Use of Two PGPB Strains for the Valorization of Wastewater Sludge and Formulation of a Biofertilizer for the Recovery of <i>Quercus ilex</i>.

ABSTRACT: In response to the growing demand for agricultural production and the need for more sustainable practices, the use of biofertilizers based on the valorization of agricultural residues is presented as an alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers. This approach seeks to minimize environmental impact and improve soil health in agroforestry systems. The present work studies the effect of two plant growth-promoting bacterial strains (PGPB), Bacillus pretiosus (C1) and Pseudomonas agronomica (C2) on Quercus ilex (holm oak) seedlings. Taxonomic diversity was evaluated by massive sequencing of amplicons of the 16S rRNA gene, as well as the metabolic diversity and antibiotic resistance profile of the bacterial communities. The study also evaluated the impact of PGPB strai
