Bacterial diversity from Mangroves ecosystems has been studied for their unique biochemical processes and their use in various applications. In the present study, mangroves soil sample from two different places of Retibandar area, Dombivli (west), were collected for the isolation of bacteria. Twenty-five bacterial isolates were isolated and were studied for their gram nature and colony characters. These bacterial isolates were screened for the production of extracellular enzymes like Protease, Amylase, β-galactosidase, Cellulase, Lipase etc. They were also checked for their ability to degrade dyes and for production of different PGPR traits like phosphate solubilization, Production of auxin (IAA), Ammonia production, HCN production, Siderophore production, Nitrogen fixation and Sulphate oxidation. They were also tested for their Antibacterial ability and Salt tolerance. They were also tested for their resistance/sensitivity against different antibiotics. The study has overall concluded that bacteria isolated from mangroves soil could serve as potential bioresources for many biotechnological applications.
