TL;DR: Four strains namely, Arthrobacter ureafaciens, Phyllobacterium myrsinacearum, Rhodococcus erythropolis and Delftia sp.

TL;DR: In this article, a compilation of marine sedimentary phosphorus burial rates for the last 160 Myr suggests that natural variations have occurred that span one order of magnitude, which suggests that uniform interpretations with respect to the emplacement of major phosphorite deposits should be treated with caution.

TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the literature on the effectiveness of a number of sorbents, especially some novel ones that have recently emerged, in removing and recovering phosphate can be found in this article.
Abstract: Sorption is an effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly treatment process for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater sources which otherwise can cause eutrophication of receiving waters. Phosphorus in wastewater, if economically recovered, can partly overcome the future scarcity of phosphorus resulting from exhaustion of natural phosphate rock reserves. The authors present a comprehensive and critical review of the literature on the effectiveness of a number of sorbents, especially some novel ones that have recently emerged, in removing and recovering phosphate. Mechanisms and thermodynamics of sorption, as well as regeneration of sorbents for reuse using acids, bases, and salts, are critically examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of phosphorus in vital life processes, such as photosynthesis in plants and energy transformations in all forms of life, and how it plays a significant role in sustaining and building up soil fertility, particularly under intensive systems of agriculture.
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is essential for plants and animals because of its role in vital life processes, such as in photosynthesis in plants and energy transformations in all forms of life. It also has a significant role in sustaining and building up soil fertility, particularly under intensive systems of agriculture.
