Present study intended to isolate potential strains for the production of succinic acid. More than 90 isolates were obtained from various sources using anaerobic techniques. All the strains were screened for succinic acid production through bromocresol green media, thin layer chromatography and HPLC methods. 74 isolates showed colour change in bromocresol green media indicating the production of organic acids, of which 14 isolates showed succinic acid production determined by thin layer chromatography which were quantified through HPLC. The isolates which yielded  succinic acid ranged from 0.24g/l (MGC) to 4.69g/l (RFC-P3). https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol15no2/screening-for-isolation-of-succinic-acid-producing-microbes/ Anaerobes; Fluid Thioglycollate; Succinic Acid; HPLC
