dc.description.abstractSoil is a treasure chest for beneficial bacteria with applications in diverse fields, which include agriculture, rhizoremediation, and medicine. Metagenomic analysis of four soil samples identified Proteobacteria as the dominant phylum (32�52%) followed by the phylum Acidobacteria (11�21% in three out of four soils). Bacteria that were prevalent at the highest level belong to the genus Kaistobacter (8�19%). PICRUSt analysis predicted KEGG functional pathways associated with the metagenomes of the four soils. The identified pathways could be attributed to metal tolerance, antibiotic resistance and plant growth promotion. The prevalence of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) was investigated in four soil samples, ranging from 26 to 59% of the total culturable bacteria. The abundance of salt-tolerant and metal-tolerant bacteria showed considerable variation ranging from 1 to 62% and 4�69%, respectively. In comparison, the soil with the maximum prevalence of temperature-tolerant and antibiotic-resistant bacteria was close 30%. In this study, the common pattern observed was that PSB were the most abundant in all types of soils compared to other traits. Conversely, most of the isolates, which are salt-tolerant, copper-tolerant, and ampicillin-resistant, showed phosphate solubilization activity. The sequencing of the partial 16S-rRNA gene revealed that PSB belonged to Bacillus genera. � 2021, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology.en_US
