Alcaligenes aquatilis GTE53: Phosphate solubilising and bioremediation bacterium isolated from new biotope "phosphate sludge enriched-compost".

ABSTRACT: The isolation and identification of beneficial bacteria from the active phase of composting is considered to be a key bio-quality parameter for the assessment of the process. The aim of this work was the selection and identification of beneficial bacteria from a co-composting experiment of vegetable waste (VW), olive oil mill waste (O₂MW), and phosphate sludge (PS). Phosphate-solubilizing strains were isolated from the thermophilic phase using Pikovskaya (PVK) solid medium supplemented with tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4) (TCP) as the sole source of phosphorus (P). Therefore, the selected isolate Alcaligenes aquatilis GTE53 was tested to tolerate abiotic stresses (different levels of temperature, variable pH, high salinity and water stress). The isolate was also assessed fo
