Physiological and Biochemical Profile of Bacterial Isolate from Rhizosphere of Brinjal (Solanum Melongena L.)

Rhizosphere, phylloplane and caulosphere is the region where a complex community of microbes, mainly bacteria and fungi are present. The microbe plant interaction in these regions can be beneficial, neutral, variable, or deleterious for plant growth. The bacteria that exert beneficial effects on plant development are termed plant growth promoting bacteria.In view of increasing environmental contamination with the deterioration of soil health and due to use of chemical fertilizers for increasing crop productivity, present study was conducted to identify the bacterial isolate from rhizosphere of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.).
