Abstract
The current study aims to isolate as well as characterize endophytic
bacteria residing in the stem of Capparis decidua plants collected from
the Alwar district of Rajasthan. Thereafter, biochemical and morphological
characterization of these endophytic bacteria has been performed to assess
plant growth-promoting traits of the bacterial isolates. The results revealed
that out of the 9 isolated endophytic bacteria, 100% were found to be
motile-rods, with 44.4% of them being gram positive. 100% of the isolated
bacterial strains showed catalase activity, indole production, gelatinase
activity, urease activity, protease activity, siderophore production and
nitrate reduction activity. Furthermore, 44.4% of the endophytic bacteria
exhibited amylase activity, lipase activity, VP activity, citrate utilization
and phosphate solubilization activity. None of the bacteria showed methyl red
test and only 55% of the bacteria produced hydrogen sulfide. All this plant
growth promoting attributes exhibited by endophytic bacteria aid in nutrient
availability, stress tolerance and development of Capparis decidua.
