Abstract
Many rhizospheric bacteria have plant growth promoting activities like Siderophore production, production, phosphate solubilization, HCN production, biofertilization, antifungal activity and ACC deaminase production. Some of the isolates have bioremediation/biodegradation abilities. These isolates were characterized by molecular methods (16s rDNA). Some of the names of identified isolates are Acinetobacter radioresistens SMA4, Bacillus sp. Castellaniella denitrificans SA13P, Enterococcus faecium, Lysobacter sp.; Providencia sp.; Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida SKR5. The bacterial isolates and various properties exhibited by them will be discussed in detail during the presentation.
