Chemotactic Behavior of Caenorhabditis elegans in Different Chemical Gradients
Abstract: The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been extensively used as a model organism for studying various behavioral aspects in small organisms. Chemotaxis has, by far, been one of the most important studies to help us understand the fundamental search and avoid behavior of C. elegans. A typical chemotaxis assay involves the use of anesthetics to paralyze the worms near the center of a chemoattractant gradient that enables us to …

Isolation and Characterization of Rhizosphere-Competent Indigenous Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria for Biofertilizer Applications
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crop growth and development. Low levels of P in soil is due to high reactivity of soluble P with calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) or aluminum (Al) that lead to P precipitation. Mineral phosphate (P) solubilization is an important activity of rhizospheric bacteria that contribute significantly to the plant growth and development in eco-friendly manner. Four potent phosphate solubilizers (PSB-2, PSB-3, PSB-4 and PSB-7), …
