Plant growth promotion and nitrogen fixation by Paenibacillus polymyxa in corn and canola

Availability of nitrogen is the most yield-limiting mineral factor in crop production. Several Paenibacillus bacterial strains that were able to fix nitrogen from atmosphere were isolated from extracts of surface-sterilized lodgepole pine seedling and tree tissues. One strain, Paenibacillus polymyxa...
