This study focuses on the isolation and characterization of actinomycetes from the rhizosphere of peach plants in Swat District, Khyber Pakhtun Khwa, Pakistan. The identification process includes assessment of cell morphology, Gram staining, and catalase testing. Notable genera isolated include Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Citrobacter, Corynebacterium, Erwinia, Enterobacter, Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococci and E. coli. Through detailed analysis, Arthrobacter and Bacillus show rod and coccus shapes, while Citrobacter and Enterobacter appear as rods. Corynebacterium has a rod-shaped morphology, and Micrococcus Present as a cocci. Additionally, Erwinia and Pseudomonas are rod-shaped, while Staphylococci have cocci morphology. E. coli is rod-shaped. Catalase tests reveal a variety of enzyme activities: positive results for Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Micrococcus and Staphylococci and negative results for Citrobacter, Erwinia, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas and E. coli. This study expands our understanding of the diverse actinomycete community in the peach rhizosphere, offering insight into potential applications in agricultural and soil management practices.
