• microorganisms. Nanomaterials, particularly nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), have garnered attention for sustaining rhizobacterial viability, high loading capacity, high biodegradability, and biocompatibility, which facilitate microbial interactions. In this study, nHA was synthesized using a hydrothermal method and

• rhizobacterium was identified with complete match to Brevundimonas olei strain Prd2. Similarly, Tb rhizobacterium showed 100% similarity to Bacillus altitudinis strain NPB34b. Based on this reseach, nanohydroxyapatite could be the potential carrier to protect rhizobacteria from external stressors and to maintain

• their viability over the long term. These findings indicate the potential of a nanohydroxyapatite–rhizobacteria system as a promising environmentally friendly fertilizer.
