Isolation and characterization of salt-stress-tolerant rhizosphere soil bacteria and their effects on plant growth-promoting properties.

ABSTRACT: PGPR has a higher potential impact on agricultural crops. It enhances plant growth and development in a variety of adverse environmental conditions, including biotic and abiotic stresses. The PGPR is commercially vital since it is more efficient, safe for the environment, and beneficial to the economy. Nowadays, salt stress has an impact on the agricultural ecosystem. Salt-tolerant PGPR can directly stimulate plant growth and development by producing a variety of metabolites and phytohormones. The current study looked at the isolation of salt-tolerant bacterial species and their ability to stimulate plant development. Four bacterial species were chosen for their better salt stress tolerance (0-5%). They were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing: Solibacillus silvestris BR1, Peribacillus frigo
