Abstract Utilizing coastal land for agriculture presents challenges such as low water content, high soil salinity, and low organic compound content. To support plant growth under these conditions, biofertilizers composed of plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), especially those inhabiting coastal areas, are needed. The Parangkusumo sand dunes on the southern coast of Java, Indonesia, is a unique coastal ecosystem characterized by arid conditions, high temperatures, and high soil salinity. To date, no studies have reported the isolation of PGPR from this ecosystem. This study is the first to isolate and identify PGPR associated with Spinifex littoreus, a dominant plant species in the Parangkusumo sand dunes, which are adapted to the harsh condition of Parangkusumo sand dunes. Ten rhizobacterial isolates were obtained, with five identified as members of the Bacillaceae family. All isolates demonstrated phosphate solubilization activity, while seven exhibited cellulolytic activity. One isolate, Priestia aryabhattai strain 2, notably showed phosphate solubilization and nitrogen fixation activities. The findings of this PGPR activity screening offer valuable insights for developing biofertilizers tailored for coastal agricultural applications.
