Abstract

Microbial phosphate (P) solubilisation has been reportedly impacted by various environmental conditions.  Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the effects of different cultural/environmental conditions on phosphate solubilisation in bacteria and fungi. Phosphate-solubilising microorganisms (PSM) were isolated from rhizospheric soil of tomatoes, cowpea, and corn and then screened for phosphate solubilsation on Pikovskaya (PVK) agar. Effects of different environmental conditions on phosphate solubilisation were evaluated by cultivating PSM in National Botanical Research Institute's Phosphate growth medium (NBRIP) amended with different carbon and nitrogen sources, salt concentrations and maintained at varying pH and temperature regimes. Five strains of the microbes produced halo zones on PVK agar.  Isolate NF1 had the highest solubilisation index (4.0), followed by NB3 (3.5) and NF2 (3.45), NB1 (2.0), and then NB2 (1.0). In terms of supporting P solubilisation, carbon sources performed in the order: glucose>fructose>sucrose> maltose>mannitol in the best performed fungal (NF1) and bacterial (NB3) isolates (P≤0.05). Similarly, the nitrogen sources performed in the following order: (NH4)2SO4>NaNO3>Ca(NO3)2>KNO3 (P≤0.05)in both NF1and NB3. pH 7.0, 30 oC and 0% NaCl were found to support the highest quantity of P solubilised. The highest P solubilised was 0.67 mg/mL in NB3 and 0.72 mg/mL in NF1. Given the conditions employed in this study, the fungal isolate was more efficient in phosphate solubilisation than its bacterial counterpart. NF1 and NB3 were identified through microbiological and molecular methods as Pseudomonas mosseliid7 and Aspergillus niger VITAF1 respectively. Therefore, optimum solubilisation was dependent on the interplay between organisms and their environmental conditions.
