Pikovskaya’s Broth is a modification of Pikovskayas agar medium originally modified by Sundara Rao and Sinha (1) for
culturing phosphate solubilizing microorganisms. Both inorganic and organic phosphates exists in soil. Many naturally
occurring soil fungi and bacteria are phosphate solubilizers and they play an important role in maintaining phosphorus balance
of crop plants. This fact is exploited in culturing phosphate solubilzers which are able to solubilize bound phosphates. (2).
Phosphate as calcium phosphate is present in the medium. Dextrose acts as energy source. Different salts and yeast extract
supports the growth of organisms. The growth obtained in Pikovsyaayas broth (M1719) may be detected for phosphate
solubilization by subculturing or spot inoculation on Pikovskayas agar (M520). Phopshate solubilization is indicated as
clearance around growth or colony.
