TLDR
Culture of two nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from rice and jute phyllospheres respectively were sprayed on wheat plants as substitute for nitrogenous fertilisers and there was a marked improvement in yield and growth of the plants.
Abstract
Culture of two nitrogen-fixing bacteria (REN2 and JN1) isolated from rice and jute phyllospheres respectively, were sprayed on wheat plants as substitute for nitrogenous fertilisers. There was a marked improvement in yield and growth of the plants. An average increase in yield by 70% was obtained which was very near to that obtained by fertilizer treatment.

Cutinase and Pectinase in Host-Pathogen and Plant-Bacterial Interaction

TL;DR: A recent discovery is described that a phyllospheric bacterium which cohabits with an apparently nitrogen-fixing bacterium generates an extra-cellular cutinase and thus can provide a carbon source while receiving fixed N2 from the cohabiting partner.

The in vitro effect of some pesticides on the nitrogen fixing bacteria isolated from the phyllosphere of some crop plants

TL;DR: Thein vitro effects of twelve commonly used pesticides, including the fungicides Cuman-L (Ziram) and Hinosan (Ediphenphos), the acaricides Nuvacron (Monocrotophos), Ekatin 25EC (Thiometon) and Ekalux-G5 (Quinalphos) and other insecticides on the nitrogen fixing bacteria isolated from the phyllosphere of some crop plants were tested.

Biodiversity of Diazotrophs Derxia and Beijerinckia in the Rhizospheric and Nonrhizospheric Soils of Rice Plant- A Review

TL;DR: A substancial review work has been done on the diversity of diazotrophs Derxia and Beizerinckia in Rice field, taking into account the physiological, biochemical, ecological and as well as the inoculation studies done so far of these two bacteria.

Nitrogen fixing potentialities of the phyllospheric bacteria in relation to concentration of sucrose in the medium

TL;DR: A number of nitrogen fixing bacteria isolated from the leaf surface of different crop plants were grown in nitrogen free medium at different concentrations of sucrose and their nitrogen fixing capabilities were tested by the usual microkjeldahl method.

The phyllosphere: III. Nitrogen fixation in the phyllosphere

Jakoba Ruinen
- 01 Jun 1965 - 
TL;DR: In the limited space of the petri dish the cultural conditions for active nitrogen fixation quickly deteriorated by the accumulation of metabolic products from both the leaf and the microvegetation, and Heterotrophs and predatory protozoa eventually dominated the initial population.

Microbial inoculation of plants

TL;DR: It was shown that Azotobacter did not colonize the roots of lucerne, maize, tomato, or wheat to any great extent and Bacillus and Clostridium were moderate colonizers of plant roots reaching from 1 to 20 per cent the levels reached by Pseudomonas fluorescens on the same plants.
