native phosphate solubilizing bacteria (psb) were isolated from four areas (ankober, keyt, mehalmeda and molale) of ethiopia to study their effect on releases of soluble phosphorus from insoluble p sources. the highest bacterial number was found at keyt (2.6103 g-1soil) and the least at molale (15 g-1soil). five efficient psb were selected for further study based on their ability in forming a ...

abstract a large number of studies have shown that direct application of rock phosphate dose do not have enough efficiency to release phosphorus compared to chemical fertilizers. the main purpose of this study was to increase the efficiency of direct application of rock phosphate. incorporation of rock phosphate with sulfur, organic matter and inoculation with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and phos...

A feasibility study with three pre-conditioning times was carried out to examine the effect of anaerobic pre-treatment on phosphorus removal by aeration. The results showed that soluble phosphorus could be decreased from 120 mg L−1 to about 40 mg L−1 within one-day aeration. However, soluble phosphorus concentration was found not affected by pre-conditioning, but more pH dependent. Anaerobic pr...

[1] Biogeochemical studies show that the surface waters of the subtropical North Atlantic are highly phosphorus (P) stressed. Human activity may exacerbate phosphorus stress by enhancing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and raising N/P ratios in deposition. However, the magnitude of this effect is unclear, in part, because atmospherically deposited phosphorus sources are not well known, part...

Soils generally contain adequate amount of inorganic and organic phosphorous but most of these remain unavailable to plants. The efficiency of water soluble phosphorus alone is usually low and soluble phosphorus when added to soil along with phosphate solubilizing microorganisms indicates utilization. The presence of soil microorganisms capable of transforming insoluble phosphorus to soluble fo...

In acid soils, soluble inorganic phosphorus is fixed by aluminium and iron. To overcome this problem, acid soils are limed to fix aluminium and iron but this practice is not economical. The practice is also not environmentally friendly. This study was conducted to improve phosphorus availability using organic amendments (biochar and compost produced from chicken litter and pineapple leaves, res...

Biological productivity in many ocean regions is controlled by the availability of the nutrient phosphorus. In the Mediterranean Sea, aerosol deposition is a key source of phosphorus and understanding its composition is critical for determining its potential bioavailability. Aerosol phosphorus was investigated in European and North African air masses using phosphorus near-edge X-ray fluorescenc...

in order to investigate the effect of phosphorus fertilizer and spraying fe chellat in micronutrients absorption rate, rate of proline and soluble carbohydrates in bread wheat and some of its ancestral species in dryland condition, a factorial experiment was conducted with three factors consist of: p fertilizer (in two levels), spraying fe chellat (in two levels) and different species of wheat ...

Langenfeld, M. G. (University of South Dakota, Vermillion) and P. F. Smith. Phosphorus distribution in pleuropneumonia-like and L-type organisms. J. Bacteriol. 86:1216-1219. 1963.-Sterol-requiring and sterol-nonrequiring pleuropneumonia-like organisms, salt-requiring and salt-nonrequiring L forms, and their parent bacteria, were analyzed for total, acid-soluble, lipid, and nucleic acid phosphor...

The different combinations of phosphorus to be found in a given tissue may be divided into three main groups: I. Protein phosphorus or phosphorus in combination with protein, including nucleoprotein and phospho-proteins or nucleoalbumins, insoluble in water especially after treatment with alcohol; 2. Lecithin and kephalin phosphorus or phosphorus in combination with fat and a nitrogen complex, ...
