Nikolay Vassilev

It depends on what would be the application of the newly isolates microorganisms... To isolate plant growth promoting strains, you should use soil around (and) the roots. To use microorganisms for environmental purposes (bioremediation for example) test also other points close to the contaminated soil.

Vit Mateju

Everything depends upon homogeneity of the soil matrix and microbial distribution in a saline environment. Dr. Vassilev is right, but the best way would be to perform sampling from large area and preparation of composite samples of soil for microbe isolation.

Best regards

Vit

Thank you all for your responses. I deeply appreciate them.
