Qualitative assay for detecting extracellular phytase production by Bacillus subtilis KT004404 on phytase-screening medium (PSM) with Na-phytate. Zones of clearance formed around the wells (A) and (B) loaded with bacterial filtrate while well (C) was loaded with control and showed no clearance zone.
