Plant growth-promoting salt-tolerant bacteria can increase plant resistance to salt stress and correspond to an environmentally friendly approach to alleviate salt stress. With this approach, forty different bacterial species were isolated from salt-affected soil of Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India. Isolates were investigated for the expression of plant growth-promoting traits at five salt stress levels (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 g L⁻¹ NaCl). Among these forty isolates, AA-P11 was the potent strain for maintaining ACC deaminase activity, phosphate solubilization, indole acetic acid, siderophore, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide and exopolysaccharide production under salt stress. Isolate AA-P11 was identified as Enterobacter cloacae strain KBPD. In the pot study, maximum shoot length, root length, fresh and dry weights were recorded in Vigna radiata L. when supplemented with KBPD in the presence of 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM of …
