Salinity ranks among the most severe environmental stressors that limit crop productivity.
Use of microbial inoculants with desired traits is believed to be effective strategy to combat
plant abiotic stress. Therefore, the objective was to isolate salt tolerant Bacillus spp. with
multifunctional plant growth promoting traits including biofilm development and to evaluate
its performance under salt stress conditions. We isolated and characterized a novel salt
tolerant isolate of Bacillus sp. FAB10 with multifunctional traits by screening of 56 selected …
