The strain achieved rapid phosphate solubilization (177.96\u2009\u00b1\u20095.26 \u00b5g\/mL within 24 h; molybdenum-antimony assay), zinc solubilization, and ammonia production, EPS production, produced stress-alleviating enzymes (cellulase and protease), and biosurfactant production. Crucially, it maintained robust growth and phosphate-mobilizing capacity under extreme abiotic stresses: pH 4.5\u20138.5, 7.5% NaCl salinity, and drought-mimicking low water activity (a\n                    <jats:sub>w<\/jats:sub>\n                    0.950, 32% sorbitol). The strain was non-hemolytic and non-pathogenic to plants. In wheat trials, ST3M-39a inoculation significantly increased the growth parameters (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 vs. those of the uninoculated controls), resulting in 85\u201392% of the biomass stimulation observed with diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer. This multifunctional stress tolerance, coupled with its near-fertilizer efficacy, positioned ST3M-39a as a transformative bioinoculant for degraded soils.
