Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are signaling molecules produce during the microbial metabolism. Interestingly, it is known that these gaseous metabolites can promote plant growth as well as inhibit the growth of phytopathogens. So far, there are several studies with Arabidopsis thaliana (mainly), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), alfalfa (Mendicago sativa), Nicotiana attenuata, cucumber (Cucum…
Despite the advances on agricultural practices to feed the growing world, it is necessary to increase the global food production adopting sustainable practices. Several plant growth-promoting bacteria can greatly increase crop yield through a wide variety of interaction mechanisms. Recently, our group have isolated more than 7,000 bacteria from sugarcane roots or cultivated soil in differ…
From an agronomical point of view, there are a lot of strategies that can be used to maximize sugarcane yield and, nowadays, it is expected to increase the production adopting sustainable practices. Several plant growth-promoting bacteria can greatly increase crop yield and health through a wide variety of interaction mechanisms. Recently, our group have isolated more than 7,000 bacteria …
The increased energy demand and the consensus on the need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and dependence on fossil fuels is driving the development and improvement of biofuels production. Nowadays, ethanol is the most widely used biofuel, but to attend the global, efforts are being made to increase its production, and one of the options is the second generation ethanol (2GE) produ…

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are described as signalling molecules and can be considered protagonists in important ecological relationships, such as symbiosis, resistance induction and antagonism. A vast and diverse group of these compounds is naturally produced as part of the microbial metabolism in response to environmental factors. However, few studies have been developed with the…
Sugarcane (cane) production is one of the most important sectors of the Brazilian economy, representing 2% of the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Currently, Brazil is the world's largest producer of this crop and, despite its high productivity, sugarcane cultivation is still severely affected by biotic limiting factors, such as insects and phytopathogenic microorganisms, which can …
The need to adopt more sustainable practices in agriculture has increased the demand for bioinoculants development and research. In this regard, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have become the target of studies for increasing the yield of agricultural crops through rising nutrient availability in the soil and the synthesis of plant hormones such as auxin and gibberiline. In additio…

Despite the advances on agricultural practices to feed the growing world, it is necessary to increase the global food production and energy adopting sustainable practices. Several plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can greatly increase crop yield through a wide variety of interaction mechanisms. Recently many studies are being conducted with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which ar…
In Brazil, sugarcane bagasse has been proposed as a promising residue for second-generation (2G)ethanol production due to its abundance and low cost. However, biotechnological challenges mustbe overcome to make this fuel an economically viable substitute for fossil fuels. In this regard, it isnecessary to reduce the cost of enzyme mixtures used to break down the lignocellulose and release…
