The article presents the results of isolation and characteristics of endophytic bacteria from five varieties of seed potato plants obtained from different geographic zones. Of the 49 isolates, the most were found in plant roots, 61% of the bacteria are spore-forming. The main number of isolates (71%) are Gram-positive bacteria. The isolated endophytes belong to five genera, among which are dominated by representatives of the genus Bacillus. Differences in the quantitative and species composition of endophytes found in plants of different potato varieties have been established.
