The literature in the public domain shows that all the species of bacillus identified in the present study produce substances of agricultural and commercial importance. Such endophytes have never been reported in finger millet before. The virtues of finger millet which make it hardy crop may be attributed to these endophytes. The actual role of each endophyte needs...

The study could collate information about the colony characteristics and biochemical traits with the 16S rDNA sequences/ITS sequence and tentatively identify 9 different endophytes. From the comparision and information in the public domain, all the 9 endophyte have positive effects on the other crop species they inhabit. Studies on their exact role in finger mi...

Odontotermes formosanus termites are recognized as one of the major ecosystem engineers in tropical soils. This termite depends on intestinal microorganisms for cellulose digestion. Nine bacterial isolates from termite gut were identified using sugar fermentation and biochemical tests and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
