Abstract

Morphological studies of the members of Acacia nilotica complex indicate that the vast amount of variability encountered in this group is because of hybridization between A. nilotica ssp. indica and A. nilotica ssp. hemis- pherica. This hybrid population may backcross either with the first or the second parent producing ssp. adansonii and ssp. subalata type plants respec- tively. Human influence in creating disturbed habitat seems to be the most important factor in the promotion of hybridization. ‘Dadhi’ or ‘dahi’ is a form of fermented milk product. Its quality greatly depends on the microbial flora present in it. We undertook the present work to find out the micro-organisms present in the good ‘dadhi’ and those responsible for the formation of defective ‘dadhi’ under our local conditions.
