Soil is the richest ecosystem there is, as far as the diversity and populations of microorganisms is concerned. It is known that there could be over ten billion microbes per gram of soil, making soil the ideal ecosystem for mining different genes, ORFs etc. Microbial Diversity forms the lifeline of an ecosystem, interfering, regulating and participating in the biogeochemical activities therein. The present study was conducted to explore and assess the microbial community by culture dependent and independent approach, of sugarcane fields of Gujjarwal Village of Ludhiana. To study microbial diversity in sugarcane fields, a total of nine different colonies were isolated and differentiated based on their cell morphology and size. Biochemical characterizations lead to the identification of
