• Endophytes are particularly fascinating because of their multifaceted lifestyle, i.e., they may exist as either free-living soil microbes or saprobic ones or pathogens. Endophytic communities of halophytes may be different than those in other plants because salinity acts as an environmental filter. At the same time, they may contribute to the host’s adaptation to adverse environmental conditions, which may be of importance in agriculture.
