Description
Iryna Kulkova, Jakub Dobrzyński, and Barbara Wróbel test a salt-tolerant bacterium as a soybean helper, in a 2026 three-year pot experiment. The strain, Serratia sp. KF23, came from isolation work and tolerates wide ranges of salt, acidity, and temperature. It makes plant hormones, frees nutrients, and forms protective biofilms even under salty conditions.
Soybeans grew with or without the bacterium at three salt levels. Inoculated plants under salt stress grew longer roots, heavier shoots, and heavier pods, with more chlorophyll and less stress damage. Soil nitrogen rose at the highest salt level. The strain looks promising for keeping soybean productive on salt-affected land.
