Interaction of Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum L. and functional endophyte Pseudomonas sp. Lk9 on soil heavy metals uptake

Combined remediation of Cd–phenanthrene co-contaminated soil by Pleurotus cornucopiae and Bacillus thuringiensis FQ1 and the antioxidant responses in Pleurotus cornucopiae

“…Similar results were reported in studies of cadmium accumulation in Juncus subsecundus and Sedum alfredii (Li and Wong, 2012). Previous studies reported that inoculation of metalresistant bacteria could increase the metal accumulation in plants (Chen et al, 2014;Ma et al, 2013), and organic pollutant-degrading bacterial inoculation also could enhance plants to accumulate more heavy metals . The increased metal accumulation by mushrooms after inoculation of metal-resistant microbes also have been reported (Ji et al, 2012;Jing et al, 2012).…”

Bioremediation of soils co-contaminated with heavy metals and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol by fruiting body of Clitocybe maxima

“…So LMWOAs secreted from mushroom may increase metal availability through acidification and make metal available for mushroom uptake. On the other hand, microorganisms in soil also have great effects on metal forms because of their ability to synthesize metabolites such as siderophores, bio-surfactants and organic acids [45]. Bacterial siderophores are able to bind metals and hence increasing metal bioavailability in the rhizosphere of plants [46], bio-surfactants produced by some microorganisms are capable of modifying the surface of various metals and favoring the metal separation from contaminated environments [47].…”

Lead phytoremediation capacity of Puccinellia distans (Jacq.) Parl. using EDTA and DTPA and associated potential leaching risk

“…These contaminants cannot be mineralized or changed to less toxic forms. Thus, it requires suitable methods for their elimination (Mojiri et al, 2013;Chen et al, 2014;Shahid et al, 2014;Saad-Allah and Elhaak, 2015). Techniques that are commonly used to remediate the contaminated sites include removal of heavy metals by leaching with chelating agents or metal stabilization using soil amendments (Saifullah et al, 2009).…”

“…Compared with these techniques, phytoremediation could be defined as using plants to remove toxic contaminants from soil and water to mitigate contaminated sites (Leguizamo et al, 2017). Phytoremediation is considered as low-cost and environmentally friendly green technology to remediate the contaminated regions (Zhang et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2014;Leguizamo et al, 2017). It is based on the use of natural plants capable of extracting hazardous substances (Ebrahimi, 2016;Mahar et al, 2016).…”
