In the present investigation of the microbial population as well as the diversity of bacteria of the uniquemangrove forest ecosystem of Gulf of Khambhat (GoK) region Gujarat, India were analyzed. The maximum water andsoil bacterial colonies were presented in monsoon seasons were compare with pre-monsoon and post-monsoonseasons.Total ten different bacterial strains were isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil of four different mangroveforest location of the gulf of Khambhat during a period of 2014-2015. Bacterial isolation was done by the soil dilutionmethod incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The most dominant mangrove species of study sites are Avicennia marina.Determination of bacterial diversity in the mangrove rhizosphere soil by culture method showed the predominantbacterial genera namely Salinicoccus kekensis, Kocuria flava, Arthrobacter sp., Kocuria sp., Arthrobacter sp., Bacillusendophyticus, Agrococcus lahaulensis, Georgenia satyanarayanai, Planococcus rifietoensis and Virgibacillusdokdonensis sp. present in the Gulf of Khambhat mangrove ecosystem.
