Isolation of Bacterial Strains from Canola Rhizosphere

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The soil sample was obtained from the rhizosphere of the canola plant growing in the arid region of Bahawalpur (29.3544° N, 71.6911° E), Pakistan. The soil samples were used to make serial dilutions (15 dilutions) by adding 1 g of soil to 9 mL of water. Dilution was prepared by mixing 1 mL suspension with 9 mL distilled water and total of 10 serial dilutions were prepared. Isolation was done by using nutrient agar media (Sigma Aldrich, USA). The Petri plates were incubated at 28 °C ± 2 in an incubator for 48 to 72 h and observed for the appearance of colonies. Bacterial strains were isolated by repeated streaking [31 ].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
