Abstract

Screening of Potassium Solubilizing Bacteria Using Hypersensitivity, Hemolysis, and Viability Tests. This study aimed to evaluate the biosafety and viability of Potassium Solubilizing Bacteria (KSB) as potential biofertilizers through hypersensitivity testing on tobacco plants, hemolysis testing on Blood Agar media, and viability assessment using molasses and zeolite as carrier media stored at 27oC (room temperature) and 4oC (refrigerator). Hypersensitivity testing showed that the KSB isolate was non-pathogenic to plants, as indicated by negative reactions on tobacco leaves. Hemolysis testing indicated gamma-hemolysis, with no clear zones or color changes on Blood Agar, confirming that the isolate is non-pathogenic and safe for humans and animals. Viability was assessed using Total Plate Count (TPC) on molasses and zeolite as carrier media at 27 oC and 4 oC on days 14 and 28 after inoculation. The results showed that the KSB isolate in molasses stored at 27°C exhibited the highest population growth, reaching 5,6x10⁸ CFU/ml on day 14 and 6,7x10⁹ CFU/ml on day 28. In comparison, the KSB isolate in zeolite at the same temperature showed lower growth, 3,9x10⁸ CFU/g on day 14 and 1,1x10⁹ CFU/g on day 28. Both carriers stored at 4 °C showed slight declines in population, reaching 7,7x105 CFU/ml (molasses) and 3,9x106 CFU/g (zeolite) on day 28. These results indicate that molasses at room temperature (27 °C) is the most suitable carrier for maintaining viable KSB populations, supporting the development of safe and effective potassium-solubilizing biofertilizers that improve plant nutrient availability and ensure biosafety.
