Objective: to determine the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates produced by potentially nitrogen- fixing bacteria isolated from Asparagus officinalis L. (Asparagaceae).Methods: Samples of rhizospheric soil, previously disinfected roots and stems, were cultivated in nitrogen-free media to isolate rhizospheric and endophytic fixing bacteria, respectively. In a fermentation broth...
Sustainable agroecological practices make it possible to reduce the negative environmental and socio-economic impact on agriculture. Among these practices, is the use of composts and biol found as fertilizers, fertilizers or organic amendments with an effectiveness, in many cases, higher than that exerted by natural manures. In this context, the agri-food industry generates a...
