This edited book comprehensively explores the vital aspects of plant growth-promoting bacteria and the mechanisms underlying their phenotypic characteristics in rhizobacteria. It serves as a valuable guide for researchers, highlighting the potential of plant growth-promoting bacteria as biofertilizers. The book delves into the process of biofertilizer development, its efficacy testing for commercial use, and the potency of various biofertilizers. It also provides insights into the secretion of secondary metabolites by bacteria, which play a crucial role in nutrient management. The book extensively discusses the genomic basis of nutrient management by microbes, offering essential information regarding the genomic and proteomic background of biofertilizers. The chapters are organized into three sections, each addressing specific aspects of plant growth promotion and biofertilizer development. The first section emphasizes the importance of rhizobacteria in enhancing soil nutrient levels and mitigating biotic and abiotic stresses. The second section delves into the various types of biofertilizers available and the techniques involved in mass production. The third section focuses on metabolomics and proteomics, providing a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying plant growth development. This book stands out as it incorporates emerging technologies that are high-throughput, scalable, and applicable to diverse countries, regardless of their socio-economic conditions. It has the potential to enhance the current state of knowledge and inspire researchers and innovators to translate interdisciplinary knowledge into technologies that address global challenges in agriculture and environmental sustainability.
