Soil salinity is one of the most important factors reducing agricultural productivity worldwide. Halophilic plant growth-promoting bacteria (H-PGPB) represent an alternative method of alleviating saline stress in crops of agricultural interest. In this study, the following halophilic bacteria were evaluated: sp.

Halophilic and halotolerant bacteria of the root soil of were analyzed in this study as there is little evidence regarding its associated microbiology. Soil was sampled from the roots of to obtain the cultivable bacteria.
