Abstract

Soil samples from two soil series, Mirpur and Sara were taken for isolation and characterization of bacteria. It has been observed that Sara soil series had more bacterial population than Mirpur soil. Moreover, diversified types of colony were found in Sara soil than that of Mirpur soil. Most of the bacteria of both soils were spore forming. Bacteria with capsule were very rare and all of the bacteria were non acid fast. The ratio of Gram- positive to Gram- negative bacteria was 1:1 for both soils. There were no round shaped bacteria (coccus) in Sara soil and only one round shaped bacteria (coccus) has been found in Mirpur soil.
