ABSTRACT = {The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of using <i>B. megaterium</i> in solubilization of phosphates from different secondary raw materials, such as fish bones, poultry bones, ashes and phosphorite, by identification of the effect of different doses of phosphorus-bearing materials on the growth of microbial cells and the effectiveness of the solubilization process. Both FTIR as well as SEM-EDX techniques were used to compare the effect of the acids on renewable phosphorus source. Two doses of mentioned materials were used: 2 and 30 g/L. The effect of solubilization was expressed as the solubilization factor (SF, %), defined as the ratio (expressed as percentage) of soluble P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> present in the solution and total phosphorus (expressed as P2O5) introduced into solubilization medium in the solid form. The evaluated SF ranged between 0.672% obtained for phosphorite (30 g/L) and 85% for fish bones (2 g/L) with variations among different sources of phosphate and different doses used in the experiment.},
