The disclosure, in one aspect, relates to compositions containing non-pathogenic Burkholderia species SSG and/or extracts from SSG cultures and methods of making and using the same. Also disclosed are methods for treating and preventing plant diseases caused by pathogens, the methods including applying the disclosed compositions to plants and/or soil, diseased leaf debris, or other plant growth media surrounding the plants. Finally, disclosed are methods for increasing plant growth using the disclosed compositions. The compositions are effective as well as environmentally benign and are not detrimental to human or animal health This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

Disclosed are novel plant growth promoting formulations. The formulations of the present disclosure comprise microorganisms of the species Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus pumilus, Kribbella flavida, and Micrococcus luteus and can be used to promote plant growth and thereby reduce the time required to grow mature plants.

The present invention relates to novel synergistic compositions comprising known “clean-label” antimicrobial substances as well as processes for stabilizing food substances against typical food borne spoilage microorganisms and/or pathogens. It is a further object of the invention to provide novel combinations of “clean label” antimicrobials which may be employed in such a process.

Whole cell based biostimulant compositions and methods for improving agricultural productivity the compositions including: a microbial consortium having gammaproteobacterial methanotroph. As a result of these methanotrophs, the biostimulant composition enables plant performance improvement, utilization of methane, and facilitates improved nitrogen fixation in plants. The composition also helps in reducing the need of external chemical fertilizers for plant growth, development, performance and/or survival.
