    Abstract: A total of eleven phosphate solubilizing bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere soil of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants. Isolates designated as PSB1, PSB2, PSB4, PSB5 and PSB7 were selected out of eleven isolates based on their clear zone diameters. They were characterized to generic level and found to belong to Pseudomonas spp. Tricalcium ph... Show More
