Abstract Hippophae rhamnoides L. is a plant of immense ethnopharmacological importance and is a known source for
various valuable biochemicals and nutraceuticals. The production of folate, a vitamin involved in several vital functions, in
this plant is rather poorly understood. Herein, we investigate the hypothesis that rhizobial bacteria serve the plant in this
essential vitamin’s biosynthesis. Bacterial strains of Bacillus, Azorhizobium, Frankia, Paenibacillus, Brevibacillus and
Pseudomonas, were isolated from the rhizosphere of the plant. HPLC and LCMS were used to trace the production of
intra and extra-cellular folate by representative rhizospheric bacterial strains in vitro. From the seventeen functionally
characterized bacterial… More >
