I have read many people cited Fiske and Subarrow method [1] for measure phosphate solubilization ability of bacteria. I also found that some people also use Murphy and Riley [2] and APHA 4500-P-C Vanadomolybdophosphoric acid Colorimetric Method [3] for performing it.

Which one that more reliable and acceptable? Does anybody have suggestions about it?
