Humico Bacillus megaterium for Sale

No, but it significantly reduces dependency. It solubilizes locked phosphorus already in your soil, allowing you to cut chemical P input by 10–20% without yield loss. Think of it as a “fertilizer enhancer” – it unlocks what you already applied in previous seasons.

Yes, it works well with most beneficial microbes. In fact, combining Bacillus megaterium (P-solubilizer) with B. subtilis (biocontrol) or B. mucilaginosus (K-solubilizer) creates a powerful “full nutrient activation” consortium for healthier soils and plants.

Our strain produces over 95% endospores – dormant, heat-resistant forms. Through deep-tank fermentation and low-temperature drying, we preserve spore integrity. These spores withstand typical granulation heat (60–80°C) and remain viable in finished pellets for months.

Root stimulation effects can be observed within 10–14 days (more white root tips). Above-ground improvements (greener leaves, stronger stems) typically appear by mid-season. For full P-release benefits, allow 3–4 weeks of active soil colonization.

Mixing with NPK is generally fine – dilute the fertilizer fully in water first, then add the bacterial powder. However, avoid direct mixing with fungicides, bactericides, or strong acids/alkalis, as these can kill viable cells. For tank mixes, apply within a few hours.

It is known for its exceptionally large cell size and powerful ability to solubilize insoluble soil phosphorus into plant-available forms.

No, it is non-pathogenic and considered safe for humans, animals, and the environment.

It is commonly found in soil, especially in the rhizosphere (root zone), as well as in decaying organic matter and aquatic sediments.

It is a rod-shaped (bacillus) bacterium, typically occurring singly or in short chains.

It boosts phosphorus availability, promotes root growth via phytohormones, improves soil structure, and reduces chemical fertilizer dependency.

There is no widely accepted synonym, but it is sometimes referred to as a “phosphate-solubilizing bacterium” (PSB) or “giant bacillus.”

It is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming prokaryote (bacterium).

It was first described by the German botanist Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli in 1857.

It plays a key role in sustainable agriculture by recycling fixed phosphorus and reducing the need for synthetic phosphate fertilizers.

Yes, it has a long history of safe use in biofertilizers, enzyme production, and biotechnology applications.

Some Bacillus species (e.g., B. anthracis, B. cereus) can cause diseases, but Bacillus megaterium is not a human or plant pathogen.

Identification includes microscopic observation of large rods, Gram-positive staining, endospore formation, and biochemical tests such as catalase positivity and phosphate solubilization on Pikovskaia agar.
