Abstract The current research study aims to optimize and assess phosphate solubilizing activity by fungal isolates derived from the mangrove ecosystem under a variety of environmental and nutritional circumstances. Fungal strains PSF-4 and PSF-6 were evaluated in Pikovskaya's medium under various phosphorus, nitrogen, and carbon sources, as well as pH levels, incubation times, and temperatures. PSF-4 had the greatest phosphate solubilization of all the parameters examined. Maximum solubility was achieved working with tricalcium phosphate 450 µg/ml, ammonium sulfate 390 µg/ml, and glucose 420 µg/ml as phosphorus, nitrogen, and carbon sources, respectively. Optimal environmental conditions were pH 6 460 µg/ml, 14 days of incubation 470 µg/ml, and 30°C temperature 445 µg/ml. PSF-6 had a lower activity level. This is the first thorough investigation on improving phosphate solubility in fungal isolates from a mangrove habitat. The results provide information on the effectiveness and adaptability of mangrove-derived fungus, showing their potential as eco-friendly biofertilizers in nutrient-deficient and saline-prone areas.
