Abstract

Endophytes, which are microbes found inside plant tissues, and how they help plants grow and stay healthy. The colonisation of plants by endophytes involves various traits, and their diversity is dependent on several factors. Endophytic bacteria can have a broad host range and be utilised as bioinoculants to establish sustainable agriculture systems. Additionally, this report outlines a study on the Prosopis cineraria (Khejri) plants enzymatic activity, which sheds light on its metabolic diversity and potential applications in various industries. The study highlights the plant extracts antimicrobial properties against E. coli, indicating its potential as a natural alternative to synthetic antimicrobial agents. Overall, these findings contribute to our knowledge of plant biochemistry and the potential of plants to produce valuable enzymes. The study provides insights into the metabolic versatility of the Prosopis cineraria plant and the practical uses of its enzymatic activity. The research discoveries could have important consequences for the creation of natural substitutes for synthetic enzymes in different industries, including food science, agriculture, and medicine. The investigation enhances our understanding of plant biochemistry and the potential of plants to produce valuable enzymes.
