Salt stress mitigating potential of bacterial endophytes isolated from Moringa oleifera.

ABSTRACT: The current experiment intended to investigate the plant growth-promoting effects of the bacterial endophytes, identified from Moringa oleifera, under salinity stress. These endophytic isolates, Serratia marcescens (KR-27), Klebsiella aerogenes (KL-4), and Lelliottia amnigena (KS-7) were checked for the phosphate solubilization activity, production of indole acetic acid (IAA) and siderophores, employing the quantitative calorimetric techniques. Amongst the tested strains, KS-7 produced substantial amount of IAA while the isolate KR-27 exhibit strong siderophores production and effective phosphate solubilization. Secondly, the effect of endophytic bacterial strains was checked on the rice plants' morphological parameters in vitro. As a result, the endophytes slightly enhanced the growth ind
