Eutrophication is the process which causes ecosystems such as lakes and rivers to increase in fertility due to a higher level of nutrients entering the lake or marine environment (Mayhew, 2015). This results in a growth of plants such as algae. As these algae plants die, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria cause decay, therefore use up the oxygen within the marine environment (Credo, 2015). Eutrophication has significant impacts on water quality of rivers and lakes within the Waikato region. Although…

This bacteria directly increases nutrient uptake from the soil, reducing the overuse of fertilizers and accumulation of excess nitrates and phosphates in soil. Yang coined the term "Induced Systematic Tolerance" or IST to explain PGPR properties of physicals and chemical changes to aid…
