A large amount of agricultural organic matter (AOM) comes into soil every day, through organic remains, and it is decomposed by bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes (Ugarkovic et al, 2011). The aim of this research was to select isolates of bacteria with the most organic matter degrading potential, by isolating the bacteria from five different types of soil. Isolation of bacteria was conducted from five types of soil - luvisol, cambisol, chernozem, forest land and meadow. Characterization of bacterial isolates was conducted based on morphological, physiological and biochemical features. Isolates with the most organic matter degrading potential could be used in the near future for conceptualizing microbiological preparation.
