| Abstract | ||
| Plant-beneficial microbes are used to promote crop growth, yield and are alternatives to chemical fertilizers. Trichoderma and Azospirillum are of the most important fungi and bacteria, respectively, which act as growth-promoters in plants. Twenty bacterial and two fungal isolates were isolated from samples collected from Biala, Kafrelsheikh Governate. One isolate from each bacteria and fungi was chosen on the basis of their response to a number of morphological and physiological tests. The bacterial isolate (S2) was identified as A. lipoferum and the fungal isolate (T4) was identified as T. lixii. The selected isolates showed a significant role in the extracellular chitinase and protease production, and showed a negative result in the in vitro dual culture interaction between them. | ||
