These microorganisms can stimulate plant growth by nutrients acquisition in poor soils through nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilizing, phytate mineralization besides of the phytohormone production that help in the survival stress and can stimulate growth of plant parts several. Some molecules produced by microrganisms inhibits the action of phytopathogenic agents or can induce the plant resistance. Thus, the maize microbiome investigation can contribute for prospecting of microorganisms with potential for use as plant inoculant focused on the development of cheaper, environmentally-sound and sustainable agricultural techniques. aInoculante aMicrorganismo aMilho1 aOLIVEIRA-PAIVA, C.
