Comparison of Two <i>Bacillus</i> Strains Isolated from the Coastal Zone in Barley (<i>Hordeum vulgare</i> L.) Under Salt Stress.

ABSTRACT: Salt stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors that negatively affects sustainable crop production, agricultural productivity, and microbial life. Increasing salt stress negatively affects the growth and development of barley, posing a threat to global food security. It is now known that inoculation of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has significant potential in increasing stress tolerance and yield in agricultural products. This study focused on the effects of Bacillus cereus CUN6 and Bacillus thuringiensis SIRB2, isolated from the coastal zone and tested for their PGPR capacities, on physiological (root length, shoot length, biomass, dry weight) and biochemical (total chlorophyll, total protein, hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxidation, peroxidase
