ABSTRACT
The paddy rhizosphere soil sample was collected from ten different locations in Tirupattur district of Tamil Nadu. The Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis isolates were characterized by Gram staining, motility test, plating on selective medium and performing biochemical tests. The Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates were designated as PF -1 to PF – 10. The Bacillus subtilis population was designated as BS - 1 to BS - 10
