Implication

Controlled experiment shows increased soil microbial diversity following biofertilizer application in maize, indicating improved community functionality.

Key Points

Application of a bacterial biofertilizer heightened soil microbial diversity and evenness, while overall metabolic activity levels remained statistically comparable.
Chemical fertilizer doses of 30 and 40 mg per kg combined with Priestia megatherium increased functional indexes without altering average well-color development.
Assessment using Biolog EcoPlates evaluated Shannon diversity in potted maize soils, highlighting enriched community structure but calling for long-term field validation.
