Abstract
Phosphate solubilizing ability of different isolates of fungi associated with legume root nodules was studied in vitro. Among the fungi tested, isolates of Penicillium lilacinum, Aspergillus sp., A. flavus, A. niger, A. terreus, and A. nidulans solubilized insoluble tricalcium phosphate. When soluble potassium dehydrogen phosphate was present with tricalcium phosphate in the medium, some of the fungi failed to solubilize phosphate.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
