Five potassium solubilizing microorganisms were isolated from the arid soil of Jodhpur, India. Among them two fungal isolates RCKF7 followed by RCKF5 showed higher dissolution capacity towards feldspar, resulting in the release of more potassium compared to the others. Based on morphological characters and sequencing of ITS1––ITS2 region the strains were identified as Fomitopsis meliae RCKF7 and Aspergillus tubingensis RCKF5. | Isolation and identification of two potassium solubilizing fungi from arid soil
