Salinity abiotic stress is increasing day by day due to continuous global warming
and climate change. This is also becoming one of the major causes behind the
reduction in crop production. Plant–bacteria interaction plays an essential role
in improving crop yield without using any chemical fertilizers. The present
study aims to characterize the interaction between plant-growth-promoting
bacteria (PGPB) and their role in mitigating salinity stress for local variety crops.
Therefore, in this work, two PGPB, namely, Bacillus proteolyticus Cyn1 and
Bacillus safensis Cyn2, were isolated from rhizospheric soil of the Chilean
common bean ecotype “Sapito” (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and their PGPB traits
were analyzed. Cyn1 can produce NH3 and HCN and also secrete siderophores,
whereas Cyn2 produced NH3 and siderophores but responded negatively to
HCN production. Both the isolated bacteria have shown a positive result for
ACC deaminase production, phosphate solubilization, and catalase enzyme
secretion. Under all three tested abiotic stresses, i.e., temperature, water, and
salinity, both the bacteria and their consortium have demonstrated positive
responses. Cyn1 under temperature stress and water stress can produce a
biofilm network to combat the stress. While under salinity stress, both the PGPB
isolates indicated the production of stress components and cytoplasmic
inclusion bodies. Based on the response, among all other abiotic stresses,
salinity stress was chosen for further plant–bacteria interaction study and
growth. Visible root colonization of the bacteria has been observed in
comparison to the control. The germination index was 100% for all
experimental setups of seed bacterization, both under control conditions and
salinity stress. Both bacteria responded with good PGP traits that helped in the
growth of healthy plants after the bacterial treatment in final pot experiments.
Additionally, the consortium and the plants treated with Cyn1 have
demonstrated high production of photosynthetic pigments in both
experimental setups. Both B. proteolyticus Cyn1 and B. safensis Cyn2 have
shown promising PGP characters and efficient response against toxicity related
to salinity. Hence, both of these bacteria and consortium can be used for
improved agricultural production of Chilean native common beans in the
near future.
