This study was conducted to understand the role of bacterial–fungal interactions on heavy
metal uptake by Zea mays plants. A pot experiment was conducted for 90 days with Z. mays …

The influence of plant primary compounds on the activity of soil microbial communities under
heavy metal stress was studied in a pot-culture field experiment conducted in a green …

A pot experiment was conducted to test the effect of three microbial regimes on the time
course of heavy metal uptake in clover and maize from an industrially polluted soil. The …

We investigated if the limited development of Trifolium repens growing in a heavy metal
(HM) multicontaminated soil was increased by selected native microorganisms, bacteria …

Heavy metal accumulation in crop grains due to hazardous metal contamination is
considered a great concern. However, phytobeneficial fungi are reported to have important …

Pollution of the environment with toxic materials from fossil burning, mining and smelting of
metalliferous ores, disposal of sewage, fertilizers and pesticides has increased dramatically …

Four bacterial isolates were examined for their ability to increase the availability of water
soluble Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn in soils and for their effect on metals uptake by Zea mays and …

Experiments were conducted to investigate the phytotoxic effects of heavy metals on
chickpea, grown in unsterilised soils. Cadmium at 23 mg/kg soil, when used alone or in …

Soils contaminated with heavy metals present a major threat to sustainable agriculture.
Understanding the effects of these metals on pea productivity will be useful. We studied the …

The contamination of agricultural soils by heavy metals is a global problem. Soil texture as a
biotic factor represents one of the most important factors that influences the distribution of …
