Incidence and diversity of phosphate-solubilising bacteria are linked to phosphorus status in grassland soils

The extent to which soil phosphorus (P) status affected the incidence of soil phosphate-solubilising bacteria (PSB) and their taxonomic abundance and diversity was examined at three long-term fertiliser trials (Whatawhata, Winchmore and Ballantrae) in New Zealand. Bacteria were isolated from rhizosp...

Zusammenfassung:The extent to which soil phosphorus (P) status affected the incidence of soil phosphate-solubilising bacteria (PSB) and their taxonomic abundance and diversity was examined at three long-term fertiliser trials (Whatawhata, Winchmore and Ballantrae) in New Zealand. Bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere (ryegrass and clover) and non-rhizosphere soils differing in P status. The P-solubilising phenotype was determined on agar supplemented with sparingly-soluble mineral phosphates (Ca2OH(PO4)3 and CaHPO4). The frequency of P-solubilisation in the bacterial population was significantly greater (P
