Title: Influence of Growth Pattern of Cyanobacterial Species on Biofertilizer Production
Abstract: Fertilizers play an important role in improving the yield of a crop plant. Fertilizers are needed for every type of soil as no soil will be embedded with all nutrients. Application of synthetic fertilizer will have immediate effect on plant growth and productivity along with many side effects. Application of biofertilizers will minimize the side effects and helps in increasing the fertility of the soil. Cyanobacteria are one of the most popular biofertilizers which are applied for improving the productivity of many crop plants. This chapter will focus on the morphology and growth conditions of cyanobacteria, their role as biofertilizers, and the advantages of applying the cyanobacteria and soil nitrogen fixing bacteria as fertilizers when compared with the synthetic fertilizers. Conditions for the in vitro culture of cyanobacteria and the mechanisms of gene transfer for their increased productivity were also discussed in detail.
