In the current study, thirty bacterial strains isolated from the rhizosphere of Clerodendrum infortunatum L. were evaluated for the properties related to the plant growth promotion and disease resistance. Here, all the selected strains were screened for its antagonistic effect towards the phytopathogen Sclerotium rolfsii and also for the production of bioactive compounds known to promote the plant growth.

The common rhizobacterial mechanisms which have been demonstrated to promote plant growth include production of phytohormones, nitrogen fixation, synthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC deaminase) and phosphate solubilization. The microbially produced phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is considered to have significant role in interaction between plant and bacteria.
