Supplementary Table 1: Functional Diversity in Bacterial Isolates from Rhizosphere Of

Supplementary Table 1: Functional diversity in bacterial isolates from rhizosphere of Saccharum munja colonizing abandoned Bhatti mine and bulk region(Siderophore activity was categorized on the basis of the diameter of the yellow-orange colour zone developed around the colony in CAS assay, 1+:0.1–0.25 cm; 2+:0.26–0.5 cm; 3+:0.51–0.75 cm; 4+:0.76–1.0 cm; and 5+:>1.0 cm; Phosphate solubilization activity was categorized on the basis of the diameter of the yellow colour zone developed around the colony on phosphate solubilizing medium,1+:0.1–0.40 cm; 2+:0.41–0.80 cm; 3+:0.81–1.20 cm; 4+:1.21–1.60 cm; and 5+:>1.60 cm; IAA activity was categorized on the basis of the diameter of the red or purple halo developed on the nitrocellulose membrane after treating with Salkowski reagent, 1+:0.1–0.20 cm; 2+:0.21–0.40 cm; 3+:0.41–0.60 cm; 4+:0.60–0.80 cm; 5+: >0.80 cm;ACC deaminase activity was categorized on the basis of the extent of bacterial growth (%) on DF Salts medium supplemented with ACC in comparison to their positive control maintained on nitrogen supplemented medium,1+:1–20%; 2+: 21–40 %; 3+:41–60 %; 4+:61–80%; and 5+:81–100%; Nitrogen-fixation ability was categorized on the basis of the extent of bacterial growth (%) on DNFC) medium in comparison to the positive control maintained on N-supplemented medium,1+:1–20%; 2+:21–40 %; 3+:41–60 %; 4+:61–80%; and 5+:81–100%; Polyphosphate activity was categorized on the basis of the diameter of the bacterial colony on selective acetate minimal medium,1+:0.1–0.40 cm; 2+: 0.41–0.80 cm; 3+:0.81–1.20 cm; 4+:1.21–1.60 cm; and 5+:>1.60 cm;Cyanogenic activity was categorized on the basis of the intensity of colour change of picrate paper lined in sealed Petri plate of bacterial culture maintained on glycine supplemented Kings B medium, 1+:light orange; 2+:orange; 3+:orangish-brown; 4+:brown; and 5+:intense brown)
