The phrase "as a phosphorus source" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or technical contexts when discussing the role of phosphorus in a particular process or application.
Example: "In this experiment, we utilized potassium phosphate as a phosphorus source to promote plant growth."
Alternatives: "as a source of phosphorus" or "as a phosphorus provider".
Iron phosphide nanowires have been synthesized through a nonaqueous approach that utilizes Fe acac 3 as an iron source, TOP as a phosphorus source and oleylamine as solvent.
Therefore, total phosphorus content of algal biomass was estimated in order to confirm their capability to utilise malathion as a phosphorus source.
In the IDPFR, phosphate not only serves as a phosphorus source for microbial growth, but also can buffer the pH change in the fermentation system.
Orthologous genes of the phosphonate transporter complex and the C-P lyase in E. coli are found in the genomes of PCC7120, IMS101 and Bprime, suggesting that these species are capable of utilizing phosphonates as a phosphorus source for growth.
The strain's dual ability to utilize phosphite as a single phosphorus source and/or as an electron source to support its energy metabolism distinguishes it from all other phosphite oxidizers known to date.
Tripolyphosphates (TPP) have been commonly used as a phosphorus (P) source in slow release liquid fertilizers [1 3].
Phosphotriesterase mutants were screened for activity by growing transformed Escherichia coli on agar plates containing methyl paraoxon as a sole phosphorus source.
Algal strains were grown under phosphorus limitation condition in absence and presence of malathion in order to investigate their ability to utilise malathion as a sole phosphorus source.
Results in Table 2 illustrated that the phosphorus content of the cells which grew under P-limitation and in presence of malathion was much higher than that found in cells cultured under the same conditions but without the addition of malathion revealing the capability of this strain to break down and utilize malathion as a sole phosphorus source.
Bulk Ni2P and Al2O3-supported Ni2P were prepared at low phosphidation temperature (300 or 330 °C) from nickel nitrate, oxide, sulfate, chloride, and acetate as nickel source and ammonium and sodium hypophosphite as well as hypophosphoric acid as phosphorus source.
In this work, nanostructured nickel phosphides supported on carbon nanospheres (CNSs) with different carbon content (Ni2P/CNSs-x, x = 10, 20, 40, 60) are synthesized by thermal decomposition using nickel acetylacetonate as nickel source and trioctylphosphine as phosphorus source in an oleylamine solution containing CNSs for the first time.
