Phosphorous is, after nitrogen, the second
most important element in plant nutrition
In many plants of agronomic interest,
phosphorous is a key a key factor in fruit
properties and precocity, which is very
important under a commercial point of view
only 0.1% of the total phosphorous from
soil is available to plants
Among Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria,
there are some strains which mode of action is
based on solubilization of insoluble phosphates
and mobilization of P in soil-plant interface
Among Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria, the most
powerful strains are included in diverse taxonomic
groups,
as
Gram
negative
Proteobacteria
(pseudomonads and rhizobia) and Gram positive
bacteria of low G+C content (Bacillus).
Some strains of rhizobia and other related
genera, besides their potential to nodulate
legumes and fix atmospheric nitrogen, can
solubilize phosphates and mobilize P to plants
The strain PECA21 is able to nodulate, fix nitrogen and
movilize phosphorous to Cicer arietinum

CONCLUSIONS
LMW RNA profiles obtained by Staircase electrophoresis allow
the identification of phosphate solubilizing bacteria belonging to
very diverse taxonomic groups. In our case strain PECA21
isolated from chickpea was identified as Mesorhizobium
mediterraneum
In strawberry plants inoculated with strain Mesorhizobium
mediterraneum PECA21 added with phosphate, phosphorous
mobilization in plant-soil interface was observed, increasing
significantly their P content.
Strawberry plants inoculated with strain Mesorhizobium
mediterraneum PECA21 added with phosphate yielded fruit
production higher than twice the quantity compared to control
plants, and therefore this strains behaves as a good PGPR,
showing potential as microbial inoculant for strawberry in the
future.
