- Intervention effect Co-inoculation of Bacillus pumilus JL-C and B. halotolerans XW-3 with corn straw gave the most significant growth-promoting effects on alfalfa compared with the control in saline-alkali soil pot experiments.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation increased proline, soluble sugar and protein contents in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation reduced malondialdehyde content in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation lowered soil pH and electrical conductivity.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation elevated the activities of key soil enzymes.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation increased soil available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
- Intervention effect Co-inoculation increased soil organic matter content.
- Observation The salt-alkali-tolerant Bacillus pumilus JL-C isolated from saline-alkali soil exhibited multiple plant-growth-promoting properties including nitrogen fixation and production of indole-3-acetic acid, siderophores and ACC deaminase.
- Observation The salt-alkali-tolerant B. halotolerans XW-3 isolated from saline-alkali soil exhibited multiple plant-growth-promoting properties including nitrogen fixation and production of indole-3-acetic acid, siderophores and ACC deaminase.
- Observation The pot experiments were confirmed by field experiments.
- Observation The bacterial community composition in the alfalfa rhizosphere changed, with shifts in the relative abundance of several bacterial taxa, as shown by 16S rRNA sequencing.
