Abstract

The organophosphate-mineralizing bacteria (OPB) convert environmental organic phosphorus (P) into soluble P that can be directly absorbed and utilized by organisms. OPB is an important group of microorganisms in lake sediments. The P decomposed and released from the sediments by OPB is an important P-source in eutrophic water bodies. In this study, the egg-yolk organophosphate medium was used to isolate and screen OPB strains from the sediments of Sancha Lake. Furthermore, the obtained OPB strains were classified based on their 16S rDNA sequence. Both the solid and liquid lecithin hydrolyzing experiments were conducted to investigate the P-solubilizing characteristics of the obtained OPB strains. Microcosm experimentsiwere performed to study the P-release ability of OPB strains from sediments. A total of 39 OPB strains were isolated from the sediments of Sancha Lake. They belonged to three phyla, five families, and five genera, and contained two potentially new species. Bacillus and Pseudomonas were the dominant genera. On the solid lecithin plate, 35 of the 39 OPB strains produced visible phosphate halos, and 24 strains showed a high ratio of P halo diameter (HD)/colony diameter (CD). In the liquid lecithin medium, all 39 OPB strains demonstrated P-solubilizing ability, but with significant differences. The Pseudomonas strain demonstrated the strongest P-solubilizing ability, at 70.91 mg·L −1 . There was no significant correlation between the amount of released phosphorus by OPB strains and pH. The P-solubilizing characteristics of OPB were affected by the interaction of dissolved inorganic phosphate and alkaline phosphatase. In the microcosm experiments, the added OPB strains significantly promoted the decomposition and release of organic phosphorus (OP) in the sediments. OPB in the sediments of Sancha Lake is rich in diversity and had a strong ability to release OP in the sediments.
