Isolation was carried out according to the
standard isolation procedure from all the
nine soil samples. All the isolates were
characterized morphologically on the basis
of its form, elevation, margin, pigment,
biochemical tests and Gram staining
characteristics. The Gram s staining data are
given in the Table 1. A total of 57 Gram
positive bacilli, 6 Gram negative bacilli, 47
Gram positive cocci and six actinomycetes
were isolated of the total samples used in the
current study. Similarly Subramaniam
Gopalakrishnan et al., 2010 isolated a total
of 360 bacteria from the rhizospheres of a
system of rice intensification (SRI) fields.
