To develop and evaluate a more efficient microbiological growth medium (NBRIP) for screening phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms compared to the standard Pikovskaya medium.
Formulated National Botanical Research Institute's phosphate growth medium (NBRIP) as a defined microbiological culture medium.
Evaluated microbial phosphate solubilization performance across NBRIP and Pikovskaya (PVK) media using both solid agar plate assays and liquid broth assays.
Demonstrated comparable solubilizing performance between NBRIP and PVK in solid agar plate assays.
Demonstrated an approximate threefold higher efficiency of phosphate solubilization with NBRIP compared to PVK in liquid broth assays.
Observed that numerous isolates solubilized insoluble inorganic phosphates in liquid broth without forming visible clear halo zones on agar plates.
