The present
study focuses on the phosphate-solubilizing capacity of bacteria and fungi in rhizospheric soil samples obtained from
betel vine plants, revealing the dominance of Aspergillus species (26.1 mm) as major phosphate solubilizers, along with
Bacillus subtilis (46.6 mm) among the bacteria that utilize tricalcium phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate,
and rock phosphate as phosphate sources.
