Diversity and Phosphate Solubilizing Characteristics of Cultivable Organophosphorus-Mineralizing Bacteria in the Sediments of Sancha Lake

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper has highly improved. 

Three small comments.

Line 49 organo (not Organo)

Line 232 could (not Could)

After table 2 and before line 322 add space. 

--

In real sediment, the anaerobic bacteria may have a higher role, but it should be studied in another research if you have a possibility for this work

Reviewer 2 Report

In this new submission, the authors have considered most of my previous comments, although there were not able to present results on the growth of the tested organophosphorus-mineralizing bacteria. Therefore, I suggest that discussion of stages of bacterial growth related to enzymatic activity and other parameters analyzed should be taken with caution (L318-L323) and make aware the readers of that.
