other combinations, exhibiting highest values for both crop and microbiological parameters, suggesting the promise of these bioinoculants as plant growth promoting options in the integrated nutrient management strategies for maize hybrids.

TL;DR: The findings illustrate that the performance of the chickpea plants may be significantly modulated by the microbial communities in the nodule, which may contribute towards improved plant growth and metabolic activity of nodules.
