Isolation and Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria form Raphanus sativus (Radish)

Abstract

Rhizobacteria are present in rhizosphere region of plant root system, which enhance the plant growth by various way like biological nitrogen fixation, siderophore production, phosphate solubilization and phytohormone production. The soil samples were collected from rhizosphere region of Raphanus sativus, after enrichment rhizobacteria was isolated by serial dilution method, diluted sample were spread on respective solid agar media plates. Isolated rhizobacteria was identify by biochemical and molecular characterization methods. The isolated PGPRs was Bacillus subtilis which was showed phosphate solubilization activity and they were enhanced 30% more green gram seed germination. The method of current research is screening, isolation and biochemical characterization of rhizobacteria form rhizosphere region of Raphanus sativus. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria, solubilized the unavailable phosphate and provide to plant. The main purpose of this research paper is to widen the understanding of the role of phosphate solubilizing bacteria in crop production as biofertilizers.
