Halophilic bacteria in salt stressed soils of Aurangabad district (MS) India
Journal Title: Bioscience Discovery - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The crop plants are sensitive to salinity caused by high concentrations of salts in the soil. Halophilic bacteria play an important role during the development of salt tolerance mechanism in the plants. These microorganisms can adapt to extreme concentrations of salts. During the present investigation, soil samples were collected from Aurangabad district (Maharashtra). Most of the soil samples were of black basalt soil and the samples were collected from rhizosphere. Few samples were of red soils, they were neutral to acidic in nature. Mostly saline and rain fed soils were recorded through-out the district.From these samples halophillic bacteria were isolated and characterization of the bacteria was done by using morphological, biochemical and molecular analysis. On the basis of characterization confirmed strains were P. aruginosa, P. putida, B. pumilus, B. halodenitrificans, P. rifietoensis, E. coli, R. meliloti. The identified strains have salt tolerance and are highly useful against salt stressed soils and saline environments.
