Isolation and identification of halotolerant soil bacteria from coastal Patenga area [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2017 Objective Halotolerant bacteria have multiple uses viz. fermentation with lesser sterility control and industrial production of bioplastics. Moreover, it may increase the crop productivity of coastal saline lands in Bangladesh by transferring the salt ...
