Abstract: Inorganic phosphate-solubilizing bacteria can dissolve insoluble phosphate in soil,increase available phosphorus content in soil and thus promote plant growth. An inorganic phosphate-solubilizing bacterium Mp1-Ha4 screened from poplar rhizosphere soil was used as the research object. The strain was identified by molecular biology method,and its phosphate-solubilizing ability to calcium phosphate,aluminum phosphate and iron phosphate was determined. The dissolution kinetics of calcium phosphate by this strain within 9 days was also studied. The results showed that the inorganic phosphate-solubilizing bacterium Mp1-Ha4 was a Cedecea sp.,and its ability to dissolve calcium phosphate was much stronger than that to dissolve aluminum phosphate and iron phosphate. In NBRIP liquid culture medium,the strain’s dissolving ability to calcium phosphate reached 497.4 mg/L. During the phosphate solubilization process,the pH and titratable acidity of the culture medium showed significant negative and positive correlations with the phosphate solubilization amount,respectively. High performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that the strain secreted a large amount of organic acids,mainly including α-ketoglutaric acid,tartaric acid and malic acid,in the process of phosphorus removal. Secreting organic acids and reducing environmental pH may be the main mechanism of dissolving insoluble phosphate by inorganic phosphate-solubilizing bacterium Mp1-Ha4. Meanwhile,the efficient dissolution of calcium phosphate by the strain has great research and application prospects.
