Organic acids production by zinc solubilizing bacterial isolates

Zinc (Zn) is the most effective micronutrient and Zn solubilization is triggered by the production of organic acids for the optimum growth of plants. An investigation was carried out on organic acid production profiling during zinc solubilization by zinc solubilizing bacterial (ZSB) strains (B. aryabhattai, Pseudomonas taiwenensis and Bacillus sp. PANTM1) which were obtained from the Culture Collection Centre, Microbiology Laboratory, SSAC, ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru, India.
