Abstract
The rhizosphere is the narrow zone of soil surrounding the root, which is rich with nutrients provided by the plant. Microbial flora in the rhizosphere differs from the one found in soil in the numbers and species distribution. Many bacterial strains, mainly from genus Bacillus and group of fluorescent pseudomonads, isolated from the rhizosphere show positive effects on the plant growth. The aim of proposed project is comparison of tomato rhizosphere bacteria in relation to soil type and age of the plant, as well as isolation of rhizobacteria with positive effects on seed germination and plant growth and bacteria that could protect tomato plants from pathogenic microorganisms.
