Characterization and Identification of Isolated Rhizobacteria from Different Wheat Field in Vadodara, Gujarat, India
Abstract: In the present research, wheat rhizosphere soil from Vadodara, Gujarat, was used to extract, characterize, and identify prospective plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with several PGP features (N2-fixation, P- and K-solubilization, IAA, and siderophore synthesis). Eleven pure colonies in all were isolated, and colonies were chosen for further evaluation. Seven superior PGPR strains were identified by partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene based on biochemical, potential PGP characteristics, and growth performance. These strains were identified as Acinetobacter pittii DSM 21653, Shigella sonnei, Escherichia fergusonii ATCC 35469, Acinetobacter pittii DSM 21653, Cellulosimicrobium funkei, and Shigella sonnei. Significant biochemical estimate of the PGP properties has been demonstrated by the chosen bacterial strains. Every strain has superior PGPR features of its own. These bacteria should be utilized more since they have the potential to be employed as biofertilizer.
