Characterization of plant growth-promoting bacteria isolated from rhizosphere of lentil (Lens culinaris L.) grown in two different soil orders of eastern India.

ABSTRACT: Lentil, which is an important grain legume, can be co-inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobia and rhizobacteria to boost nitrogen fixation, increase biomass, and a possibility for early nodulation. The goal of the ongoing study was to identify plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in the rhizosphere of lentil growing soils in eastern India. Sixteen rhizosphere bacteria were isolated from two different soil orders, and their capacity to solubilize phosphate and generate hydrogen cyanide (HCN), siderophore, and indole acetic acid (IAA) was assessed. The three best strains were selected for compatibility study with twenty Rhizobium isolated from lentil root nodules. The isolated rhizobacteria were able to produce ammonia and different mycolytic enzymes. Isolate B3 produced the h
