Serpentine plants commonly known as “serpentinophytes” represent a specialized
vegetation growing on naturally metal percolated serpentine habitats that are derived from …

Serpentine or ultramafic soils are produced by weathering and pedogenesis of ultramafic
rocks that are characterized by high levels of Ni, Cr, and sometimes Co, but contain low …

The microbiome is the synchronised congregation of millions of microbial cells in a particular
ecosystem. The rhizospheric, phyllospheric, and endospheric microbial diversity of lower …

During recent years there has been an increasing interest in the bacterial communities
occurring in unusual, often extreme, environments. On serpentine outcrops around the …

It is well known that bacteria are commonly associated to the plants, either on the outer
surfaces (epiphytes) that inside the plant tissues (endophytes). These bacteria mainly …

Prosopis juliflora is characterized by distinct and profuse growth even in nutritionally poor
soil and environmentally stressed conditions and is believed to harbor some novel heavy …

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of inoculation of rhizosphere or endophytic
bacteria (Psychrobacter sp. SRS8 and Pseudomonas sp. A3R3, respectively) isolated from a …

Plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) help plants thrive in polluted environments and
increase crops yield using fewer inputs. Therefore, the design of tailored biofertilizers is of …

Abstract Lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), and cadmium (Cd) are known for its harmful effects on the
environment. Microbial community related to soil plays a pivotal role in configuring several …
