Abstract: 
In this present study bacteria were isolated from the root nodules and rhizosphere of Vicia faba L. A total of 23 isolates were obtained which were studied morphologically. All isolates were identified on the basis of biochemical tests performed. The isolates obtained in this study can be used to decrease the need of chemical fertilizers and helpful in the production of biofertilizers.
