Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Bacteria isolated from saline areas grew in salt concentrations up to 2.60 mol/L, whereas isolates from non-saline areas did not survive beyond 854 mmol/L.
- Observation Bacillus aryabhattai exhibited a higher amount of atmospheric nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and indoleacetic acid production at 200 mmol/L salt stress.
- Observation Achromobacter denitrificans exhibited a higher amount of atmospheric nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and indoleacetic acid production at 200 mmol/L salt stress.
- Observation Ochrobactrum intermedium exhibited a higher amount of atmospheric nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and indoleacetic acid production at 200 mmol/L salt stress.
- Observation Salt-tolerant isolates exhibited greater resistance to heavy metals and antibiotics.
- Intervention effect Rice fertilized with B. aryabhattai MS3 and grown under 200 mmol/L salt stress showed enhanced expression of salt-responsive genes BZ8, SOS1, GIG and NHX1.
- Recommendation Fertilizing rice with osmoprotectant-producing PGPR could be a climate-change-preparedness strategy for coastal agriculture.
