Twenty-two endophytic bacterial isolates from the roots of sugarcane were compared morphologically, biochemically and genetically. Gram staining, colony pigment, texture and other cultural characteristics were taken for morphological characterization. Oxidation-fermentation tests for D-glucose and D-sucrose, production of acid and hydrogen from different carbon source, oxidase activity, antibiotic and drug resistance patterns were chosen as the biochemical and physiological criteria. Twelve random decamer primers were used to analyze and compare these isolates through RAPD among themselves as well as with known standard diazotrophic strains. The isolates were compared through dendrograms constructed on the basis of similarity patterns obtained from biochemical and RAPD analysis. The estimated diversity through RAPD analysis was more evident than the diversity on the basis of morphological and biochemical characters. Within Acetobacter group, the isolates showed substantial genetic diversity for future exploitation as PGPRs and diazotrophic associative endophytes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
