In the present investigation, 24 rhizospheric soil samples of Ocimum sp. were collected from different vicinities of Delhi, Kurukshetra and Haridwar (India). A total of 266 bacterial strains were isolated and screened for in vitro plant growth promoting trait. About 86.46% bacterial isolates showed ammonium production, 89.09% exhibited phosphate solubilization and 87.59% for catalase production whereas only 7.14% showed positive reaction for HCN production. Five isolates viz., CHII(II)K7, CHIII(I)Y6, DDI(I)1, UHI(II)7 and CHII(I)NA4 were found to exhibit maximum number of plant growth promoting traits. .. View More»
