Cow dung, composed of undigested food residues and urine, serves as a rich source of minerals and microbial diversity. This study explores the potential of cow dung microbes for sustainable agriculture and biotechnological applications. Various bacterial genera have been isolated from cow dung, with promising implications for enzyme and antimicrobial production. Our research focuses on isolating and characterizing bacteria from cow dung, screening for enzymatic activity, antibiotic susceptibility, and plant growth promotion. A microbial consortium exhibiting enzymatic activity was selected for organic waste degradation, demonstrating the practical utility of cow dung microbes. Additionally, we characterized the crude mannanase enzyme produced by isolated bacteria, highlighting its thermo stability and optimal pH range. Overall, this study sheds light on the untapped potential of cow dung as a bioresource for sustainable development and biotechnological innovation.
