Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Bacterial isolates from three halophytes included several named genera.
- Observation Some bacterial isolates grew at up to 3 M or 4 M NaCl.
- Observation Non-culturable bacteria included five commonly identified phyla or groups.
- Observation Halomonas and Kushneria were consistently isolated from soil and plant roots across collections.
- Intervention effect Halomonas inoculation stimulated alfalfa growth at 1% NaCl.
- Intervention effect Planococcus inoculation stimulated alfalfa growth at 1% NaCl.
- Observation Halomonas was recovered from sterilized roots of inoculated alfalfa, indicating endophytic establishment.
