Functional and Technological Characterization of Microorganisms Isolated from Wet Coffee Fermentation in Brazil: A Multivariate Approach for the Selection of Promising Isolates

Abstract Coffee fermentation is a stage of wet coffee processing carried out by microorganisms. This study aimed to characterize microorganisms isolated from wet coffee fermentation by their enzymatic potential and to evaluate how different stress conditions affect the selection...

Cultivable diversity and plant growth-promoting traits of free-living bacteria from coffee soils under contrasting fertilization systems

Abstract Brazilian coffee production relies heavily on mineral fertilizers, particularly nitrogen-based inputs. However, the intensive use of these fertilizers is associated with nutrient losses, elevated production costs, and environmental impacts, highlighting the need for more...
