Characterization of phosphate solubilizing plant growth promoting rhizobacterium Lysinibacillus pakistanensis strain PCPSMR15 isolated from Oryza sativa.

ABSTRACT: The rhizosphere soil is a source for a diversity of microorganisms which play a vital role in the enhancement of plant health through the mechanism of symbiotic interaction thereby influencing the plant growth. The present study aimed at isolating potential phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria from rice (Oryza sativa) crop for which, four different rhizosphere soil samples were collected from different locations of Tiruvallur district, India. Isolates were cultured on nutrient agar medium followed by serial dilutions and different colonies with morphological variations were isolated from each dilution. A total of 52 bacteria were isolated and maintained as pure cultures. Out of the 52 isolates, 16 strains showed phosphate solubilizing ability and amongst them, 4 were highly potentia
