The present study reports on chromium (VI) tolerance of two cyanobacterial strains Nostoc linckia and Nostoc spongiaeforme isolated from salt affected soils using uni-algal and bi-algal systems. Besides distinct halophilism, the two strains exhibited remarkable tolerance to chromium (VI) and revealed 1.2 to 2.8 times more chlorophyll in the presence of the metal. While phycobilins and carotenoi...

Among the abiotic stress parameters salinity is major problems to agriculture in coastal areas. Salinity leads stunted growthand reduced yields.Bacteria isolated from saline environmentswere physiologically adapted conditions, such tolerant microorganisms provide a means of cultivation crops influencedareas. Halotolerant bacteria which have plant growth promoting activity, bacteria(PGPB) may be...

To feed the ever-increasing population under changing climate scenarios, it is imperative to investigate role of halophytes, which are equipped with special adaptation mechanisms cope extreme conditions salinity. In current review, we aimed report newly identified bioactive secondary metabolites that might play a in establishing rhizosphere microbe associations, elucidate negative impacts salt ...
