The impact of Bacillus subtilis NJ22, a Fe-resilient soil isolate as a potent plant Growth-Promoting agent to Spinacia oleracea L
Bacillus subtilis; Bioinoculant; Fe-tolerance; PGPR; Spinach
A soil isolate Bacillus subtilis NJ22 showed remarkable Fe tolerance up to 500g/mL. Along with Nitrogen fixation and phosphate and potassium solubilisation, the isolate NJ22 also showed other plant growth promoting traits including IAA, Ammonia, Siderophore, HCN production capabilities. The isolate, NJ22 substantially improved the growth of Spinacia oleracea in Fe-stressed soil. Soluble Fe content increased in soil containing PGPR.
