Role Of Halophilic Microorganisms in the Bioremediation of Salt-Affected Soils
Keywords:
Halophilic microorganisms, saline soils, bio-remediation, halo toleranceAbstract
The biology that supports and restores higher creatures is influenced by the bacteria that live in the soil. Many different halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms, spanning numerous evolutionary groupings, predominate in the salt-affected soil types. When plants are stressed by salt, these bacteria may be able to promote plant development and release enzymes. Since plant growth is inhibited in high salinity soils, halophiles have the potential to improve plant growth and yield in salinity-affected soils. Recent study has highlighted the value of this environmentally benign method of using halophiles to bioremediate salt-affected soils and maximize crop yields under stress.
