Identification and Molecular Characterization of Bioactive Molecule from Rhizosphere Soil Organism

Author(s): S Vijayanand* and Prasheetha Prasad

Abstract: The soil environment is very complex and provides diverse microbial habitats which include a number of different kinds of Bacteria, Fungi, Actinomycetes, Algae, Protozoa etc. It varies greatly depending on any change in climate, organisms or land form. Some of the different types of soils are Black soils, Red soils, Laterite soils, Forest and Mountain soils, Arid and Desert soils, Saline and Alkaline soils and so on. Rhizosphere is the zone of soil which surrounds plant roots and most of the rhizosphere soil is believed to have more Bacteria, which is followed by Fungi. Most of the Rhizosphere organism are seen living in a mutual beneficial relation with the plants. Commensalist relationship is also seen with the other relations here. Root cells of plants are under continual attack from microorganisms and it survive by secreting defence proteins and other chemicals which are known as antimicrobial chemicals.
