•Diverse phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms were isolated from oil palm rhizosphere.•Isolates belong to genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Klebsiella, and Burkholderia.•Best isolates were identified as Aspergillus niger and Penicillium pinophilum.•Microorganisms decreased the pH at the same time th...
