Present investigation was aimed to isolate and study the rhizobacteria and AM fungi from rhizosphere of wild legumes: Mimosa pudica(sensitive plant), Crotolariapallida (Sunhemp), Cassiatora(Sickle pod) andDesmodium.The molecular characterization of four bacterial isolates were done. Four bacterial speciesBacillus megaterium, Bacillusaerophilus, Microbacterium laevaniformans and Staphylococcus xylosuswere isolated from strains M1, RT,D5 and D7 respectively.Also,the distribution of AM fungi population was studied from rhizosphere soils of these legumes.Among the AM fungi,Glomusspecies was dominant and bacterial genus Bacilluswas found to be dominant.Maximum number of VAM infection was found in the rhizosphere soil of Mimosa pudicaof Srikona.
