Phosphate solubilizing bacteria adaptive to vinasse

Microorganisms identified as phosphate solubilizing bacteria (psb) adaptive to vinasse were successfully screened from sugarcane soil from an agriculatural estate in jatiroto. by conducting a screening on pikovskaya’s agar medium (pam),we found that five different isolates were detected as psb (pvk- 5a,pvk-5b,pvk-6b,pvk-7a,and pvk-8a). of the five isolates only three could be grown and were found to be adaptive to vinasse based medium without any nutrients added (pvk-5a,pvk-5b and pvk-7a). the three isolates were characterized as coccus and gram negative with no endospores detected. we suggest that these three isolates can be used as biofertilizer agent to support organic farming. © 2015,published by itb journal publisher.
