Bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth and their yield are referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this regard soil sample was collected from rhizospheric and non-rhizospheric region of a potted plant and preserved in polythene bag, later serial dilution was performed and incubated on LB media. For identification and characterization of bacterial species, combinations of DNA barcoding, biochemical tests- ammonia test, KOH test, organic acid test, catalase test, methyl red and voges-proskauer test, oxidase test and Sanger sequencing was performed. In this study, we have targeted universal gene 16srRNA for sequencing. The obtained species were identified as Achromobacter xylosoxidans 17SIN-B2, Brevibacillus brevis strain JZY2-32, Bacillus subtilis subsp. Subtilis strain WXZP9, Serratia sp. XT-1 and Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain MT3, which are PGPR bacteria help in growth of plant.
