Mahavidyalaya, Washim 444 505, India Endophytic microorganisms live within host plants without causing any noticeable symptoms of disease. Endophytes are usually symptomless, but may produce beneficial to pathogenic effects. Present investigation describes the isolation and identification of endophytic bacteria from soybean. During this investigation 21 endophytic isolates were obtained that included 12 bacterial, 05 fungal and 04 actinomycteal isolates. Among the bacterial genera Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Enterobaer, Baciillus and Klebsiella spp. were obtained. Fungal genera were Aspergillus, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and Alternaria spp. and actinomycetal were Streptomyces spp. Endophytic microorganisms received considerable attention due to their biotechnological utility in various agricultural, industrial and medical fields. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol5no2/isolation-and-identification-of-endophytic-microorganisms-of-soybean-glycine-max-l-merril/ Endophytes Soybean Endophytic population
