SCREENING THE CAPABILITY OF POTASSIUM MOBILIZING RHIZOBACTERIA TO METABOLISE HERBICIDE GLYPHOSATE

Abstract

Screening of zonal isolates Bacillus sp. By cultivation on solid and liquid nutrient media with different sources of carbon and phosphorus at background of increasing concentrations of glyphosate resulted in the determination of perspective target objects, which are capable of metabolization herbicide glyphosate as a sole P-source. Screening showed that potassium mobilizing rhizobacteria Bacillus sp. Virtually not capable of glyphosate utilization as sole carbon source for metabolism.
