ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the comparative microbiological composition of sandy, loam and clay soil. Different soil samples were collected for the study (sandy, loamy and clay). Standard aseptical laboratory methods were employed in carrying out the study. The result of the revealed that loamy soil had the highest heterotrophic bacterial count of 5.0×107 cfu/g while clay soil had the least (1.8×107 cfu/g). The highest heterotrophic fungal was observed in loamy soil with 1.2×106 cfu/g, while…
