| Abstract |
The development of bio-fertilizer inoculants is important and desirable. Two phosphate-solubilizing Bacillus subtilis strains were inoculated onto maize bran residue (MBR), which was used as bio-fertilizer carrier and a primary source of nutrients in a medium used for semi-solid fermentation. Water holding capacity, swelling capacity, scanning electron microscopy, and shelf-life assays demonstrated that ground MBR had satisfactory properties for a bio-fertilizer carrier. The maximal soluble phosphorus (P) reached 642.7 ± 0.43 mg l-1 in an orthogonal test under the following optimal conditions: a pH of 7.0, a cultivation temperature of 31 °C, a medium water content of 160%, and a filling capacity of 500 g l-1. The bio-fertilizer produced by MBR improved the growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa pekinensis) with respect to plant height (by up to 18.36%) and the lengths of roots (by up to 34.03%, 27.22%, separately) in a pot experiment. This study integrated the production and storage of a bio-fertilizer to realize the one-step production of a solid bio-fertilizer using MBR. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 September 2018.
All research outputs
#18,650,639
of 23,105,443 outputs
Outputs from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#1,799
of 2,533 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#261,436
of 341,556 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#6
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,105,443 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,533 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,556 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
