t0“promotes grape growth”
e1“This study selected Bacillus subtilis B4 and Pseudomonas resinovorans B9 based on their high levels of production of extracellular polysaccharides and subjected them to pot and field experiments”
e2“Our results demonstrated that both strains significantly promoted the growth of grape shoots, reduced the salinity of soil, and increased the levels of phosphorus and potassium in both the plants and soil”
