Growth and productivity of rice are negatively affected by soil salinity. However, some salt-tolerant rhizosphere-inhabiting bacteria can improve salt resistance of plants, thereby augmenting plant growth and production. Here, we isolated a total of 53 plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from saline and non-saline areas in Bangladesh where electrical conductivity was measured as >7.45 and <1.80 dS/m, respectively. Bacteria isolated from saline areas were able to grow in a salt concentration of up to 2.60 mol/L, contrary to the isolates collected from non-saline areas that did not survive beyond 854 mmol/L. Among the salt-tolerant isolates, Bacillus aryabhattai, Achromobacter denitrificans, and Ochrobactrum intermedium, identified by comparing respective sequences of 16S rRNA using the NCBI GenBank, exhibited a higher amount of atmospheric nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and indoleacetic acid production at 200 mmol/L salt stress. Salt-tolerant isolates exhibited greater resistance to heavy metals and antibiotics, which could be due to the production of an exopolysaccharide layer outside the cell surface. Oryza sativa L. fertilized with B. aryabhattai MS3 and grown under 200 mmol/L salt stress was found to be favoured by enhanced expression of a set of at least four salt-responsive plant genes: BZ8, SOS1, GIG, and NHX1. Fertilization of rice with osmoprotectant-producing PGPR, therefore, could be a climate-change-preparedness strategy for coastal agriculture.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can effectively reduce the severity of different abiotic stresses like water stress, temperature stress, salt stress, etc. on plant growth and development. The study aimed at isolating salt-tolerant rhizobacteria followed by their morphological, biochemical and plant growth promotion traits evaluation. Sixteen root samples of nine different plant species were collected from two locations of Patuakhali, a coastal southern district of Bangladesh. Thirty rhizobacteria were isolated, fifteen from each location, to assess their halotolerance and plant growth promoting potential. The isolated rhizobacteria were subjected to morphological (viz. shape, colour and elevation), biochemical (viz. Gram reaction, catalase test and HCN production) and growth-promoting traits [viz. phosphate solubilizing ability, salt tolerance, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, and N2-fixation] characterization. Twenty-eight isolates were Gram positive, 27 were catalase positive, and nine showed varying degrees of phosphate solubilization on National Botanical Research Institute of Phosphate (NBRIP) medium. Isolate PWB5 showed the highest phosphate solubilizing index (PSI = 3.83±0.098) on the 6th day. To screen salt-tolerant rhizobacteria, the isolates were cultured in NBA media containing different (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12%, 15%) NaCl concentrations. Isolate PWB12 and PWB13 grew at 15% NaCl concentration. Eleven isolates exhibited IAA producing ability on Winogradsky medium amended with L-tryptophan among which four (PMB13, PMB14, PMB15 and PWB6) were strong IAA producers. Twenty-seven isolates were potential N2-fixer and among them, 20 were highly efficient, but none of the isolates was HCN producer. The rhizobacteria isolated in the current research work showed some potential plant growth-promoting traits which seem applicable for crop production, especially, under salt stress condition.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase enzyme reduce the level of stress, ethylene and stimulate plant growth under various biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The present study aims at characterizing efficient salt-tolerant, ACC deaminase containing Pseudomonas fluorescens strains with plant growth-promoting activity isolated from the rhizosphere of barley plants and evaluating the influence of potent plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolates on growth and yield of five barley cultivars under salinity stress. Plant growth and yield in barley cultivars following inoculation with salt-tolerant, ACC deaminase producing PGPR strains under salt stress were quantified. Results indicated that under various levels of salinity (50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl) inoculation with PGPRs had positive impact on growth parameters and yield of barley cultivars including plant height, spike length, weight and number, peduncle length, number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield, comparing to uninoculated control plants under salinity stress. Inoculation of barley cultivars with bacteria ameliorated the negative effects of salinity and resulted in increase in growth and yield. Besides, as the salinity levels increased, growth and yield of barley cultivars decreased; however, cultivars showed different responses to salt stress. This study demonstrates the vital role of rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase for increasing salt tolerance and consequently improving the growth and yield of barley plants under salinity stress.

Growth and productivity of rice is negatively affected by soil salinity. However, some salt-tolerant bacteria improve the health of plants under saline stress. In this study, 305 bacteria were isolated from paddy soil in Taoyuan, China. Among these, 162 strains were tested for salt-tolerance; 67.3%, 28.4%, and 9.3% of the strains could grow in media with NaCl concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 g/L, respectively. The phylogenic analysis of 74 of these 162 strains indicates that these bacteria belong to Bacillales (72%), Actinomycetales (22%), Rhizobiales (1%), and Oceanospirillales (4%). Among 162 strains, 30 salt-tolerant strains were screened for their plant-growth-promoting activities under axenic conditions at 3, 6, 9, and 12 g/L NaCl; 43%–97% of the strains could improve rice germination energy or germination capacity, while 63%–87% of the strains could increase shoot and root lengths. Among various plant-growth-promoting bacteria, TY0307 was the most effective strain for promoting the growth of rice, even at high salt stress. Its promotor effects were associated with its production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxycarboxylate deaminase, indole acetic acid, and siderophores; induction of proline accumulation; and reduction of the salt-induced malondialdehyde content. These results suggest that several strains isolated from paddy soil could improve rice salt tolerance and may be used in the development of biofertilizer.
