Author-note | In this project we analyzed contribution of the gut-associated bacteria of Bombay duck in its digestive process. The gut bacteria were screened for their ability to produce various hydrolytic enzymes. Most of the isolates produced considerable amount of protease, lipase, or pectinase enzymes indicating their important role in the digestive metabolism of their host. The enzyme profile strongly correlated to the feeding habit of the fish. 16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic diversity of the isolates was also analyzed.
