1Potential claims from the literature
Reported to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at concentrations ranging from 11.22 to 31.87 µg mL⁻¹, contributing to plant growth promotion
Reported to produce ammonia, a trait associated with plant growth-promoting activity
Reported to significantly enhance shoot growth and secondary root development in glasshouse assays
Reported to promote plant growth and development as a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR), either directly or indirectly by suppressing diseases
Reported to increase crop yield by 20–40% through the biological activity of melanin produced by melanogenic Bt strains acting as a phytostimulant
Reported to solubilize phosphate, a trait observed in 21 of 25 tested strains, associated with plant growth promotion
Reported to produce siderophores, a trait associated with plant growth promotion and biocontrol, observed in 11 of 25 tested strains
Reported to exhibit antagonistic effects against plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi, contributing to disease suppression
Reported to control phytopathogenic fungi via chitinolytic activity
Reported to possess antimicrobial potential, including biocontrol activity, through production of various antimicrobial compounds
Reported to improve plant resistance to various environmental (abiotic and biotic) stress factors as an endophytic or plant-associated strain
Reported to produce nematicidal components effective against a broad range of nematode parasites, offering potential for nematode management in agriculture
