phosphorus is an essential element for plants. much of the agricultural lands of iran has calcareous soils, in which, due to high ph, phosphorous availability is less, therefore, it appears as a limiting factor for plant growth. application of biofertilizers instead of chemical ones has gained attention in order to produce healthy crops, reduce pollution of soil and water resources by reducing ...

Phosphorus is a major essential macronutrient for plant growth, and most of the phosphorus in soil remains in insoluble form. Highly efficient phosphate-solubilizing bacteria can be used to increase phosphorus in the plant rhizosphere. In this study, 13 isolates were obtained from waste mushroom residues, which were composed of cotton seed hulls, corn cob, biogas residues, and wood flour. NBRIP...

This paper reports a study of the effect of three nuclear and one thermal power plants on the microbial ecology of soils. Populations of bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, cellulolytic microbes, phosphate-solubilizing microbes and nitrogen-fixing microbes in the soil in the vicinity of each plant were studied. Soils were acidic at three sites, and moisture contents of the power plant soils were lo...

The enzyme quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) catalyses the oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid by direct oxidation in the periplasmic space of several Gram-negative bacteria. Acidification of the external environment with the release of gluconic acid contributes to the solubilization of the inorganic phosphate by biofertilizer strains of the phosphate-solubilizing bacteria. Glucose deh...

Phytate-degrading microorganisms with the ability to solubilize inorganic soil phosphates can serve as basis of bio-fertilizer. Four lowcost liquid compositions were examined for viability Pantoea brenneri strains 3.2 and 3.5.2 stored at room temperature 4°C six months. By end experiment, highest cell survival rate both P. 4°С 25°С was ensured by a LB broth supplemented glycerol. Moreover, main...
