| Summary: | Current study was conducted to isolate and characterized the bacteria from fermented fruit juice of papaya
and pineapple using morphological and biochemical test. Isolated bacteria were cultured on selective medium
i.e Burk medium, Pikovskaya agar, Aleksandrow agar, , gelatin supplemented agar and tryptic soy broth
medium with L-tryptophan to evaluate their ability to fix nitrogen, solubilized phosphate, potassium and
gelatin, as well as produced indole-3-acetic acid respectively. A total of 6 bacterial strains were isolated from
papaya (3) and pineapple (3) respectively. All isolates were found to have the ability to fix nitrogen and
produced IAA, five out of six bacteria capable of solubilized phosphate, while only one out of six isolates
were able to solubilize potassium. Among isolates, bacteria from papaya named SB1 showed an outstanding
characteristic comparable to control. This study showed that the isolated bacteria had potential to be
exploited as an alternative biofertilizer and is worth for further investigation. |
