Abstract :

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are known to rapidly colonize the rhizosphere and suppress soil borne pathogens at the root surface. These organisms can also be beneficial to the plant by stimulating growth. Pseudomonas spp. have been studied mainly because of their widespread distribution in soil, their ability to colonize the rhizosphere of host plants and ability to produce a wide range of compounds inhibitory to number of serious plant pathogens.For performing this study, soil sample was collected from six different locations of Junagadh district.Total thirty six bacteria were isolated from the collected soil samples by using general microbiological media, among them ten prominent phosphate solubilizer were selected for studying other plant growth promoting potentials and biochemical characterization. Most efficient Plant growth promoting rhizobia was identified at their strain level by using 16 S rRNA sequencing technology.
