The production of secondary metabolites from Pseudomonas species has been the most economical and biotechnological source for the discovery of new bioactive compounds. The aim of the present study was to isolate potent bioactive secondary metabolites producing Pseudomonas spp. strain from the agricultural soil of Marathwada region. There were 16 isolates obtained from different areas in Marathwada region and studied for the production of secondary metaboilts and its antibacterial properties. These antimicrobial compounds were extracted and tested against some pathogenic microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The results showed that among the isolated Pseudomonas spp. three of the isolates namely S3, S6, and S15 were found to be of potential antagonists against pathogenic organisms and thus providing the production of secondary metabolites which has the potent bioactive compounds to control the soil borne pathogens. | Isolation, characterization of bioactive secondary metabolites producing Pseudomonas species from soil of Marathwada region, India
