ABSTRACT
There is potential for isolation of novel bacterial endophytes and purification of secondary metabolites for pharmacological
as well as agroactive applications. We have isolated endophytic bacteria from Pakhangba leiton (Euphorbia hirta), an
ethnomedicinal plant of Manipur. Among these bacterial isolates, 5 (PL19, PL7, PS31, PS22, and PS11) strains exhibited potent
antibacterial activities. PL19 and PS11 showed antibacterial activities in both primary and secondary screening.
