Solubilization efficiency (PSE) of various isolates varied from 6.0 to 118.3 per cent on solid medium. Sixty nine isolates showed < 50 per cent PSE and only 2 isolates showed PSE more than 100 per cent. P solubilization by all the isolates varied from 22.7 to 247.7 g/ml. Seven isolate showed >200 g/ml solubilization in liquid medium. Phosphate from rock phosphate was poorly solubilized which varied from 0.001 to 0.258 g/ml. No relationship between P solubilization and change in pH was observed. Only fifteen isolates have complementary antibiotic resistance with donor strain of E. coli. Morphological and biochemical characteristics of selected isolates based on P solubilization efficiency (18C, 42C, 43C and 76C) showed that they belong to genus Pseudomonas. The various transconjugants showed -galactosidase activity varying from 0.96 to 2.02 Miller’s Unit and showed blue colour on X-gal medium plates. The transconjugants (42CT and 76CT) were able to survive in chickpea rhizosphere under pot house conditions, which appeared as blue colonies on X-gal plates with a population of ~103/gram soil, upto 120 DAS. The PSB and their transconjugants showed an increase in dry shoot weight and nutrients uptake by chickpea. Dry matter yield of 61.81, 82.91 and 110.75 g/pot was recorded by the application of 30 kg SSP with PSB at 60, 90 and 120 DAS respectively. N and P uptake increased with the inoculation of PSB and their transconjugants. Significantly higher N uptake 31.54 and 66.31 per cent was recorded by the inoculation of SSP with 42C and SSP (60 kg/ha) at 90 and 120 DAS, respectively than control. At 90 and 120 DAS, maximum P uptake 92.56 and 114.0 per cent, respectively, was recorded by the inoculation of SSP with 42C than control.
