Industrial microbiology deals with soil terms with life, from the distinct viruses to larger bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa, up to macroscopic worms and insects. Many microorganisms that live in the soil play indispensable role in maintaining life of this planet degrading or chemically modifying molecules. Considerable human interest in soil organisms stems from their ability to synthesize a variety of useful chemicals. Environmental conditions affect the density and composition of the flora of the soil. Academic observation can yield practical possibilities and industrial fermentation industries often keep close watch on theoretical studies being carried out in laboratories. Industrial microbiology concern itself with the isolation and description of microorganism from natural environments, such as soil or water. The population density of microorganisms based on their survival and their enzyme producing activity can be primarily screened along with its propagation activity. Considering this soil sample from different stations were collected to observe the amylase producing activity of bacterial population and thereby further identifying different types of such bacteria in effluent contaminated soil and water.
