Teaming with Bacteria: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Endophytic Bacteria and the Rhizophagy Cycle
$11.99
Description
Book Synopsis: A must-read handbook for organic gardeners and small-scale growers. Thanks to research conducted over the last few decades, we know that most plants get a significant portion of their nutrients by attracting endophytic bacteria—bacteria that live inside a plant’s cells. Through a complex process, plant cells harvest the nitrogen and other nutrients in a bacterium’s cell wall and expel the bacterium’s protoplasts back into the soil where they rebuild their cell walls, start feeding again, and repeat the cycle.
Interesting, you may think, but why does this matter? As it turns out, it matters a lot. The bottom line is this: without endophytic bacteria, plants get fewer nutrients and cannot develop properly. Teaming with Bacteria not only explains the rhizophagy cycle; it shows you how to harness this amazing process to increase productivity and plant health. In addition, endophytic bacteria increase a plant’s tolerances to abiotic and biotic stresses and controlling pathogens. This is exactly what we need if we are to deal effectively with climate change, soil loss, and feeding a rapidly burgeoning population. Gardeners, farmers, and other growers must adjust best practices—and develop new ones—to ensure that the rhizophagy cycle can operate at its most efficient pace and that the right endophytic bacteria can do what they are supposed to do.
Just as Teaming with Microbes introduced gardeners and growers to the soil food web, Teaming with Bacteria adds to that science by sharing the latest research on endophytic bacteria (bacteria that live inside plants) and rhizophagy (plants “eating” bacteria)—discoveries that have profound implications for the practices of home gardeners and small-scale growers.

Are you an organic gardener or a small-scale grower? If so, we have the perfect handbook for you - Teaming with Bacteria: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Endophytic Bacteria and the Rhizophagy Cycle. This must-read book explores the fascinating connection between plants and endophytic bacteria, revealing a complex process that significantly enhances plant health and productivity.
Through years of research, it has been discovered that most plants receive a significant portion of their nutrients from endophytic bacteria - microscopic bacteria that reside within the plant's cells. These bacteria play a vital role in the rhizophagy cycle, a process wherein plant cells extract nutrients from the bacterium's cell wall and then expel the bacterium's protoplasts back into the soil. This unique cycle ensures that plants receive the necessary nourishment, allowing them to thrive and develop properly.
You might wonder, why does this matter? Well, it matters a lot. Without the presence of endophytic bacteria, plants struggle to obtain sufficient nutrients, resulting in stunted growth and reduced productivity. However, by understanding and harnessing the power of this incredible process, you can unlock the full potential of your garden or farm. Teaming with Bacteria not only explains the rhizophagy cycle in detail, but it also provides invaluable guidance on how to optimize the process to increase your plant's health and abundance.
Furthermore, endophytic bacteria offer additional benefits. They enhance a plant's tolerance to environmental stresses and help control harmful pathogens. In the face of challenges like climate change, soil degradation, and the need to feed a growing population, it is crucial for gardeners, farmers, and growers to embrace new practices that support the rhizophagy cycle. Teaming with Bacteria equips you with the knowledge and tools to make a positive impact in your garden or farm.
Building upon the groundbreaking insights of its predecessor, Teaming with Microbes, this book delves into the latest research on endophytic bacteria and rhizophagy. It offers practical advice and evidence-based recommendations to help you implement the most effective strategies for cultivating a thriving and sustainable ecosystem. Don't miss out on the opportunity to revolutionize your gardening practices. Discover the wonders of the rhizophagy cycle today by grabbing your copy of Teaming with Bacteria!
