Rhizobacteria are known to ameliorate salinity stress through a wide variety of mechanisms including the production of aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD). Application of ACCD positive halophilic rhizobacteria ameliorate soil salinity along with its plant growth promotion activity. An effect of the inoculation of ACCD and antioxidant positive and halophilic Enterobacter sp. PR14 was reported on the seed germination and growth of rice and millet seedlings grown in saline and alkaline soil was evaluated. The rhizobacterial strain grew well over a high level of NaCl (15–90 M); at a wide range of pH (5–9); and produced a wide variety of plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits viz. indole-acetic acid (13 µg mL⁻¹), ACCD (5.20 M mg⁻¹ h⁻¹), phosphate solubilization (0.99 g mL⁻¹) and antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (5.143 IU mg⁻¹ protein), catalase (0.43 IU mg⁻¹ protein) and …
