Salt stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses leading to reduced agricultural productivity. Polysaccharides from seaweed have been used as biostimulants to promote crop growth and improve plant resistance to abiotic stress. In this study, PGPR strain sp. BK01 was isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat, and it was characterized for phosphorus (Pi) dissolution, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, ammonia (NH) and exopolysaccharides (EPS). In particular, strain BK01 can efficiently produce extracellular polysaccharide with a yield of 12.86 g/L, using sorbitol as carbon source. BK01 EPS was identified as an heteropolysaccharide with Mw 3.559 × 10 Da, composed of (D)-galactose (75.3%), (D)-glucose (5.5%), (L)-rhamnose (5.5%), (D)-galactouronic acid (4.9%) and (D)-glucuronic acid (8.8%). The present work aims to highlight the effect of the BK01 EPS on growth and biochemical changes in under salt stress (100 mM). The purified BK01 EPS at a concentration of 100 mg/L efficiently promoted the growth of plants in pot assays, improved the chlorophyll content, enhanced the activities of SOD, POD and CAT, and decreased the content of MDA. This results suggested that the polysaccharides produced by PGPR strain sp. BK01 can be used as biostimulants to promote plant growth and improve plant resistance to salt stress.
