- Intervention effect ACC-deaminase rhizobacteria lowered potato rhizosphere ACC concentration.
- Intervention effect The rhizobacteria lowered several proteinogenic amino acids in the potato rhizosphere.
- Association Amino acid concentration effects were not always correlated with bacterial metabolism of those compounds in vitro.
- Observation All tested rhizobacteria showed similar potato root colonisation after sand-culture inoculation.
- Intervention effect Rhizobacterial inoculation increased potato root biomass by up to 50% in pots.
- Intervention effect Rhizobacterial inoculation increased potato tuber yield by up to 27% in field experiments.
- Intervention effect Inoculated and control potato plants had similar leaf water relations.
- Intervention effect Rhizobacteria generally increased potato tuber number more than individual tuber weight.
