Pandey Alok R | Sathe Ganesh S

Abstract: A Soil sample was collected from rhizosphere and rhizosphereic zone of Vertak Garden, Vasai west and Mangroove soil from Vasai creek (Maharashtra) for microbial and enzymatic study. Twenty-five bacterial strain from Vertak Garden and Twenty-nine bacterial strain from Vasai creek were isolated and after further screening five bacterial strain were isolated from the soil sample and all they are gram positive and gram negative in nature. Five bacterial strains were selected as laccase producers from both the samples. The bacterial isolates were examined for Morphological, Physiological and Biochemical characteristics. The Bacterial isolates were having potential to produce the bacterial laccase enzyme were analyzed respectively.
