Exploring the Plant Growth-Promoting Potential of a Purple Non-Sulfur Bacterium: Cereibacter sphaeroides PW15.
Article in Current microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are phototrophic microorganisms recognized for their ability to produce compounds beneficial for plant growth, increasing their interest as plant growth-promoting bacteria. This study investigates the growth-promoting traits of Cereibacter sphaeroides PW15 under both microaerobic light and aerobic dark conditions. The findings demonstrate that the PNSB isolate PW15 exhibits notable salt tolerance, phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation, and the production of several plant-beneficial metabolites, including indole-3-acetic acid, ammonia, siderophores, and 5-aminolevulinic acid. The presence of the nifH gene, which is associated with Mo-Fe nitrogenase, further confirmed its nitrogen-fixing potential. Additionally, C. sphaeroides PW15 formed biofilm on abiotic surfaces and significantly enhanced root and shoot growth in Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 upon inoculation. These results highlight the potential of C. sphaeroides PW15 as a promising candidate for use as an effective biofertilizer in sustainable agriculture.
