Abstract

The presence of acid sulfate soils is such an obstacle for pineapple cultivation in Vietnam due to their low pH, high toxicity and poor nutrient availability, especially phosphorus (P), which is immobilized by cations in the soils. Therefore, the study occurred to select purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) strains that can solubilize P under toxic and acidic conditions. There were 33 strains that can tolerate the acidic condition, and they were selected and tested for viability and P solubilization under conditions containing Al³⁺, Fe²⁺, and Mn²⁺ toxins. Four strains, including W15, W39, W42 and W48 suffered from growth inhibition by Al³⁺, Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺ less than the other strains under both microaerobic light and aerobic dark conditions (ML and AD conditions). In addition, there were four strains (W15, W25, W42 and W48) solubilizing Al-P well (21.4-25.2 mg L^-1), two strains (W23 and W42) solubilizing Fe-P well (15.9-17.3 mg L^-1), and two strains (W17 and W42) solubilizing Ca-P well (23.0-36.4 mg L^-1) under both ML and AD conditions. Ultimately, there were five strains selected (W17, W23, W25, W42 and W48) and identified as Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain W17 and W23, Cereibacter sphaeroides strain W23, W42 and W48 based on the 16S rRNA technique. The selected strains also produced ALA, EPS and siderophores at 1.31-2.19 mg L^-1, 0.78-1.89 mg L^-1, and 16.2-55.6%, respectively. Therefore, these strains were promising in providing nutrients for pineapples in the form of biofertilizer.
