Potential for Plant Growth Promotion of Rhizobacteria Associated with Salicornia Growing in Tunisian Hypersaline Soils

Figure 1

DGGE analysis performed on the bulk (left panel) and rhizospheric (right panel) soil bacterial community. (a) In the left panel, DGGE patterns of the bulk soils collected at sites BDV20, BDV11 and BDV4. In the right panel, DGGE patterns of the rhizospheric soils collected at sites BDV20, BDV11, and BDV4. The numbers represented the three analysed replicates. (b) Principal Component Analysis based on the DGGE profiles of the bacterial community inhabiting bulk (left) and rhizospheric (right) soil associated with Salicornia specimens. (c) Taxonomic identification of bacterial 16S rRNA sequences excised from DGGE bands cut from rhizospheric and bulk soil profiles.
