Screening of two efficient phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, strain X42 (Bacillus_A_bombysepticus) and strain G62 (Bacillus velezensis) for their ability to promote Gan Nan navel o... by Wenyuan Zhao, Tao Peng, Haojie Cao, Huimin Huang, Shuijing Yu

“…The comparison also revealed the presence of phosphate solubilization-encoding genes in both strains, with strain G62 lacking the genes for phytate mineralization and inorganic phosphorus dissolution, which may prevent it from utilizing additional organic phosphorus sources. Conclusion This study not only confirms the positive impact of two highly efficient phosphate-solubilizing Bacillus strains on the growth of navel oranges in southern Jiangxi but also deepens the understanding of the genetic basis of phosphate-solubilizing traits through whole-genome analysis. …”
