Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Bacteria from Rare Medicinal Plant Genera of Bilsapur City of Chhattisgarh
Abstract: Endophyte reside in the living plant tissue are mostly unstudied and potential sources of new natural products for therapeutic preparations. Some endophytes produce the secondary metabolites as that of plant which make them promising sources of novel compounds. This study was conducted with the aim to isolate and identify endophytic bacteria from rare and endangered medicinal plants collected from Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh. Isolation of endophytic bacteria was done on nutrient agar medium and characterized on the basis of morphological and biochemical characteristics. A total 18 bacterial endophytes were obtained from these different plants, and characterized with the help of morphological and biochemical tests and identified by BMDM.
Keywords: Endophytes, nutrient agar medium, rare endangered medicinal plants, secondary metabolites
