Characterization of Some Agricultural Soils: Presence and Activity of Tilemsi Rock Phosphate-Solubilizing Thiobacilli

Amadou Hamadoun Babana, Fassé Samaké & Kadia Maïga · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2011

The bacteria Thiobacillus thioparus, Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Thiobacillus ferooxidans are known to be able to oxidize elemental sulfur in soils and influence phosphorus solubilization. These bacteria can solubilize the phosphorus of apatite rock by producing sulfuric acid fr...
