Recent advancements for microorganisms and their natural compounds useful in agriculture.

Abstract

During the past years, microorganisms have been the cause of many problems for human s health. However, today with the development of many techniques of microbiology, the researchers have studied several roles of microorganisms which may help the society. Microbial-based products are expected to play important role in agriculture-enhancing plant production and therefore increasing crop s yieldeswani et al. . Microorganisms can act by several action mechanisms including antibiosis or mechanisms in plant-microbe interactions underlining the dual function of microbial strains toward plant nutrition and protection. The market has increased with the development of microbial-based products. Currently, it is normal to think that microorganisms help us in agriculture by applying them as biological control. In this mini review, we collect the last findings about this topic including very recent literature. KEY POINTS: • Microorganisms play a beneficial role in agriculture by different mechanisms. • One of these mechanisms is the secretion of chemical compounds with different activities.
