In addition to this study, 25 isolates secreted pectinase and 13 isolates secreated cellulase. It can be
summarized that hydrolytic enzymes, pectinase and cellulose may play an importance role in the
mechanisms by which endophytic bacteria penetrate into and persist in the host plant. Also, these enzyme
might be involved in the invasion of host plants by endophytes, as reported for Azoarcus sp.
