Leaf bacteria help this medicinal herb fight disease and grow bigger
PubMed · 2026-10-16
Bacteria living inside the medicinal plant Kalmegh shift as it flowers, and some of these microbes both boost the plant's defensive chemical compound and protect it from fungal disease. One bacterial strain increased herbage yield and the medicinal compound content by 43% in pot trials.
1
Dominant bacterial genus shifted from Sphingomonas (nursery/vegetative stages) to Halobacterium during flowering
2
Bacillus cereus strains KL11, KL12, and KL5 inhibited Fusarium wilt and Rhizoctonia pathogens by 60-65% in lab tests
3
Micrococcus luteus KES1 increased herbage yield, plant height, and andrographolide content by 43% in pot trials
