CHARACTERIZATION OF PHYLLOSPHERE BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM LEAF OF PEPPER BETEL AND ITS INDUSTRIAL APPLICTION

Abstract

The great nutritional importance in food is amino acids. In general, serious problems of food and nutrition deficiencies of the world at present is confronted. Researchers to search for unconventionally sources of proteins and amino acids in increased demand of proteins .some devastating biotic invasions are facilitated by microbial symbionts are the growing evidence . Bacterial community structure within the betel was isolated and its metabolites were evaluated. In this study the aminoacid, organic acid and indole acetic acid producing capacity of several bacterial strains were tested and Streptomyces species was found to be novel isolates. Isolation and occurrence of Streptomyces species in betelis first time reported in this study and also found to be three different amino acid producer. The present study concludes that the isolated microbial strain can be used for the production of amino acids at very economical rates followed by optimizing natural sources
