Trichoderma strains have been one of the most studied filamentous fungi for improving the production and development of several crop species mainly due to their capability for symbiotic associations and their ability to control soil-borne plant diseases. Thus, this work sought to bioprospect Trichodermastrains from the Amazon rainforest capable of solubilizing/mineralizing soil phosphate and promoting soybean growth. Soybean plants inoculated with selected Trichoderma strains were cultivated in soil under greenhouse conditions and under a gradient of rock phosphate and triple superphosphate. As a result, 19.5% of the isolated Trichoderma strains were able to solubilize phosphate. In addition, those strains produced different organic acids during the solubilization process. Trichoderma spp. strains showed positive responses in the promotion of soybean growth?from 2.1% to 41.1%?as well as in the efficiency of P uptake-up to 141%. These results reveal the potential of Trichoderma spp. from the Amazon biome as promising biofertilizer agents. aAcid soils aBiofertilizers aPhosphorus aPlant growth aSoil fungi aSoybeans aBiofertilizante aEstimulante de Crescimento Vegetal aFosfato aFósforo aMicrobiologia do Solo aMicrorganismo aSoja aSolo Ácido aTrichoderma1 aCHIARAMONTE, J.
