Rhizospheric and root-endophyte bacteria can stimulate plant growth through diverse biochemical mechanisms and pathways, particularly under biotic and abiotic stresses. For this reason, biotechnological trends on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) application as biofertilizers, bioremediators, and stress alleviators are gaining increasing interest as ecofriendly strategies for sustainable agriculture management and soil restoration. The first steps needed to implement these technologies are isolation, screening, and characterization of PGPR that can be potentially applied as bioinoculants to alleviate biotic and/or abiotic stresses. Therefore, a complete and accurate methodological study and laboratory techniques are required to warrant the correct achievement of these steps. This review compiles and details the fundamentals, methods, and procedures of key protocols used in isolation and characterization of PGPR for plant stress alleviation.
