Phosphorous is considered as a major parameter for crop yield. Its availability to plant is independent of its abundance. For the plants to utilize phosphorous, it is to be converted to absorbable form. Here, the part rendered by phosphate solubilizing bacteria is significant for it plays a crucial role in the formation of plant usable phosphate from organic forms. In the present work, an effort had been made to isolate and identify phosphate solubilising bacterial isolate from the rhizhospheric soils of various plants in Ponthenpuzha forest. One of the isolate from Cymbopogon citrates responded positively to Pikovskaya’s medium by producing a halo zone during in vitro culture. Colony features and 16S rRNA sequence analysis identified the isolate as Burkholderia sps. We have reported the presence of genus Burkholderia in the rhizospheric zone of Cymbopogon citratus. Further studies are warranted for species level identification of the isolate.

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients needed for the plant growth, other than nitrogen and potassium. Most phosphorus remains as insoluble form in soils and the plants only can uptake the phosphorus nutrient in soluble forms. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) dissolves the phosphorus and make it available for plants. In this study, Soil samples were collected and screened for PSB on PK medium. PSB colonies with the highest phosphate solubilization ability were chosen and used for studying its rhizosphere effect on Capsicum frutescens by pot experiment.. It was evidenced that selected PSB strain could solubilize phosphate in PK medium and modified PK broth. Besides, it provided available phosphorus for plants and enhanced the plant growth in pot experiment.

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria were extensively studied in many environment. However, little is known about them in drill cuttings, as wastes from drilling process. A phosphate-solubilizing bacterium strain PSB13 was isolated from petroleum-contaminated drill cuttings. This strain was identified asPseudochrobactrumsp. based on its 16S rDNA sequence and phenotypic characteristics. This strain could solubilize 97.6 μg/ml phosphates in 6 days when grown in NBRIP liquid medium. The increase in solubilization of phosphate coincided with the drop in pH, which indicates organic acid was responsible for the phosphate-solubilization. Phosphate-solubilizing bacterium was reported in drill cuttings for the first time, which suggests its potential in the bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated drill cuttings.

Abstract The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the Phosphate solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere of Zea mays L., Jeneponto Regency. This research was conducted in several stages; i.e, sampling, medium preparation, sample dilution, isolation, characterization in the form of gram staining, biochemical tests, and quantitative tests of phosphate solubility. Soil samples were diluted in 0.9% NaCl and soil containing microbes was isolated on the Picovskaya medium. Three isolates were obtained which could dissolve phosphate, namely J2KN1, J3KR2, and J3TG3 isolates. The isolates were generally round in shape with raised elevations, white, slimy, smooth, shiny surface, milky white, shape like coccus and bacillus, and gram-negative. Some of the isolates had positive motility, indole, voges, methyl red, glucose, and sucrose fermentation in the biochemical test. The quantitative tests of the ability to dissolve phosphate showed that J2KN1 isolate had the highest concentration of 51.1 μM, and the J3KR1 and J3TG3 isolates had a concentration of 45.2 μM and 37.6 μM, respectively.
