This research aims to find Indonesian local isolates of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) originated from Tuban Mangrove Center. The composited soil samples was taken by purposive sampling method. The isolation technique was done by serial dilution on pikovskaya media (10−1-10−8 CFU/g soils ). Bacteria was show clear zones around colonies indicated to solubilize phosphate. The potential bacteria were identified by morphological, physiological and molecular (16SrRNA gene). A total of 19 isolates were shown phosphate solubilizing. One isolate was namely 4a has highest phosphate solubilization index (2.36 ± 0.07mm) with similarity 97.28% belong to Kleibsiella variicola based on 16S rRNA gene analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
