The effect of co-inoculating beans and soybeans with rhizobia and Chryseobacterium, a plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR), was studied under conditions of mild saline stress. Chryseobacterium balustinum Aur9 was used with Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 or R. etli ISP42 to inoculate common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), or jointly with Ensifer (Sinorhizobium)Chryseobacterium, a plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR), was studied under conditions of mild saline stress. Chryseobacterium balustinum Aur9 was used with Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 or R. etli ISP42 to inoculate common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), or jointly with Ensifer (Sinorhizobium)Chryseobacterium balustinum Aur9 was used with Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 or R. etli ISP42 to inoculate common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), or jointly with Ensifer (Sinorhizobium)CIAT899 or R. etli ISP42 to inoculate common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), or jointly with Ensifer (Sinorhizobium) fredii SMH12 and HH103 to inoculate soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill). The effect of co-inoculation was studied by following nodule primordia initiation, nodulation kinetics and symbiotic performance in plants grown under moderate saline conditions (25 mM NaCl). In common bean, co-inoculation improved nodule primordia formation when compared with single inoculation (R. tropici CIAT899). However, co-inoculation did not provide benefits in the development of nodule primordia in soybean with E. fredii SMH12. The kinetic of nodulation in bean was also favored by double inocula resulting in a higher number of nodules. Long-term effects of co-inoculation on beans and soybeans depended on the rhizobial species used. In both, control and saline conditions, co-inoculation of R. tropici CIAT899 and C. balustinum Aur9 improved bean growth when compared with the single inoculation (CIAT899). However, the positive effect of double inocula on plant growth did not occur when using R. etli ISP42.

Soybean plants receiving double inoculation (E. fredii SMH12 and C. balustinum Aur9) showed better symbiotic performance, mostly under saline stress, than with a single inoculation. The results indicate that co-inoculation with C. balustinum and rhizobia under mild saline conditions partially relieves the saltstress effects, although do not always result advantageous for symbiotic N2 fixation in legume plants.Aur9) showed better symbiotic performance, mostly under saline stress, than with a single inoculation.
