Quantification of Methylobacterium symbioticum on leaf (CFU/g) of maize plants treated and non-treated with Methylobacterium symbioticum and grown with different doses of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, and 200%) 4 weeks after application. Three biological replicates were used for each treatment and dose of nitrogen
