Roles of Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms from Managing Soil Phosphorus Deficiency to Mediating Biogeochemical P Cycle

摘要

Phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs), a large microflora that mediate bioavailable soil P, play a critical role in soil by mineralizing organic P, solubilizing inorganic P minerals, and storing large amounts of P in biomass. Given that the basic soil P forms and orthophosphate levels can be mediated by PSMs, we conclude that PSMs also play a critical role in the soil P cycle. The present review summarizes the comprehensive and recent understanding about the roles of PSMs in P geochemical processes.
