- Intervention effect Drought reduced lettuce germination percentages.
- Intervention effect Spirulina improved lettuce germination at 40% drought.
- Intervention effect Spirulina increased germination at higher drought levels relative to control.
- Intervention effect Sulfate-reducing bacteria increased germination at higher drought levels relative to control, with the strongest effect.
- Intervention effect Root elongation was unaffected across stress levels.
- Association Leaf area decreased as drought increased.
- Intervention effect Sulfate-reducing bacteria enhanced leaf area, especially at 80% drought.
- Association Control plants had lower relative water content as drought severity increased.
- Intervention effect Combined Spirulina and sulfate-reducing bacteria mitigated the water-content decline at 60% drought.
- Intervention effect Hydrogen peroxide levels increased under 60% and 80% drought.
- Intervention effect Combined Spirulina and sulfate-reducing bacteria elevated hydrogen peroxide at 60% and 80% drought.
- Observation Superoxide dismutase activity rose by 80% in non-treated plants.
- Intervention effect Spirulina enhanced superoxide dismutase activity across moderate and high drought.
- Intervention effect Sulfate-reducing bacteria enhanced superoxide dismutase activity across moderate and high drought.
- Intervention effect Catalase activity decreased at 80% drought in controls.
- Intervention effect Sulfate-reducing bacteria increased catalase activity at 80% stress.
- Association Fv/Fm ratio and PiABS declined as drought intensified.
- Intervention effect Sulfate-reducing bacteria improved Fv/Fm ratio and PiABS at 60% and 80% stress.
- Intervention effect Under severe drought, sulfate-reducing bacteria positively affected ABS/RC and ET0/RC ratios.
