Our FAME identification of rhizobacteria isolates is in line with
Linu et al. (2009) who identified the phosphate solubilizing bacteria
Gluconobacter spp. and Burkholderia spp. by FAME profiling
technique. The biochemical and physiological characteristics described
for Pseudomonas species, P. putida, B. cereus and S. marcescens
are in agreement with the reports of Bossis et al. (2000) and
Földes et al. (2000).The utilization of diverse carbon sources by
Pseudomonas species indicates their metabolic and ecological
diversity, presupposing their success of survival and competency
in the environment when applied or introduced as a biocontrol
agent.
