Both strains exhibited key plant growth\u2013promoting traits, including indole-3-acetic acid production, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, and nitrogen fixation. Under salinity levels of 50\u2013150\u00a0mM NaCl, bacterial inoculation was associated with improved plant performance, including enhanced biomass accumulation, improved photosystem II efficiency (Fv\/Fm, \u03a6\n                      <jats:sub>PSII<\/jats:sub>\n                      , PI\n                      <jats:sub>ABS<\/jats:sub>\n                      ), and increased pigment contents (chlorophylls and carotenoids), alongside modulation of antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, POD, CAT, and APX).
