Simple Summary Phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs), a large microflora that
mediate bioavailable soil P, play a critical role in soil by mineralizing organic P, solubilizing …

Phosphorus (P) is a vital soil macronutrient required by plants for optimum growth and
development. However, its availability is limited because of fixation. The phosphorus fixation …

While the contribution of biodiversity to supporting multiple ecosystem functions is well
established in natural ecosystems, the relationship of the above-and below-ground diversity …

Background Increasing crop production to feed a growing population has driven the use of
mineral fertilizers to ensure nutrients availability and fertility of agricultural soils. After …

Bioremediation by phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has attracted extensive attentions
due to its economical and eco-friendly properties for lead (Pb) passivation in soil. Herein …

The growth of the human population is causing an exponential increase in the need for food.
Fertilizers are one of the most important elements to meet this increased demand and to …

Enhancing soil phosphate solubilization is a promising strategy for agricultural sustainability,
while little is known about the mechanisms of how microorganisms cope with differing …

Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in the soil-plant nutrient cycling. Although the
exogenous application of chemical P fertilizers can satisfy crop P requirements during …

Background Phytoremediation is a potentially cost-effective way to remediate highly
contaminated mine tailing sites. However, nutrient limitations, especially the deficiency of …

Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …
