Antibacterial activity of soil bacteria isolated from Kochi, India and their molecular identification.

ABSTRACT: The present study, deal about the antibiosis activity of soil bacteria, isolated from 10 different locations of rhizosphere and diverse cultivation at Kochi, Kerala, India. The bacteria were isolated by standard serial dilution plate techniques. Morphological characterization of the isolate was done by Gram's staining and found that all of them gram positive. Isolated bacteria were tested against 6 human pathogens viz., Escherichia coli, Enterococcus sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter sp. Primary screening was carried out by perpendicular streaking and seed overlay method. Based on the result of primary screening most potential isolates of S1A1 and S7A3 were selected for secondary screening. Both the isolates showed positive results
