Halotolerant biofilm-producing rhizobacteria mitigate seawater-induced salt stress and promote growth of tomato

Abstract Biofilm-producing rhizobacteria (BPR) enhance productivity and mitigate abiotic stresses in plants. This study showed that 21 out of 65 halotolerant rhizobacteria could build biofilms. The components of the biofilm matrices i.e., extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are proteins, curli,...
