Rhizobacterial diversity of Portuguese olive cultivars in the Douro valley and their potential as plant growth promoters
Our findings demonstrate that the structure of rhizosphere bacterial communities associated with olive trees is shaped by both plant cultivar and soil-related factors. The higher number of bacterial species in the rhizosphere of Negrinha de Freixo was related to a higher organic matter content and a greater abundance of isolates with plant growth promotion traits, particularly Bacillus strains.
