Isolation reveals phosphate solubilizing bacteria in mangrove, suggesting potential for enhancing plant growth.

The isolated bacteria increased the Phosphate Solubilizing Index, with one strain showing a PSI value of 2.3.
Among 32 isolates, only 8 demonstrated effective phosphate solubilizing abilities for plant nutrient accessibility.
Genetic analysis through 16S rRNA sequencing identified the most effective isolate as Bacillus pumilus ST3-23-10.
Study highlights the potential use of identified bacteria as a bioinoculant for improving plant growth in mangrove ecosystems.

A 2025 study studied this question.
