Bacterium Pseudomonas spp. olive green (OG) was isolated from marine water, yet, it was characterized as plant growth promoting bacterium (PGPB). Multiple plant growth promoting traits of OG isolate were determined in vitro. It was tested positive for Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production with 29 µg ml⁻¹ of IAA yield, phosphate solubilization with 34 µg ml⁻¹ solubilization of Tri-calcium-phosphate and it showed maximum of 32 µg ml⁻¹ of ammonia production. OG isolate was affirming siderophore production, hydrocyanic acid (HCN) production and catalase production. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison was used to identify the isolate which showed its closest neighbor to be Pseudomonas fluoroscens strain BCPBMS-1. Efficacy of this PGPB was tested on the seedling growth of two test plants chickpea and green gram. Both the test plants treated with OG-based talc bioformulation showed significant growth promotion. Chickpea showed enhanced overall fresh biomass by 24%, overall dry biomass by 27% was observed after 15 days of seeded in pots. Green gram showed enhanced overall dry biomass by 28% was observed after 10 days of seeded in pots.
