1. A method of treating a cereal agricultural plant, comprising mechanically or manually contacting a seed of a cereal agricultural plant with an agricultural formulation comprising an agriculturally acceptable carrier and a purified bacterial population, wherein the purified bacterial population comprises a Bacillus bacterial endophyte that is heterologous to the seed, has a 16S nucleic acid sequence that is at least 97% identical to a 16S nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 542, 617, 629, 745, and 746, wherein the purified bacterial population is present in the formulation in an amount capable of increasing shoot biomass of an agricultural plant derived from the seed under low nutrient stress.
