micropropagated P. gardneriana plantlets. In the first bioassay, the presence of roots in the plantlets resulted in
higher values of biometric features, such as leaf area, numbers of leaves and secondary roots, nodal segments,
fresh and dry weights of leaves; when compared to plantlets without roots. Roots well established also resulted in
higher levels of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll and a higher photosynthetic rate in micro
propagated P. gardneriana plantlets. Fr the second biassay, the PGPB inoculation was done with bacteria to
solubilize phosphate and phytohormone production, in addition to low pathogenic potential in the Galeria
mellonella larva animal model. The inoculation of the Bac109 and BP323EB consortium in plantlets rooted in vitro
had a positive effect on the root length of the plantlets during the acclimatization phase, which may favor the
long-term development of the plant. This study demonstrated that both in vitro rooting and inoculation of a
bacterial consortium may contribute to the growth of P. gardneriana during acclimatization, leading to higher
productivity and seedling quality.
