A profound need to explore eco-friendly methods to practice sustainable agriculture leads to the research and exploration of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs). Biofilms are assemblages of microbial communities within a self-secreted exopolymeric matrix, adhering to different biotic and abiotic surfaces and performing a variety of desired and undesired functions. Biofilm formation by PGPRs is governed by effective root colonization of the host plant in providing plant growth promotion and stress management. Biofilms can also provide a suitable environment for the synthesis and entrapment of nanoparticles. Together, nanoparticles and PGPRs may contribute towards biocontrol and crop management. This review discusses the significance of biofilms in agriculture and their confluence with different types of nanoparticles for plant protection and improved crop production.
为了探索生态友好型方法以实践可持续农业，人们非常需要研究和探索植物促生根际细菌（PGPR）。生物膜是微生物群落在自我分泌的胞外聚合基质中的集合体，附着在不同的生物和非生物表面，并发挥各种所需和不需要的功能。PGPR 的生物膜形成受其对宿主植物的有效定植的控制，定植为植物提供生长促进和应激管理。生物膜也可以为纳米粒子的合成和捕获提供合适的环境。纳米粒子和 PGPR 一起可能有助于生物防治和作物管理。本综述讨论了生物膜在农业中的重要性，以及它们与不同类型的纳米粒子在植物保护和提高作物产量方面的融合。
