Abstract: Biofertilizers consists of the microorganisms bringing about the improvement of the nutrients of the soil enhancing their accessibility to the crops. Plant nutrients form the most vital components of the sustainable agriculture. Producing healthy crops for the fulfillment of the demands of the world's growing population is completely dependent upon kind of the fertilizers being used to provide the plants with all the major nutrients but more dependability on the chemical fertilizers is destroying the environmental ecology and negatively influencing the health of humans. Thus, using microbes as bioinoculants is believed to be the best substitute of chemical fertilizers as eco-friendly manner for plant growth and soil fertility. These microbes are known to be the potent tool to provide substantial benefits to crops for sustainable agriculture. The beneficial microbes colonize the plant (epiphytic, endophytic and rhizospheric) systems of crops and plays significant role in nutrient uptake from surrounding ecosystems of plants. The plant associates microbes have ability to promote growth of plant under the natural as well as extreme conditions. These plant growth promoting microbes enhance the plant growth by various direct and indirect plant growth promoting mechanisms such as biological nitrogen fixation, the production of various plant growth hormones, siderophores, HCN, various hydrolytic enzymes and solubilization of potassium, zinc, and phosphorus. Extensive work on the biofertilizers has been done and even available which clearly reveals that these microbes possess the potential of providing the vital nutrients to the crops in adequate quantities for the enrichment of yield of the crops without disturbing the environment.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria as biofertilizers
TL;DR: This review focuses on the known, the putative, and the speculative modes-of-action of PGPR, which include fixing N2, increasing the availability of nutrients in the rhizosphere, positively influencing root growth and morphology, and promoting other beneficial plant–microbe symbioses.

Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review aspects of soil science, plant physiology and genetics underpinning crop bio-fortification strategies, as well as agronomic and genetic approaches currently taken to biofortify food crops with the mineral elements most commonly lacking in human diets: iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iodine (I) and selenium (Se).
Bacteria with ACC deaminase can promote plant growth and help to feed the world
TL;DR: It is argued that the ability of plant growth-promoting bacteria that produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase to lower plant ethylene levels, often a result of various stresses, is a key component in the efficacious functioning of these bacteria.
