Endophytic microorganisms of Aloe vera

Abstract

Aloe vera is one of the most commonly used plants in medical and pharmaceutical practice due to the large number of biologically active compounds it contains. At the same time, the internal gel of plants contains endophytic microorganisms that can increase the area of plants action. In the process of carrying out research work, the isolation and identification of microorganisms associated with the internal gel of Aloe vera was carried out. A method for aseptic shedding of microbial isolates from plant gel has been developed. Using the developed method, four microbial isolates were obtained. Morphological, cultural and physiological-biochemical analysis of the isolated microorganisms was carried out. Based on their characteristics, all isolated microorganisms can be attributed to the Actinobacteria class. Previously isolated bacteria can be identified as Arthrobacter spp. or Micrococcus spp. Additional research is required for more accurate identification. As a result of the research, the antimicrobial activity of two isolates against bacteria of the genus Bacillus was discovered.
