Assessment of Morphological and Biochemical Characterization of Endophytic Bacteria from Leaves of Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) | Chapter 11 |Innovations in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol.4

Endophytic bacteria were isolated from the leaves of Tamarindus indica and their morphological characterization was performed in this work. Endophytes are organisms that reside within the host plant without creating any visible disease symptoms. The goal of the research was to determine the various morphological properties of endophytic bacteria found in Tamarindus indica leaves. Various morphological features of isolated endophytic bacteria from Tamarindus indica leaves were used to make a preliminary identification of the endophytic bacterial isolates. The growth features of endophytic bacteria isolated from Tamarindus indica on King's B media revealed that colonies were either irregular or circular in shape, had a flat or elevated elevation on the petri plate, had an undulated or whole edge, and had an opaque and white surface. All of the endophytic bacteria isolated from Tamarindus indica leaves were non-haemolytic. Isolated endophytic bacteria from Tamarindus indica grew in BHI broth with turbidity and pellicle production, which could be sediment or rings. The microscopic examination of endophytic bacterial isolates revealed that all Tamarindus indica endophytic bacterial isolates were gramme positive rods. Endophytic bacteria isolates were also subjected to a battery of biochemical tests. Endophytic bacteria were identified based on the data, offering insight into the nature of the microbiome found in Tamarind leaves (Tamarindus indica).

Highlights
Endophytic bacteria isolated from Tamarindus indica leaves had circular colony features with wavy mucoid and a soft uneven border.

The colonies were complete, and the growth's surface was smooth, opaque, and white in colour.
