Halo-Tolerant Phosphate-Solubilising Bacterium from Coral Reef: A Potential Bioagent for Phosphate Reclamation and Soil Fertility Enhancement

Coral-Derived Bacterium Shows Powerful Potential to Reclaim Phosphorus and Boost Crop Growth in Saline Soils

A newly studied halo-tolerant bacterium from coral reefs, Cronobacter muytjensii, demonstrates exceptional phosphate-solubilising, plant-growth-promoting, and antifungal abilities under high salinity—offering a sustainable solution for improving soil fertility and crop growth in salt-affected farmlands.
