Abstract
Floods have remarkable effects on both above- and below-ground ecosystem processes. Soil microorganisms are very sensitive to environmental disturbances, and drastic changes in soil microbial community are expected from water logging conditions. Kothamangalam is one of the seriously flood affected region of Ernakulam district. Different bacterial species were isolated from rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils of flood affected and non-affected areas of Kothamangalam Municipality. The isolated bacterial strains were subjected to check their cultural and morphological characteristics, antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenicity pattern. The present study revealed the significant difference among strains, in their morphology, antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenicity pattern.
