Plants require optimum amount of available phosphorus to support their growth and development. Phosphorus is known to have significant role in ischolar_main subdivision, vitality and disease resistance of plants. Different types of bacteria involved in phosphorus solubilization can be used as biofertilizer in reclamation of mining area. The present study deals with isolation and identification of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria from the manganese mining area of Balaghat and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh, India. rDNA (16s) based molecular identification was performed assisted by MEGA phylogenetic analysis. Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus licheniformis, Pseudomonas taiwanensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were explored as potential phosphorus solubilizers from the selected sites.
