Microbes are the key components of soil nutrient cycling. Status of soil health and richness
of soil nutrient pool depend on structure and functions of soil microbial community. Microbes …

The use of microorganisms to solubilize elemental phosphorus from insoluble rock
phosphate is a promising method to greatly reduce not only environmental pollution but also …

Low availability of phosphorus (P) is a major constraint for optimal crop production, as P is
mostly present in its insoluble form in soil. Therefore, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) …

Application of metal-resistant rhizobacteria is a promising approach for detoxification and
bioremediation of contaminated soils. In order to isolate, identify, and characterize lead and …

Phosphorus [P] is a major element and performs vital functions for sustenance, growth and
development of plants. It is involved in several key plant functions, including energy transfer …

The soil consists of a plethora of both biotic and abiotic matter and provides the medium for
plant growth, habitat for microorganism, which plays an important role in maintaining and …

Soil microorganisms play a major role in improving soil fertility and plant health. Symbiotic
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a key component of the soil microbial populations …

The microbial interactions with plant hosts were known to establish plant growth and
beneficial productivity. Some bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, yeast, and algae have proven …

Most of P in agricultural soils is in unavailable forms for plant growth. Phosphate solubilizing
bacteria can increase soil P availability. This study was aimed to isolate phosphate …

Eighty one potential phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) were isolated from the
rhizosphere soils of crop plants in Athirampuzha, Kottayam, Kerala and were screened for …
