A total of five isolates effectively solubilize the considerable amount of Tri-calcium phosphate {TCP, (Ca3PO4)2} ranging from 50.67 to 116.66 P2O5 parts per million (ppm) under optimized conditions, i.e., pH 8.0, 5 to 10% saline and 30 °C temperature. Out of five, three produced Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) ranging from 0.054 to 0.183 (g l−1). Identification of isolates has been carried out by morphology, biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA sequencing. Among the sequenced isolates, 1 belonged to Firmicutes, 3 were Proteobacteria and 1 was Actinobacteria.
