Description 48-51
The occurrence
and physiological characteristics of marine phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB)
around the Indian peninsula were studied. A higher percentage of phosphate solubilizing
bacteria was seen in the islands and coastal areas as compared to the offshore
and sandy beaches. Most of the PSB belonged to Bacillus spp. Additions
of nutrients (glucose, yeast extract) enhanced their growth rate and phosphatase
activity of the bacteria. Variations in temperature had a negligible effect on
enzyme activity. Their ability to survive on carriers

up to 60 days indicates that
they could be effective seed organisms for field applications. These bacteria
were found to be highly adaptive and therefore, can significantly contribute to
the phosphate economy of the marine environment.
