The present study demonstrates the efficacy of consortium inoculum formulated with two salt-tolerant, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase producing, Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus strain AIOA1 (MH645748) and Paenibacillus sp. strain SG_AIOA2 (MH645749) on common bean plants grown under saline stress (100 mM) conditions. Initially, the common bean seeds were inoculated by coating with bacterial consortium for seedling performance under saline stress conditions. The consortium inoculated common bean seedlings has down-regulated the ethylene levels by ~61% and its associated growth inhibition through ACC deaminase activity. It has significantly enhanced seed germination percentage, root/shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight of root/shoot biomass, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll and carotenoid content as well as osmoprotectants (proline, total soluble sugar …
