Seven phosphate solubilising bacteria, belonging to
Enterobacteriaceae family, capable of utilizing Xylose and rock
phosphate as the sole carbon and phosphate source were isolated by
enrichment culture method. This PSB exhibited mineral phosphate
solubilising (MPS) phenotype on xylose and glucose, which are
substrates for enzyme glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), as carbon
sources. The isolates secreted formic acid and xylonic acid by
utilizing xylose. In all the isolates, GDH activity was found when
grown on Glucose and Xylose, indicating that it is constitutive and
could act on a wide range of aldose sugars. PFL enzyme activity in
all xylose utilizing cells was higher, since PFL is a marker of
anaerobic conditions thus all the isolates were facultative
anaerobes. Efficiency of the isolates for phosphorus solubilization
in natural environments was further confirmed by pot experiments on
mung bean plants.
