Phosphorus is a vital nutrient for plants, but it's often hard for them to get enough. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria help by making phosphorus more available to plants. In this study, scientists found these helpful bacteria in the soil around Acacia trees. They tested the bacteria's ability to release phosphorus from a compound called tricalcium phosphate. The bacteria were able to do this well and could survive in different temperatures and pH levels. They also showed resistance to a small amount of mercury. These findings suggest that these bacteria could be useful in making bio-fertilizers for agriculture.
