Article Synopsis
- Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants, but its availability in soil is often limited due to being locked in insoluble forms.
- Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (phosphobacteria) like Serratia sp. RJAL6, Klebsiella sp. RCJ4, and Enterobacter sp. 198 can help convert these forms into plant-accessible phosphates and have shown promise in promoting plant growth, particularly under stress and nutrient deficiency.
- Genomic analysis of these bacteria revealed important genes related to phosphorus solubilization and growth promotion, suggesting that Serratia sp. RJAL6 may be classified as a new species and holds potential as a biofertilizer in agriculture.
