BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISATION OF PHOSPHO BACTERIUM ISOLATED FROM RHIZOSPHERE OF COSTUS SP. WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BACILLUS SPECIES
AbstractSoils 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 form of phosphorus was studied Different phosphate dissolving bacterial strains are isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Costus plant and biochemical characterization and P2O5 uptake in liquid culture was studied.
