ABSTRACT
Total 149 strains of endophytic bacteria were isolated from different healthy organisms of Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat. from Xinjiang. The fermented liquids of these strains were screened by TLC and analysed by HPLC, and the glycyrrhizinic acid monoammonium salt was taken as standard control at the same time. Only one endophtytic bacterial stain of Bacillus subtilis could produce Glycyrrhizinic acid monoammonium salt analogue.
ABSTRACT
The present investigation was undertaken in order to select the surface-sterilization technique most efficient for eliminating epiphytes, to document endophytes of healthy tissues from Glaycyrrhiza inflat Bat. in Xinjiang. Surface sterilization with 5% commercial solution of sodium hypochlorite for 5 minutes was reaffirmed as adequate for removing epiphytes on licorice roots. From the 151 segments incubated, 149 bacterial isolates and 2 fungal isolates were obtained. From all the isolates, Bacterial isolates were identified by VITEK-AMS. Part of Bacteria were identified in 13 different genus. Fungal species were characterized as Penicillium sp. and Fusarium sp.with microscope.
