Abstract: Phosphorusp is one of the limited factors for agricultural production. Both protozoa and microorganisms play important roles in the P transformation of soil. Through pure culture and soil incubation experiments, it was found that the tested protozoa of Colopodia,Oxytricna and Australothrix had significant activity in dissolving rock phosphate. Soil available P increased largely due to the inoculation. A large amount of the dissolved P was absorbed by the organisms, and released after chloroform fumigation. Significant amount of the P was changed to biomass P. However, no significant interaction was found between the tested protozoa and phosphate solubilizing bacteria.
