Diversity, community distribution and growth promotion activities of endophytes associated with halophyte Murr.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the composition, diversity, distribution, and growth promotion activity of endophytic bacteria isolated from Murr. Consequently, a total of 109 endophytic bacteria affiliated to 3 phyla, 12 orders and 36 genera were isolated using nine different selective media, from which, was the dominant taxon containing seven orders at the phylum level; showed the highest diversity containing 12 genera at the family level. Based on PAST and SPSS analysis, species diversity and abundance were mostly isolated from nutritious soil condition (22 genera) and root tissue (27 genera).
