Bamboo plant is a potential source of growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). Phosphate solubilizing ability an important characteristic PGPB. This study aims to isolate phosphate around the bamboo clumps using natural media. The are trapped media consist 70 gram cooked rice and banana peel. were stored in plastic boxes with four types treatments: 1) tightly closed, 2) covered tissue, 3) leaves, 4) u...

Abstract The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the Phosphate solubilizing bacteria from rhizosphere Zea mays L., Jeneponto Regency. This research conducted in several stages; i.e, sampling, medium preparation, sample dilution, isolation, characterization form gram staining, biochemical tests, quantitative tests phosphate solubility. Soil samples were diluted 0.9% NaCl soil conta...

The interactive effect of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on plant use of soil P sources of low bioavailability (endogenous or added as rock phosphate [RP] material) was evaluated by using soil microcosms which integrated (sup32)P isotopic dilution techniques. The microbial inocula consisted of the AM fungus Glomus intraradices and two phosphate-solubilizin...

Heavy metal pollution of soils is of great concern. The presence of the toxic metal species above critical concentration not only harmfully affects human health but also the environment. Among existing strategies to remediate metal contaminates in soils, phytoremediation approach using metal accumulating plants is much convincing in terms of metal removal efficiency, but it has many limitations...

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSBs) were isolated from different plant rhizosphere soils of various agroecological regions of India. These isolates showed synthesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), production of gluconic acid, and release of phosphorus from insoluble tricalcium phosphate. The bacterial isolates synthesizing PQQ also showed higher tolerance to ultraviolet C radiation and mi...

Background and Objectives Alkaline pH of the soil facilitates the conversion of phosphate present in phosphate fertilizer applied in the field to insoluble phosphate which is not available to plants. Problem of soluble phosphate deficiency arises, primarily due to needless use of phosphate fertilizer. We sought to biofertilizer with the thermo-tolerant phosphate solubilizing actinomycetes conso...
