This analytical article analyzes the role of microorganisms characteristic of halophytic plants living in saline soils, in particular rhizosphere and endophytic bacteria, in plant growth and increasing soil fertility. Phytohormone production of bacteria, provision of bioavailable forms of nutrients, as well as the contribution of bacteria to induced resistance against salt stress are covered based on modern scientific sources. The article also discusses the prospects of creating environmentally friendly biofertilizers based on halophyte-compatible microbes.
