The bioconversion of salinized land into healthy agricultural systems by utilizing low-rank coal (LRC) is a strategic approach for sustainable agricultural development. The aims of this study were: (1) to isolate bacterial strains associated with the rhizosphere of native plants in coal-containing soils, (2) to characterize their plant growth-promoting (PGP) and coal-solubilizing capabilities under laboratory conditions and (3) to evaluate their influence on the germination and growth of chia seeds under saline stress. Fourteen bacterial cultures were isolated from the rhizosphere of Artemisia annua L.

Article Synopsis
- - The coal industry is increasingly exploring microbial applications as sustainable alternatives to traditional methods for coal mining and processing, addressing environmental and economic challenges.
- - Microbial-based techniques like coal solubilization and beneficiation leverage surfactants to enhance efficiency and ecologically sound practices in coal fuel production.
- - Surfactants play a critical role in improving coal biodegradation and processing, acting as agents that modify surface tension and support microbial growth, thus promoting cleaner coal consumption.
