Newley Isolated Bacilli from the Saline Soil of the Halophytic Plant Halopeplis Perfoliata Community.

Abstract Exploring bacterial existence in environments such as soils represents a major opportunity to understand their roles in such environments, which helps in utilizing these magnificent organisms in the different applications of human use. In the present study, samples were collected from the soils of Halopeplis perfoliata community at the coastal line of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The bacterial stains were isolated from the soil samples on nutrient agar with the addition of NaCl. Genomic DNA was processed to identify these bacteria by 16s rRNA approach. As a result of this study, four types of bacteria have been identified; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, B. halotolerans, B. subtilis, and Ammoniphilus sp. These bacteria are significant beneficial for biotechnological applications.
