Phytohormone Production by the Endophyte Bacillus safensis TS3 Increases Plant Yield and Alleviates Salt Stress.

ABSTRACT: Endophytic bacteria can be used to overcome the effect of salinity stress and promote plant growth and nutrient uptake. Bacillus safensis colonizes a wide range of habitats due to survival in extreme environments and unique physiological characteristics, such as a high tolerance for salt, heavy metals, and ultraviolet and gamma radiations. The aim of our study was to examine the salt resistance of the endophytic strain TS3 B. safensis and its ability to produce phytohormones and verify its effect on plant yield in field trials and the alleviation of salt stress in pot experiments. We demonstrate that the strain TS3 is capable of producing enzymes and phytohormones such as IAA, ABA and tZ. In pot experiments with radish and oat plants in salinization, the strain TS3 contribute
