| Abstract: | The Himalayan soil shows a poor content of bioavailable phosphorus. Phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) provide an ecofriendly and economically sound approach to overcome this P scarcity and its subsequent uptake by plants. In this study high altitude PSM have been isolated from eleven grass land soil samples of different altitude level of Singalila mountain range of Eastern Himalaya. Soil samples showed acidic nature and very low moisture content. Microbiological status reflected the colony forming unit (CFU) ranging between 7.1 X 107 and 43.6 X 107 per g of soil. The distribution of PSM appeared 0.78% - 5.2 % which decreased in number with elevation. Organisms with high phosphate solubilizing index were tentatively identified as the strains of Bacillus, Micrococcus and Pseudomonas. |
