Online published on 23 December, 2016. Abstract Endophytic microorganisms live as symbiotic relationship within a plant tissue (root, fruit, stem, seed, leaf, etc.) without causing any symptoms of diseases to the host. They act as a growth promoter to the plants. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify endophytes from Terminalia species. Endophytes were isolated successfully from fruit and leaf sample of Terminalia catappa and Terminalia chebula. Further, Biochemical and molecular characterization was performed for identified these endophytes. All the spp., further were taken for molecular characterization as Staphylococcus hominis, Paenibacillus motobuensis and Cronobacter sakazakii.
