<p>Ten species of Aspergillus isolated from soil samples collected from different locations in the Indian Himalayan region have been studied for their growth requirements and tricalcium phosphate solubilization at different temperatures. The Aspergillus species could grow at low temperature and tolerated a wide range of pH. Phosphate solubilization by various Aspergillus species ranged between 374lg/ml (A. candidus) to 1394μg/ml (A. niger) at 28˚C, 33μg/ml (A. fumigatus) to 2354μg/ml (A. niger) at 21˚C, 93μg/ml (A. fumigatus) to 1452μg/ml (A. niger) at 14˚C, and 21μg/ml (A. wentii) to 83μg/ml (A. niger) at 9˚C. At 21 and 28˚C, phosphate solubilization showed a decrease within 4 weeks of incubation, whereas at 9˚C and 14˚C, it continued further up to 6 weeks of incubation. In general, phosphate solubilization by different Aspergillus species was recorded at a maximum of 28˚C or 21˚C; biomass production was favored at 21˚C or 14˚C. Conversely, A. nidulans and A. sydowii exhibited maximum phosphate solubilization at 14˚C and produced maximum biomass at 21˚C. Data suggest that suboptimal conditions (higher or lower temperature) for fungal growth and biomass production were optimal for the production of metabolites involved in phosphate solubilization. Significant negative correlations were obtained between pH and phosphate solubilization for eight species at 28˚C, for seven at 21˚C, and for nine at 14˚C. Extracellular phosphatase activity was exhibited only in case of A. niger, whreas intracellular phosphatase activity was detected in all species, the maximum being in A. niger. Statistically significant positive or negative correlations were obtained between phosphate solubilization and other parameters in most cases at different temperatures.</p>
