Cultural, morphological, biochemical and genomic identification of enterococcus canis n 12 isolated from fresh water fish cyprinus carpio

Present research work was conducted to isolate lactic acid bacteria from the intestine of freshwater fish Cyprinus carpio. Total 35 isolates of this bacteria were isolated. Among these isolate N12 was studied for morphological, cultural, biochemical characters. It was tested for its ability to ferment 18 different sugars and their derivatives. Genotypic identification of the bacteria was carried out using 16S rRNA sequencing and identified as Enterococcus canis N12.
