Investigation of phosphate solubilising activity
revealed that only Torulaspora globosa DMKU-RP31 indicated
in vitro calcium phosphate solubilisation capability and
showed an obvious solubilising activity, expressed in the solubilisation efficiency (SE) unit of 1.22 (Table 1; Fig 2A). In addition to phosphate solubilisation, T. globosa DMKU-RP31 also
exhibited zinc oxide solubilisation, expressed in the SE unit
of 1.17 (Table 1; Fig 2B). The yeast T. globosa was reported to
be antagonistic towards the phytopathogenic mold Colletotrichum sublineolum, even though no siderophores, volatile compounds or fungal wall hydrolytic enzymes were detected (Rosa
et al. 2010).
