From Sea to Soil: Marine Bacillus subtilis enhancing chickpea production through in vitro and in vivo plant growth promoting traits.

Various strategies are used to augment agricultural output in response to the escalating food requirements stemming from population expansion. Out of various strategies, the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) has shown promise as a viable technique in implementing new agricultural practices. The study of PGPB derived from rhizospheric soil is extensive, but there is a need for more exploration of marine microorganisms.

Investigating marine Bacillus as an effective growth promoter for chickpea.

Background: Microorganisms have characteristics that aid plant growth and raise the level of vital metabolites in plants for better growth including primary and secondary metabolites as well as several developmental enzymes. Marine bacteria must endure harsh environmental circumstances for their survival so it produces several secondary metabolites to protect themselves. Such metabolites might likewise be advantageous for a plant's growth.
