To avoid environmental stresses, microbial competition and to get nutrients, certain microbes enter the host plant, and exit as endophyte. Such endophytic microbes are present in all the plant tissues and mainly in roots and legume nodules of various plant species. Endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria are known to play important role in plant yield and growth promotion, plant health, and protection (Hallmann and Berg, 2006; Ryan et al., 2008; Dudeja and Giri, 2014; Saini et al., 2015; Dudeja, 2015). Rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria can accelerate seedling emergence, promote plant establishment under adverse conditions and enhance plant growth. These microbes helps the legume and non legume plants to acquire nutrients by nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization (Wakelin et al., 2004) or iron chelation (Costa and Loper, 1994), by preventing pathogen infections via antifungal or antibacterial agents, by out
