Sixteen soil samples were collected from wheat, barley and yellow corn rhizosphere in Abu-Ghraib, Aqraqof, Latifieh,Tarmiah, Jadriya and  of Agriculture in Baghdad university/ Baghdad city. The results found nine phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) isolates (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6, Y7, Y8, Y9), formed clear zones on National Botanical Research Institute's (NBRIP) agar. The solubility index (SI) of PSB isolates ranged from 2.00 to 3.66. Y4 have the highest SI (3.66) followed by Y3 and Y6 (3.33). Phosphate solubilization abilities varying from (20.10-39.00 μg.ml-1), Y4 was the highest (39.00 μg.ml-1) followed by Y3 (37.00μg.ml-1). The results of hydrolytic enzymes production showed that almost all nine isolates are able to produce protease and pectinase, while Y1 and Y2 showed negative results in cellulase production. Maximum ability for hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and indole acetic acid (IAA) production were showed byY3 and Y4 isolates. The isolate Y4 was found to be the most efficient isolate, so it was selected identified as Bacillus cereus using biochemical tests confirmed by VITEC 2 compact system. The results of High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that Bacillus cereus produce oxalic acid (2.996), citric acid (9.117) and malic acid (3.734). Bacillus cereus (Y4) enhanced the growth of mung bean plants. A significant increase in branches number (12.33), plant length (83.0cm), fresh weight (27.25 g) and dry weight (1.427g) were obtained compared with control treatments. The main objective of this study is to isolate PSB and evaluate their roles in plant growth promotion. The results showed the high phosphate solubilization efficiency of PSB isolates and the identified isolates was found to be good enough for plant growth promoting.

<p>Phosphate solubilizing bacteria can be used as soil or seed inoculum to increase soil phosphorus (P) availability for agricultural purposes. There is also a possibility of using these microorganisms to biotechnologically dissolve phosphate ores for the production of phosphorus fertilizers. Twenty-one soil samples were collected along a highway in Turkey to isolate phosphate solubilizing bacteria. A total of 20 phosphate solubilizers were isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat and maize grown in the pots, which contained the collected soil samples. The isolates were distributed among the genera, <em>Acinetobacter</em> (7), <em>Pseudomonas</em> (7), <em>Enterobacter</em> (2), <em>Enterococcus</em> (1), <em>Escherichia</em> (1), <em>Photorhabdus</em> (1), and <em>Bacillus</em> (1) as determined by the 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. Since the <em>Acinetobacter</em> species were most effective in Pikovskaya’s agar, which contained tricalcium phosphate for the sole P-source, they were further experimented for the phosphate solubilization in batch cultures. The mean phosphorus dissolved in 5 day incubation ranged between 167 and 1022 ppm P. The initial pH of 7.8  dropped below 4.7 in six isolates with a gluconic acid production in the concentrations ranging between 27.5 and 37.5 mM. <em>Acinetobacter</em> isolates have some potential as an inoculum both for soil and biotechnological P-solubilization.</p>

A study was designed to screen and analyze the efficient phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSBs) from wheat rhizosphere. Five biovars of Pseudomonas fluorescens (PSM1, PSM2, PSM3, PSM4 and PSM5) were isolated from wheat rhizosphere and Bacillus megaterium MTCC 8755 procured from microbial type culture collection (MTCC) Chandigarh, India. The P. fluorescens biovar PSM1 was observed to be most efficient phosphate solubilizer. Inoculation of P. fluorescens PSM1 and B. megaterium MTCC 8755, alone and in combination, caused the highest phosphate solubilization at pH 5. At this pH, maximum phosphate solubilization was observed with B. megaterium MTCC 8755 inoculation (8.2 mg mL-1) on sixth day of incubation with P. fluorescens PSM1 (8 mg mL-1) on seventh day of incubation and with dual bacterial treatment (10.5 mg mL-1) on the fourth day of incubation. A correlation coefficient of linear regression equation of phosphate solubilization with pH indicated that pH value of the medium was directly correlated with tricalcium phosphate solubilization. The study will help in choosing soil pH specific PSB inoculant for optimizing plant growth.

Oil is most widely distributed source of energy in the world and large-scaled environmental pollutant. Oil, oil products, and oil containing industrial waste pollution is ranked second place after radioactive pollution on account of their harmful action to ecosystems. Contamination of soil by organic chemicals (mostly hydrocarbons) is prevalent in oil producing and industrialized countries of the world. Biodegradation, a strategy that uses biological means (i.e microbes) to degrade, stabilize and remove soil contaminants is an alternative green technology remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil. This study was carried out to isolate and screen Bacteria capable of degrading used engine oil from oil contaminated site. Soil samples were collected from oil contaminated site. Bacterial species were isolated from the collected soil samples by serial dilution and agar methods. Different bacterial species were isolated but only four were oil degrading isolates. The identity of the various genera of bacterial contaminants were determined by a combination of cultural, morphological as well as preliminary biochemical characteristics of the isolates. The four oil degrading bacteria (AJ1, AJ2, AJ3 and AJ4) were preliminarily identified as Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtillis and Micrococcus spp respectively. The degradation ability of the bacterial isolates was screened and maximum degradation was recorded by AJ 5 (Mixed culture) with 66.9 %, followed by Bacillus cereus (50.3 %), Bacillus subtilis (44 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37.9 %) and the least was seen in Micrococcus spp (35.3 %). These findings revealed that some bacteria species are capable of utilizing the oil and used it as sole source of carbon and energy and the mixed consortia of the bacteria have rapid degradation ability. Biological degradation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil offers a better and more environmentally friendly technique that if properly explored can bring our environment into a better place for both plant and animal.

Interest in visible light irradiation as a microbial inactivation method has widely increased due to multiple possible applications. Resistance development is considered unlikely, because of the multi-target mechanism, based on the induction of reactive oxygen species by wavelength specific photosensitizers. However, the affected targets are still not completely identified. We investigated membrane integrity with the fluorescence staining kit LIVE/DEAD® BacLight™ on a Gram positive and a Gram negative bacterial species, irradiating Staphylococcus carnosus and Pseudomonas fluorescens with 405 nm and 450 nm. To exclude the generation of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacterial cells, we applied an ATP test, measuring the loss of vitality. Pronounced uptake of propidium iodide was only observed in Pseudomonas fluorescens at 405 nm. Transmission electron micrographs revealed no obvious differences between irradiated samples and controls, especially no indication of an increased bacterial cell lysis could be observed. Based on our results and previous literature, we suggest that visible light photoinactivation does not lead to rapid bacterial cell lysis or disruption. However, functional loss of membrane integrity due to depolarization or inactivation of membrane proteins may occur. Decomposition of the bacterial envelope following cell death might be responsible for observations of intracellular component leakage.
