Description 318-322
Present study served to identify an indigenous
diazotrophic bacterial community as a biofertilizer for the improvement of
nursery techniques in mangrove restoration.  Plant species Avicennia marina was
selected for investigation in three geographically different regions of the
Pichavaram mangrove forest, India. A total of 23 diazotrophic bacteria were isolated
from the rhizosphere of the plant.  Nitrogen
fixing ability of the bacteria was quantitatively assessed using the Acetylene
Reduction Assay.  Highest nitrogenase
activity was recorded from members of Azotobacter
and Azospirillum.  Nitrogenase activity of the three rhizosphere
soils was evaluated and positively correlated with the diazotrophic species
diversity.
