Isolation and Characterization of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria from Agricultural Soils
Interns will collect soil samples from different agricultural systems and isolate phosphate solubilizing bacterial strains using selective media. They will characterize these isolates through biochemical tests, molecular identification, and quantification of phosphate solubilization efficiency under various pH and temperature conditions.

In Vitro Assessment of Phosphate Solubilization Mechanisms
Interns will investigate the biochemical mechanisms of phosphate solubilization by studying organic acid production, phosphatase enzyme activity, and chelation capacity of isolated microbial strains. They will employ chromatography, enzyme assays, and spectrophotometric techniques to quantify these solubilization pathways.
