Mineral Solubilization by Microorganism: Mitigating Strategy in Mineral Deficient Soil

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Biotechnology

Abstract

Injudicious use of fertilizers, pesticides etc. in soils have posed negative impact on both productivity and environmental sustainability. Thus, there is a need to amend the soil with the help of sustainable agents like microorganism that may add to the soil fertility without posing negative impact on the plants and the soil properties. The capability of microorganisms to convert insoluble forms of mineral nutrients into easy and absorbable forms makes them very effective strategist in mineral deficient soils, this phenomenon of making minerals available in soils is referred as mineral solubilization. This strategy could also be important in enhancing crop productivity. These microorganisms could be referred as bio-agents that solubilize the fixed form of minerals into the available form. This chapter will provide brief knowledge of several mineral solubilizing microorganisms, with special emphasis on their role in enhancing plants productivity. Apart from solubilization, whether these organisms are involved in other mechanisms of regulating plants growth will also be discussed. We will try elucidating whether these microorganisms play some role under stress condition and also the mechanism by which they do so.
