Phosphorus (P) is one of the major bio elements limiting agricultural production. Phosphate solubilizing fungi play a noteworthy role in increasing the bioavailability of soil phosphates for plants. The present study was aimed at isolating and characterizing phosphate solubilizing fungi from teff rhizosphere soil. Fungi were identified using lactophenol cotton blue staining confirmation and Biolog micro station. Fungi isolates were screened and transferred to Biolog universal yeast agar media. Pure yeast cells and filamentous fungi were suspended in sterile water and filamentous fungi (FF) inoculum fluid at 49 ± 2 and 75 ± 2 turbidity measured by Biolog turbidimeter respectively. 100 μ-L transferred from each suspension into 96 wells of the biolog yeast micro Plate and filamentous fungi microplate tagged with different carbon source and incubated at 26°C for 24 to..
