The present study was conducted to isolate phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizospheric saline soils of coastal Odisha, India and evaluated their phosphate solubilizing ability. Total four PSB were isolated based on the halo zone formation (solubilizing index 2.63-3.14) on PVK agar medium and were characterized based on biochemical and molecular characteristics as Bacillus subtilis (B1), B. megaterium (B2), Sphingomonas paucimobilis (P2) and Kocuria kristinae (P6). The inorganic phosphate released by PSB ranged from 18.532 to 38.250µg/ml with decreasing the pH PVK broth up to 3.9. Acid phosphatase activity for PSB were recorded 84.237-98.658µmol/min. Glucose was found to be the best carbon source for B. subtilis, Sphingomonas paucimobilis and Kocuria kristinae whereas mannitol for B. megaterium. Optimum acid phosphatase activity was observed for all the four PSB isolates in presence of ammonium sulphate as nitrogen source in PVK broth at 30oC and pH 7.0.

Hemolytic anemias were produced in rats by administering phenylhydrazine or anti-erythrocytic (rooster) serum, the latter having agglutinin and hemolysin titers exceeding 1:1000.Following administration of phenylhydrazine, the erythrocytes undergo oxidative damage and are removed from the circulation by the cells of the reticulo-endothelial system, predominantly by the spleen. With increasing dosage or if animals are splenectomized, the Kupffer cells become an important site of sequestration and are greatly hypertrophied. Whole red cells are the most common type engulfed; they are broken down in digestive vacuoles, as shown by the presence of acid phosphatase activity (Fig. 1). Heinz body material and membranes persist longer than native hemoglobin. With larger doses of phenylhydrazine, erythrocytes undergo intravascular fragmentation, and the particles phagocytized are now mainly red cell fragments of varying sizes (Fig. 2).
