Five bacterial strains were isolated for primary scre ening to test the phosphate solubilizing activity f rom seaweed fed earthworm gut and seaweed vermicompost. Th e selected three bacteria were tested for phosphate solubilizing activity in Pikovskaya’s broth amended with 250mg of TCP. Among the bacteria, maximum phosp hate solubilization was observed in B. licheniformis i. e , 795.3 ±10.5 μg/ml. 16S rRNA sequence of most efficient bacteria, Bacillus licheniformis strain APSAC 04 was deposited in the NCBI Gen bank with the following accession number KY886136 for further retrieval and comparison.
