Isolation, Characterization and Phytochemical Analysis of Endophytic bacteria Isolated from Plectranthus amboinicus

Abstract

Symbiotic association of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes inside the tissues of plant were known as endophytes. Medicinal plants have diverse and capable symbiotic microbial flora. In this present study endophytic bacteria were isolated from Plectrantus amboinicus a medicinal plant by surface sterilization method. Sterile plant sections were placed on sterile nutrient agar plates and incubated for 24-48 hours in incubator. Plates were observed for the growth revealed the presence of bacterial isolates surrounding the plant sections. Five bacterial isolates were Isolated, endophytic bacteria isolated were subjected to characterization by morphological, microscopically and serologically to study the isolates. These endophytic bacteria were subjected to extract secondary metabolites, extracted secondary metabolites were processed to check the presence of preliminary phytochemicals.
