Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 33))

Abstract

Currently, there is a growing need of biofertilizers and biopesticides for sustainable agriculture, especially those formulated by using microorganisms or their products. Actinobacteria (actinomycetes) could display positive interaction with plants by acting as rhizosphere colonizers, endophytes, or symbionts. Numerous studies focused on their beneficial effects toward plants as growth promoters by mechanisms such as phosphate solubilization, production of phytohormones, decreasing ethylene production, or protection against phytopathogens (by production of siderophores, antibiotics, and lytic enzymes or by inducing systemic resistance). Thus, efficient strategies were developed to explore their potential in order to enhance plant fitness and crop yield. Since the last few decades, interest in actinomycetes able to solubilize insoluble phosphate forms is particularly increasing. However, these works are still not sufficient compared to that on the Gram-positive Bacillus and the Gram-negative Pseudomonas bacteria. In addition, actinomycetes with antagonistic effects against phytopathogens are largely isolated and their effects proved in greenhouses and/or field experiments. Although phosphate-solubilizing actinomycetes display high diversity, versatility and adaptation to harsh conditions, high metabolite production potential, and suitability to formulations, rare commercial compounds are available in markets. This chapter presents an overview of the diversity and importance of actinomycetes in natural and agricultural soils. It also presents recent knowledge on beneficial traits of phosphate-solubilizing actinomycetes to plants and their application as biofertilizers and/or biopesticides, with emphasis on actinobacteria-based formulations and obstacles that hinder their development and commercialization.
