Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the bacteria from rhizosphere soil of Vernonia amygdalina and their antibacterial activity. Six (6) rhizospheric soil samples of Vernonia amygdalina were collected from three different locations in Ago-Iwoye and analysed for the presence of bacteria using standard microbiological method. The total bacteria count of the sample ranged from 0.5 x 102cfu/g to 4.8 x 102cfu/g. A total of twenty-two (22) bacteria isolates belonging to three genus; Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Streptomyces spp. were isolated and identified from the soil samples. Bacillus spp. was the highest isolated bacteria with 50%, followed by Streptomyces with 27.3% and Pseudomonas spp. with 22.7%. It was found that Bacillus spp. and Streptomyces spp. produce clear zone of inhibition against the test microorganisms. The study revealed that bacterial species isolated from rhizosphere soil of Vernonia amygdalina have potential of antibiotics production. Further characterization, purification, and structural elucidation are recommended to know the novelty, quality and commercial value of these antibiotics.
Keywords: Vernonia amygdalina, Rhizosphere Soil, Antibacterial Activity.
