Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to influence positively plant growth by various direct or indirect mechanisms. The objective of this study was to characterize and identified a bacterium was isolated from the wheat rhizosphere of an semi arid area Meknes (Morocco). The studied strain possess several PGPR trais such as nitrogen fixation ability, phosphate solubilization, production of auxins and Ammonia production. Based on their 16S rDNA sequences, the strain were identified as Pantoea agglomerans 20- 19. This Pantoea agglomerans 20-19 is capable of IAA, ammonia production, nitrogen fixation and solubilization phosphorus. These results showed that Pantoea agglomerans 20-19 with its PGPR traits could consitute a good biofertilizer in semi arid area.
