Abstract

This review summarizes the functional diversity of phosphate-solubilizing microbes (i.e. bacteria and fungi associated with the solubilization of phosphorus compounds) in soil. Dynamics of major compounds of inorganic and organic phorphorus in soil are briefly documented, and importance of soil microbes as a pool and in the transformation of phosphorus is introduced. Microbes are functionally diverse in terms of their ability to solubilize inorganic and organic phosphorus, with previous studies identifying 50 genera of Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mucoromycota as phosphate-solubilizing fungi. Recent studies on the metabarcoding of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria possessing genes encoding phosphatases that hydrolyze organic phosphorus compounds are reviewed, and future research directions regarding phosphatase-producing fungi are discussed.
