Isolation and Identification of Bacteria from Fruit Garden Soils in Aydın Province

Abstract

In this study, different fruit garden soil samples were collected in Aydın province and bacterial diversity was examined. These isolated bacteria were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and using BLAST. The Maximum Parsimony method was used to produce a Molecular Phylogenetic analysis and a phylogenetic tree was constructed. As a result of this study the following bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis (5), Bacillus mycoides (1), Brevibacterium frigoritolerans (1), Bacillus circulans (1), Bacillus cereus (5), Bacillus weihenstephanensis (1), Pseudomonas putida (1), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (1), Azotobacter chroococcum (1), Paenibacillus xylanilyticus (1), Variovorax paradoxus (1), Aerococcus viridans (1) were found. These bacteria are significant because they regulate soil ecosystem. In addition bacteria isolated from soil are used in industrial applications such as agriculture, textile, plastic industry, chemical industry.
