摘要

Maize (Zea mays L.), a staple food consumed worldwide, has extensive applications across various industries, including paper production, ethanol manufacturing, and the food sector. In our study, We conducted a series of experiments to assess the growth-enhancing abilities of selected bacteria, focusing on their capacity for siderophore production, phosphate and zinc solubilization, emission of hydrogen cyanide and their antifungal activity against Fusarium Spp. Out of 35 plant growth-promoting bacterial isolates 14 indigenous PGPBs were identified for in detail analysis. Our methodological approach comprised four levels of rigorous screening, employing a combination of PGPB consortia. Each screening phase applied, to restrict from 509 potential combinations to 7 that exhibited significant enhancements for all biochemical parameters under salinity conditions of 100, 200, and 300 mM. Furthermore, physiological parameters carotenoids, Anthocyanin and proline content of the plants with bacterial consortium inoculation, concerning untreated control in the presence of salt stress. The use of a bacterial consortium has the potential to stimulate plant growth and could be considered a bioinoculant for improving maize crops.
