Phytate-mineralizing rhizobacteria (PMR) perform an essential function for the
mineralization of organic phosphorus but little is known about their ecology in soils and …

Phytate is one of the most abundant sources of organic phosphorus (P) in soils, but must be
mineralized by phytase-producing bacteria to release P for plant uptake. Microbial …

The ecology of microbial communities associated with organic phosphorus (P)
mineralization in soils is still understudied. Here, we assessed the abundance and diversity …

Phytate-mineralizing rhizobacteria (PMR) play an important role in providing phosphorus for
the sustainable plant growth. It is important to investigate the ability of PMR to produce …

Soil organic phosphorus (Po) such as phytate, which comprises up to 80% of total Po, must
be hydrolyzed by specific enzymes called phytases to be used by plants. In contrast to …

Background and aims Plant growth is frequently limited by the availability of inorganic
phosphorus (P) in the soil. In most soils, a considerable amount of the soil P is bound to …

In the present study, we isolated from agricultural soils, a Bacillus strain designated SD01N-
014, expressing high-level extracellular phytase activity and investigated its potential to be …

Phytate (a form of Inositol phosphate), which is one of the most abundant sources of organic
phosphorus (Po) in soils, needs to be mineralized by microbial phosphatases to become …

Phytic acid (PA) is a major source of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the soil; however, the plant
lacks the capacity to utilize it for Pi nutrition and growth. Microbial phytases constitute a …

Phosphorus (P) is the second most important macro-element for plant growth, and its low
availability in soil is a major obstacle to crop production. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is the least …
