Abstract

Isolation, characterization and symbiotic efficiency of nitrogenfixing and heavy metal-tolerant bacteria from a coalmine wasteland. Rev Bras Cienc Solo. 2018;42:e0170171.

Delineation of mechanistic approaches of rhizosphere microorganisms facilitated plant health and resilience under challenging conditions

“…strains UFSM-B53 and UFSM-B54, and Burkholderia spp. strain UFSM-B33/ UFSM-B34) isolated from Macroptilium atropurpureum and Vicia sativa are tolerant to alkaline (pH = 9.0) and acidic (pH < 3.0) (Ferreira et al 2018). These strains also show differentially tolerance capacity to high metal concentrations in the order of Cr > Cd > Zn > Ni > Cu.…”
