Crop-specific endophytic colonization by a novel, salt-tolerant, N2-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing Gluconacetobacter sp. from wild rice.
A novel salt-tolerant, N2-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing, Gluconacetobacter sp. (PA12) tagged with gusA gene, colonized Porteresia coarctata (wild rice) and Pokkali (salt-tolerant variety) more intensively when compared to Ponni (salt-sensitive variety). This was confirmed using a colony-counting method.
