Evaluation of different carrier material for survival Aspergillus niger a phosphate solubilizing organism

Abstract

Species of Aspergillus viz. A. niger, A. flavus, A. terreus were found to be effective phosphorous solubilizers, in order to utilize these species for large scale production of bioformulation, the basic studies on survival of the test organism in different carrier material was done. Out of six carrier materials tested for survival of Aspergillus spp. Lignite was found to be the most effective carrier material for all Aspergillus spp. with good colony growth up to 90 days.
