This is the first study demonstrating antibiotic potential of symbiotic bacteria and their metabolite profiling from cultured bacterial endosymbionts associated with root nodules of Leguminaceae plant Dolichos lab lab. Our study has significant scope and it has never been reported. Indian farming area especially semi arid areas host varieties of Legumes with novel secondary metabolites producing organisms. The natural metabolites extracted from root nodule-derived bacteria pave novel therapeutic remedy against the pathogens like Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and fungal species Aspergillus niger when most of them are emerged as extreme drug resistant superbugs. In recent study the bacteria isolated from the root nodule were cultured by standard microbiology techniques. Most of the bacteria isolated were found to be Symbiotic nitrogen fixation of Gram-negative, motile, Rhizobium leguminosarum. The potential isolate LNRLS9 was mass cultured for extraction of primary and secondary metabolites. Preliminary screening for identification of Bacterial metabolites by chemical tests was performed using reagents. Ethyl acetate extract prepared from the lysed culture of the isolate was analyzed for antibiotic activity. The results of this study suggested that secondary metabolites produced by Rhizobium leguminosarum sp. (LNRLS9) could be used as a lead to control bacterial pathogens.
