Molecular Characterization of Psychrotrophic Serratia marcescens TS1 Isolated from Apple Garden at Badran Kashmir

Summary A psychrotrophic bacterial strain was isolated from the apple garden around Badran Magam Kashmir using deoxyribonulease toluidine blue cephalothin agar. The psychrotrophic organism was characterized by all biochemical tests and showed similarity with Serratia marcescens. The genomic level confirmation done with 16s rDNA the sequence showed 98% sequence similarity with Serratia marcescens and thus strain named as Serrtia marcescens TS1 and was deposoited in gene bank.
