Abstract

Klebsiella is a bacterial genus widely recognized in the medical field but with underexplored potential in agriculture. This study employed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate scientific articles on plant growth promotion effects associated with endophytic bacteria Klebsiella species. A total of 39 relevant studies, published between 2012 and 2024, were identified based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis revealed that Klebsiella sp., K. pneumoniae, and K. variicola are cosmopolitan species that have functional versatility in phytohormone production, nutrient solubilization, and pathogen control in agricultural systems in both tropical and temperate zones. The data showed a significant correlation between the use of Klebsiella sp. and plant growth, highlighting the positive impact of these species in controlling aggressive pathogens. These findings underscore the potential of Klebsiella as a biotechnological tool for sustainable agricultural practices, enhancing plant growth and reducing the reliance on chemical inputs. The study further emphasizes the need for future research to deepen genomic characterization and expand the agricultural applications of these bacteria.

期刊介绍： World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology publishes research papers and review articles on all aspects of Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology. Since its foundation, the Journal has provided a forum for research work directed toward finding microbiological and biotechnological solutions to global problems. As many of these problems, including crop productivity, public health and waste management, have major impacts in the developing world, the Journal especially reports on advances for and from developing regions. Some topics are not within the scope of the Journal. Please do not submit your manuscript if it falls into one of the following categories: · Virology · Simple isolation of microbes from local sources · Simple descriptions of an environment or reports on a procedure · Veterinary, agricultural and clinical topics in which the main focus is not on a microorganism · Data reporting on host response to microbes · Optimization of a procedure · Description of the biological effects of not fully identified compounds or undefined extracts of natural origin · Data on not fully purified enzymes or procedures in which they are applied All articles published in the Journal are independently refereed.
