Principle
- Aleksandrow broth consists of salts like magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and potassium alumino silicate, ferric chloride which support the growth of potassium-solubilizing bacteria by providing the essential minerals.
- Dextrose is a carbon and energy source. The potassium alumino silicates serve as an inorganic source of potassium salts.

Use:
Recommended for isolation and detection of potassium solubilizing bacteria from soil samples in agro and biofertilizer industries.
