Abstract: 
The present study was conducted to characterize the native plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) from the nodules of Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc. The seeds of Macrotyloma uniflorum was grown in two different soils i.e., sterile and non-sterile soil and four bacterial isolates were isolated. The bacterial isolates were characterised on the basis of morphological and different biochemical analysis. Phylogenetic identification was done on the basis of 16S rRNA analysis. Four isolates obtained belongs to Bacillus velezensis and Enterobacter cloacae.
