Plant associated bacteria can harboour numerous genetic traits that allow them to interact with plants and influence plant growth.

It is estimated that less than 1% of viable soil bacteria are culturable and therefore the non-culturable majority are likely to maintain a potentially novel array of plant growth promotion traits.
