Isolation of microbial groups from a seaweed
extract and comparison of their effects on a growth of pepper culture (Capsicum annuum L.)
Abstract
This work describes the results of the
microbiological characterization of seaweed extract called ALGAENZIMSâ that is produced by the company PalauBioquim (Mexico) as a
biofertilizer. ALGAENZIMSâ
production is performed by means of a seaweed treatment on alkaline solution
and addition of some other natural extracts from Mexican desert plants and
salts. The results obtained in this work demonstrated that this product
contains a great variety of microorganisms at a high concentration (>2.0E+9
CFU/ml). The goal of this study is to isolate from the product some microbial
fractions (1,- Mesophilic Aerobic Bacteria, 2,- Fungi, 3,- Microorganisms
growing in medium without addition of nitrogen sources and 4,- Microorganisms
tolerant to high salt concentration), apply them on agricultural test on pepper
culture and compare the observed effects. During assay kinetics of growth, the
plant height at the end of experiment, the length of time before initial
harvest and the fruit weights were evaluated. This work indicates the
importance of the interactions between plant and microorganisms isolated from
ALGAENZIMSâ.
